Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki SV 650 2024
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 The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated.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.
KTM 690 Duke 2019
When you consider where the KTM Duke range once began, the 690 Duke represents an incredible leap forward. The engine is extremely refined yet incredibly powerful for a road-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it’s still a very light bike and could almost be described as a toy (in the best sense of the word). Only its riding position divides opinion, as the Duke 4, launched in 2012, evolved from the earlier Supermotos into an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented riding position. The advantage is that everyday riding and long tours should pose no problem on the current Duke.
