Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki SV 650 2017

Suzuki SV 650 2017

The Suzuki SV 650 is accompanied by a long history of success that is sure to continue for a long time. Its supple V2 impresses with very smooth response and plenty of torque. Compact dimensions help to make the motorbike look very compact. This will be very convenient for beginners. The chassis also scores with playful handling. Unfortunately, the braking effect is not at the level one would expect from such a powerful vehicle.

Smooth engine

playful handling

great chassis

Brake too weak

Triumph Thruxton 1200R 2016

Triumph Thruxton 1200R 2016

A masterpiece in combining classic design and new technology. The new Thruxton R is a retro naked bike with serious sporting ambitions that need not fear a trip to the racetrack. The engine is a blast and the brakes and chassis are of the highest standard. The ABS and TC riding aids are on board as standard and can be switched off if required. With 2 Inspiration kits, a Race kit and over 160 accessories, the Thruxton is infinitely customisable. Perhaps the best attempt yet to combine history with the future.

Full torque

strong brakes

top chassis

anti-hopping

ABS, TC and 3 riding modes standard

great design.

Not enough lean angle clearance for race track

seat a little uncomfortable
