Suzuki SV 650 2022

Suzuki SV 650 2022

The Suzuki SV 650 has been on the market for 25 years, longer than any other motorbike. The engine has been updated to Euro5 and is now even more mature, which clearly fits in with the rest of the package. The SV 650 doesn't want to scare anyone, especially beginners. The chassis makes a solid, unagitated impression, the brakes require a lot of manual force to prevent unexpected overbraking. The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated. On the other hand, the price is fair, as usual for Suzuki.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2020

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2020

The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 offers a very coherent overall package in the retro segment. A relaxed seating position, lots of chrome and the cultivated two-cylinder make it a pretty object of desire that also stands up to everyday use. You won't find any modern features, but with an output of 47 hp, traction control and riding modes would be superfluous anyway. If you long for decelerated, relaxed cruising and purist motorcycling, you will definitely be happy with the Interceptor 650.
