Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki SV 650 2022

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 The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated.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

KTM 125 Duke 2013

KTM 125 Duke 2013

For 16-year-olds and B-111 owners, the KTM 125 Duke is a blessing because it is not a small moped brand, but a real motorbike brand with sporty prestige and a high coolness factor. Motorcyclists who have outgrown school age will miss performance and are more likely to use the smallest Duke for very short everyday trips, if at all. I would then rather prefer a scooter, which also has storage space.

Extremely manoeuvrable

high-quality equipment

power parts for individualisation

little comfort

modest performance
