Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2015
In the large enduro segment, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 occupies the position of the cheapest offer, yet you don't have to do without anything - even traction control and ABS are included as standard. Excellent brakes, great comfort and a wonderfully powerful V-twin engine are ingredients that should please almost everyone. The fact that it doesn't play in the top league with 100 hp is made up for by the wonderful power delivery, which ensures a relaxed climate on long journeys. Only the wind protection is not optimal with the original windshield; one should invest in the affordable, somewhat larger windshield.

The new touring enduro from Aprilia rides well, but nowhere better than a competitor. In bends, however, the damping proves to be a little too soft. The nimble appearance is somewhat deceptive - the Aprilia is a very comfortable touring bike.
