Pros and Cons in comparison

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 The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated.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.

Last V2 powerplant in the class

beginner-friendly seating position

easy handling, timeless look

Brake requires manual force

no electronics on board apart from ABS

instruments moderately readable

Honda CB1000 Hornet 2025

Honda CB1000 Hornet 2025

With its successful revisions and cheeky look, the new Hornet is very appealing without being too aggressive. Only the display looks a little out of place in the otherwise harmonious design and the rear silencer will be recognised from a distance even by the short-sighted among us, Euro5+ sends its regards. But thanks to the Honda accessories catalogue, these visual conspicuousnesses can also be remedied with an additional windscreen that better integrates the display and a slim SC-Project silencer. And at the fighting price of €11,990 or €13,990 for the SP, the new Hornisse will be a serious contender in the battle for buyers' favour, as it has hardly any rivals in terms of price/performance ratio.

Very favourable price

Good handling

Cultivated engine running

Pleasing appearance

Noticeable load change

TC control

No more single swing arm
