Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
Yamaha MT-07 2017
Even after three years, the Yamaha MT-07 is still a public favourite. No one else beats such a price-performance ratio. The two-cylinder engine is powerful, but can be dosed very gently at low revs. The display is also one of the best in this class, with good readability. Only the chassis is disappointing. In a sporty riding style, it is simply too soft, which can cause the MT-07 to sway.
