Suzuki v-strom 800 vs CF moto 800 mtx

I’m really struggling to choose between these two bikes. The Suzuki has the advantage of a solid and reliable brand behind it, but CF Moto offers a lot more features for the same price — if not cheaper.

It feels odd that in 2025 Suzuki still doesn’t include cruise control, and even charges around 350€ for heated grips.

Does anyone have experience or opinions on these two bikes? Any insight would be appreciated.
