Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki SV 650 2021

Not much has changed on the Suzuki SV 650 compared to its predecessor, five years ago. The engine has been updated to Euro5 and is now even more mature, which fits in perfectly 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 The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated.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.
Yamaha XJR 1300 2015

In the 2015 model year, the Yamaha XJR 1300 represents the last stage of evolution and possibly also the last chance for a really fat air-cooled four-cylinder. Yamaha has had a tradition in this segment for decades, and in recent years it has become cool to use such motorbikes as the basis for caferacer conversions. The XJR 1300 doesn't look artificial, but honest. If you like four-cylinder engines, you've come to the right place. In addition to its cool looks, rich torque and casual riding feel, the bike also offers a lot of practical benefits. Both in the city and on long tours, you have a lot of fun with the motorbike. Unlike the Racer, a few small additional accessories would do it good so that it can show its full potential in front of the cafe.
