Suzuki SV650X 2018

Suzuki SV650X 2018

Retro is trendy, retro is cool. The people at Suzuki have also recognised this, and although they are not launching many new products for 2018, they are launching a really cool one - the SV650X. Not much had to be changed to place it in the ranks of modern cafe racers: Headlight fairing, paintwork, side panels, saddle and low handlebar ends are enough for the great result. Above all, the front-wheel-oriented seating position suits it well, but does not make it significantly more uncomfortable. The suspension can only be adjusted at the rear, but the lively engine is a blast and the price is right.

Agile, lively and charismatic V2 engine

easy handling, easy to ride despite low handlebars

pleasant seating position with low saddle height

successful gear graduation

low weight

inconspicuous appearance

exhaust look

telescopic fork too soft

no anti-hopping clutch

Take two, pay one. With the MT-09 Tracer, you get almost a whole MT-09 with all its sportiness plus a touring bike that is suitable for everyday use and to some extent suitable for travelling, with decent comfort for all situations. Just remember that there are many more comfortable bikes in this category - but hardly any sportier ones. Easier to ride, easier to control with 3 riding modes, ABS and traction control as standard. Only the wind protection could be better and the seat for long distances can only be found in the accessories.

Sporty performance like all MT-09

3 riding modes

ABS and traction control as standard

taut chassis, plenty of lean angle clearance

Wind protection not optimal

seat could be more comfortable

handlebars too wide for the city
