Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z 750 2009

A good bike at a very good price, especially the upside-down fork is convincing.

improved torque curve

upside-down fork

aggressive engine

low price

high weight

4 hp less than the predecessor

not exactly effortless driving

Suzuki SV 650 2018

The Suzuki SV 650 is accompanied by a long history of success that is sure to continue for a long time. Its supple V2 impresses with very smooth response and plenty of torque. Compact dimensions help to make the motorbike look very compact. This will be very convenient for beginners. The chassis also scores with playful handling. Unfortunately, the braking effect is not at the level one would expect from such a powerful vehicle.

Smooth engine

playful handling

great chassis

Brake too weak
