Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki SV 650 2023
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 The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated.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.
Triumph Thruxton 1200 2017
Even though the Thruxton 1200 is supposed to be the sporty model of the retro line, the normal model was designed to be refreshingly suitable for everyday use and thus harmonious - the sportier Thruxton 1200 R serves the true retro racers anyway. This leaves a powerful engine that revs heartily, a good-natured braking system, a somewhat elongated but sufficiently comfortable seating position and inconspicuously packaged electronic features in a motorbike that visually trumps with reminiscences of the good old days without being embarrassing. Triumph has also done an excellent job with the Thruxton 1200!
