Suzuki V-Strom 1050 2022

Suzuki V-Strom 1050 2022

In 2020, the V-Strom was improved in a number of ways. The look now fits the great motorbike better and also exudes more attention to detail. The heart of the bike, the engine, is still just as much fun as before. A great power unit! It doesn't overtax, but provides a lot of riding pleasure! It is suitable for everyday use, but also offers a lot of charisma!

Great V2 engine that is completely convincing in practice

good wind protection

pleasant seating comfort

great long-distance capability.

Deficits in the equipment - some details from the XT are unfortunately missed

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2023

The Africa Twin is a true Enduro with tough handling qualities. It looks robust and is well equipped for almost any application. The engine is good, but won't blow adrenaline junkies away. The wind protection is great, but too good in summer. Components and attachments are of a high standard. The overall build quality is superior and the mobile phone integration is a great solution. Even after many test rides, the switches still seem illogical and confusing. In direct comparison, it somehow floats above things. It simply drives confidently and well, but cannot shine with spectacular values.

Very good chassis - both mechanical and electronic

DCT option makes it a superior touring bike

high quality and practical electronic ride aids

fundamentally good wind protection

high quality overall impression

flawless engine with great response and linear torque curve

accessible handling

very pleasant ride

wonderfully versatile bike.

Wind protection too good in the heat - even the lowest position of the wind shield hardly lets any wind through

operation via the numerous switches seems complex overall even after 2 days of testing

seat seems a bit too soft after a long day.
