Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki SV-7GX 2026

Suzuki SV-7GX 2026

The Suzuki SV-7GX isn’t a bike for pub-talk heroes, but for clocking up real kilometres in everyday life. It combines the appealing V2 character with modern electronics, good wind protection and a price that’s really competitive in this class. You do feel the 211 kg when manoeuvring, and very tall riders or adrenaline junkies will be better off looking elsewhere. For everyone else, it’s an astonishingly well-rounded, accessible and highly recommendable Suzuki.

Excellent value for money

a leaner, familiar V2 character

a superb quickshifter

accessible ergonomics that suit many riders

great responsiveness from the engine

a comfortable ride

211 kg is noticeable when manoeuvring

too compact for very tall riders

the luggage rack is very sturdy but rather clunky in design

Honda CB1000 Hornet 2026

Honda CB1000 Hornet 2026

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
