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

Honda CBR500R 2013

Honda CBR500R 2013

Supersport and everyday utility are two extremes that can only be combined in a compromise that only partially satisfies both sides. Honda has decided to pay more attention to everyday use and to make the CBR500R as accessible and rideable as possible. Visually, it looks sharper than it is, but fun is still not neglected because Honda always pays attention to quality and a harmonious set-up. A good choice for A2 riders and all those for whom 48 hp is enough.
