Pros and Cons in comparison

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2022

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2022

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
