Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki SV 650 2016
The new SV650 continues the visual minimalism of the first two SV650 generations, but builds technically on its direct predecessor, the SFV650 Gladius - two excellent moves that turn the very modern SV650 into a classic. The design fits wonderfully into the era of many retro conversions, but inside there are also modern gimmicks that make it easier for beginners in particular to get started. The engine, on the other hand, can also convince advanced riders; the typical V2 feeling is wonderful. You shouldn't expect extreme sportiness in the chassis and brakes, but the price of just under 6400 euros (in Germany) is a statement that the competition will have to swallow.
Yamaha XSR700 2015
With the XSR700, Yamaha has once again hit the jackpot. The retro look with modern elements is currently very popular with customers. The fact that it is based on the affordable MT-07 is not at all a problem, as the entry-level bike is known for being extremely sporty and agile. The XSR700's comfortable chassis and upright riding position are a perfect match. The price of almost 9,000 euros seems steep at first glance, especially in comparison to the MT-07, but the improved appearance and exclusivity make up for the money.
