Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin DCT 2020
For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.
Suzuki V-Strom 1000 2019
Even though Suzuki may not have put as much work into the development of the V-Strom as its competitors in touring enduros, the Suzuki can use this circumstance to its advantage. In a world with extensive electronics packages, it still looks very purist in the 2019 model year, with only the cornering ABS hinting at innovation. Many customers want a simple motorbike, and the V-Strom 1000 appeals to precisely this target group. Its lusty V2 exudes endless character and, thanks to years of testing, is a bulletproof companion. Combined with the potent chassis and relaxed seating position, the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 gives you a sporty touring enduro that stands up to the digitalisation of motorbikes in today's world.
