I have the normal 2023 Vstrom 1050 with Akrapovic. The bike does deliver. Is fun to ride with great sound, great quickshifter, good brakes. All in all great bikes and I love to ride it in the Alps going alone and riding it quick.

Went from a 18 1250 gsa to a 23 suzuki 1050 DE and love it, more simple, more reliable and plenty of real world power plus i got some change too😊

It will be the Stelvio, it looks great and that transfer V engine is unique! And one more reason, its made in Europe.

Nice vid thanks. I have bought r1300gs triple black with all the extras, 23k but it’s a great bike. Just run a 1000 miles in 3 days and France with lads and it was flawless. I had a 1200gs in 2013. Kept it for 6 months and outed it as not sporty enough, big willowy thing. The 1300 is quicker, tighter and much more fun to ride plus an awesome tourer still IMHO.

Nice review Bob. However, I think it would be better to show the pricing analysis based on configured bikes of what most riders will actually buy. E.g. You aren't ever going to see a 2024 GS on the road that isn't fitted with both the premium and comfort packages, and the popular variants will be GT 'Pro' and V4'S' in this sector. Very few people in western countries just buy a base model - dealers in the US won't even order them!

As I can’t afford any of these, I’ll just have to pick up the Himalayan 😂😂

Got the Multistrada V4S, radar and travel with full Akrapovic installed. Love it 🤛🏼

Grabbed a 2023 1290 SAS few months ago at the end of season sale. Had a pretty good discount on it. Was around $21k (CAD) after discounts and tax. New 2024 model currently selling at over $24k, not including tax!!! Only got 600km on it before having to put away for the winter, but been loving it so far. Can't wait to pull it out in another 3 months or so.

Gotta have two of them! KTM1290SAR for narly offroad fun and the BMW or Ducati for touring with the wife.

Only KTM 1290 SAR caught my eye. I really like it a lot. It capable for any road conditions on-road, off road is perfect ☝🏼

I spent 5 months on a waiting list for a '23 Africa Twin 1100. I ended up declining it and getting my deposit refunded after browsing the Honda forums. I rode the Pan America and loved it but it looked and felt cheap in numerous areas. I ended up on a V-Strom 800DE and, aside from having the worst headlight ever installed on a bike, it's been fantastic. Absolutely love it.

I think the last time I saw a Multistrada V4 that I actually drooled. Never ridden one, but I did spend some time on the Tiger 1200 Rally Pro and it was a pretty amazing machine.

[Mytwistedvoices]

The problem with HD is that i walked into the showroom with $18k budget. The bikes after mark up were starting at $21k. They offered financing but I didn't want too.

[manuel_tp]

I love my Honda ATAS, I just wish for shaft drive (unpopular opinion, but that is what I want).

[cnnproperty]

🔥🔥🔥KTM 1290 SAS 🔥🔥🔥 when you on it you love it🎉

[Kevimoto]

Tiger Rally Explorer for me. I love that engine and it's one of the most comfortable bikes I've ever ridden. I don't know what all the fuss is about vibration. I guess that affects some more than others. That's nothing a set of bar end weights won't solve though. I have to say that the you get a lot of bike for the money with the VStrom. It's really a great bike that I think flies under a lot of people's radar.

[AdventureRockNRoller]

I’ll stick with the Beemers. Overall they’ve got it all more sorted than the rest of them IMO

[verdonrocksphotography]

great list, picking up Multi V4 Rally next Tuesday keep up good work, cheers V!

[Jungleland]

Suzuki or Africa Twin for me. I won't even entertain a European marque as I don't trust their reliability.
