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

The 701 Supermoto is the right vehicle for asphalt surfers who regard a motorbike as a toy without wanting to forego suitability for everyday use. The ABS also meets sporting demands, can be switched off or operated in Supermoto mode using a "dongle" from the accessories. The ride-by-wire offers three different riding modes to choose from, which can also only be changed while riding with an extra. This brings us to the downer in the Austro-Swedish melange: we would have liked to see some extras in the standard equipment. One of these is the set of stickers for the many white surfaces on the fairing.

elegant design

strong brakes

excellently tuned engine

good sound

suitable for everyday use

Some useful extras at extra cost
