Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki SV 650 2020

The Suzuki SV 650 is accompanied by a long history of success that is sure to continue for a long time. Its supple V2 impresses with very smooth response and plenty of torque. Compact dimensions help to make the motorbike look very compact. This will be very convenient for beginners. The chassis also scores with playful handling. Unfortunately, the braking effect is not at the level one would expect from such a powerful vehicle.

Smooth engine

playful handling

great chassis

Brake too weak

Honda CBR500R 2019

All in all, the new CBR500R is guaranteed to be a suitable entry into the world of the stooped. The look is to die for and appears sporty and aggressive, but the riding itself is child's play. The wind protection is great, the seating position still relatively relaxed. So there's nothing to stop you from being completely happy with this economical sports bike (a little over 4L/100km fuel consumption), both in the corner and on the way to work or university. It will be hard to find another motorbike that is as easy to ride and looks so sporty at the same time!
