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

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2022

The Triumph Speed Twin could be the height of emotion for fans of classic Triumph motorbikes. The engine pushes like a tractor in every situation and spoils you with a wonderful sound. Chassis and brake components are of high quality and the looks are inspiring. Unfortunately, tall riders cannot enjoy the small 1200 quite as easily as riders under 1.85 metres.
