Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2025

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2025

The small V-Strom 650 is not only visually close to the big V-Strom 1000 with its pronounced duckbill, stacked headlights and extensive instruments. The equipment does not correspond at all to what is understood by "cheap entry": traction control, lively Euro4 engine, harmonious handling and additional techno-gadgets such as Low RPM Assist or Suzuki Easy Start System. To the delight of the customers, the price is kept within reasonable limits.

Lively, economical engine

balanced handling

good wind protection

traction control and ABS as standard

looks in the style of its big sister

extensive instrumentation with gear indicator

12-volt socket in the cockpit area

good price.

Traction control in mode 2 very restrictive

Honda XL750 Transalp 2025

Honda XL750 Transalp 2025

The essence of the Honda XL750 Transalp has not completely changed with the revision for 2025, it still manages the balancing act between different disciplines of motorcycling and shines wherever it doesn't get too extreme. Its greatest strengths are its low weight and the resulting easy handling. The engine is a really powerful unit and the engine management is well setup, but the inline-two could offer a little more punch at low revs. The suspension has now been improved, the brakes offer plenty of comfort and handle all moderate riding situations with aplomb, but merciless cornering or hard off-roads are still not entirely suited to it. However, the Transalp's task is not to win races or rallies, but to carry everyday riders and long-distance touring riders through the world with confidence. And it can do that! Only one thing hurts here: The lack of cruise control.

accessible, yet fun engine with plenty of power

well suited for smaller riders, but also roomy enough for taller riders

great workmanship

precise transmission, top quickshifter (optional)

good price-performance ratio

low weight

easy handling in all situations

low fuel consumption

improved suspension

intuitive electronics, high-quality switches

No cruise control, not even as an accessory

relatively little maximum lean angle

carefully tuned Assistance Systems that have to manage without IMU
