Suzuki SV-7GX 2026

Suzuki SV-7GX 2026

The Suzuki SV-7GX isn’t a bike for pub-talk heroes, but for clocking up real kilometres in everyday life. It combines the appealing V2 character with modern electronics, good wind protection and a price that’s really competitive in this class. You do feel the 211 kg when manoeuvring, and very tall riders or adrenaline junkies will be better off looking elsewhere. For everyone else, it’s an astonishingly well-rounded, accessible and highly recommendable Suzuki.

Excellent value for money

a leaner, familiar V2 character

a superb quickshifter

accessible ergonomics that suit many riders

great responsiveness from the engine

a comfortable ride

211 kg is noticeable when manoeuvring

too compact for very tall riders

the luggage rack is very sturdy but rather clunky in design

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2019

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2019

The Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana is based on the naked GSX-S1000 and therefore impresses with all the quality and inner values of a typical Japanese machine. The Katana also has what it takes to become a visual classics, as it is the first to take up the style of the 1980s. The riding position is surprisingly comfortable and the height of the handlebars allows for comfortable control. With its low front fairing, it may not be a true touring machine, but it can certainly pass as a crossover bike that combines retro, naked and touring perfectly.

Powerful and confident in-line four-cylinder engine

absolutely unique look

comfortable seating position

easy handling

five-way adjustable traction control

good braking system

high-quality quickshifter

firm but travel-ready suspension

Few electronic features

relatively high price compared to the basic GSX-S1000

small fuel tank

LC display difficult to read
