Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-07 2020

Yamaha MT-07 2020

The MT-07 is a wonderful fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch and the engine is currently by far the most agile powerplant in this class - and perhaps even above. The light handling fits in perfectly and the chassis makes the understandable compromise between comfort and sport - reminding us that the affordable MT-07 should also have a lot to offer beginners. Only the design with halogen headlights and conventional forks is rather old-fashioned.

High-torque two-cylinder

well-done chassis set-up

easy to ride

pleasant seating position

large selection of accessories

price-performance ratio is right

Optics and fittings already look grey

controls on the handlebars a little cheap

Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT 2021

Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT 2021

The V-Strom 650 XT may be getting on a bit, but it's still a good bike. Especially if you don't need a colour display and don't intend to leave the paved road. The 650 is an easy motorbike to ride and is hardly ever out of its depth. What's more, this model has already proven itself a zillion times over, which underlines its durability and longevity.

Simple, uncomplicated bike

proven technology

good price/performance ratio

Design and equipment are a bit outdated

very limited off-road capability
