Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki SV 650 2021
Not much has changed on the Suzuki SV 650 compared to its predecessor, five years ago. The engine has been updated to Euro5 and is now even more mature, which fits in perfectly 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 The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated.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.
Triumph Street Twin 2018
The new Triumph Street Twin cleverly continues the success story of the predecessor model; instead of radical changes, there are targeted improvements to the engine, brakes, chassis and ergonomics. The enormous 10 hp increase in power is nice, but the special character of the powerful in-line two-wheeler is still experienced more in the mid-range. Added to this is an improved look and feel at a price that is hardly higher. If you have too much money in your wallet, you can pimp and customise your Street Twin with almost 140 original accessories.
