Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-07 2021

Simply casual motorcycling! The MT-07 conveys carefree joie de vivre and you love to waggle the lively machine through the bends. The engine is still a guarantee for riding fun. It's amazing how much fire blazes in this little part. Unfortunately, the chassis is still not really good. Together with the missing quickshifter, it is reminiscent of the Yamaha's mild price tag.

Great engine

Pleasant ergonomics

Transparent brake feel

Good price / performance ratio

Transparent handling

Good mix of cool and practical

Chassis finds its limits with a very sporty driving style

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 The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated.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