Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha XSR700 2023
Can do everything but nothing well? A clear NO! The lively and agile retro bike with a sufficiently powerful engine can be a good all-rounder, which is also visually appealing and tempts you to heat up the corners. Overall, I find the bike fantastically nimble and sporty and agile, even as a woman. The engine works better than expected and the riding position is more than comfortable. In terms of maximum lean angle, however, there would have been some air at high rpms. I think that many people will continue to choose this bike because there is simply not much you can do wrong.

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.
