Pros and Cons in comparison

CFMOTO 700CL-X 2022

As a bike from a lesser-known manufacturer, the CFMOTO 700CL-X is likely to remain an insider tip. However, those who dare to take the plunge will find the CL-X to be a stylish, well-made and agile naked bike with top features at a competitive price. The fully adjustable suspension in particular is unique in this class and could make the right niche of demanding riders happy.

Characterful engine

Agile handling

Brakes are finely controllable

Ample features for the price

Cosy seating position

Fully adjustable suspension

Buttons could give better feedback

brakes not suitable for very sporty riding

Suzuki SV650X 2018

Retro is trendy, retro is cool. The people at Suzuki have also recognised this, and although they are not launching many new products for 2018, they are launching a really cool one - the SV650X. Not much had to be changed to place it in the ranks of modern cafe racers: Headlight fairing, paintwork, side panels, saddle and low handlebar ends are enough for the great result. Above all, the front-wheel-oriented seating position suits it well, but does not make it significantly more uncomfortable. The suspension can only be adjusted at the rear, but the lively engine is a blast and the price is right.

Agile, lively and charismatic V2 engine

easy handling, easy to ride despite low handlebars

pleasant seating position with low saddle height

successful gear graduation

low weight

inconspicuous appearance

exhaust look

telescopic fork too soft

no anti-hopping clutch
