Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda NC750X 2014

The NC750X with conventional manual transmission is certainly a good bike with ingeniously practical gimmicks like the spacious compartment in place of the tank.

Solid workmanship

rustic look

upright seating position

padded saddle

smooth braking system.

High competition

relatively expensive.

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2014

Like the Kawasaki Versys, the small V-Strom is getting on a bit. The 1000 is so well done and easy to ride that you should consider taking the "big one" right away. In terms of versatility, however, the 650 is in no way inferior to the big V-Strom, and at a much lower price. But we wouldn't take it to the racetrack any more. And of course it has to cope with a heavy load more than a motorbike with 100+ hp.

Full torque

good sound

large tank

relaxed seating position

somewhat old-fashioned look

narrow handlebars

sluggish in bends
