Suzuki SV650X 2018

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

KTM 690 Duke 2013

KTM 690 Duke 2013

For pure fun, the 690 Duke without the R is already sufficient. The potent single-cylinder engine is almost identical, as is the weight and handling, and the appearance is too similar to be a real selling point for the 690 Duke R.

Light weight

sufficient power

low consumption

No chassis adjustment possible

low comfort
