Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki SV 650 2017

Suzuki SV 650 2017

Suzuki SV 650 har en lång historia av framgångar som säkert kommer att fortsätta under lång tid framöver. Dess smidiga V2 imponerar med mycket smidig respons och gott om vridmoment. Kompakta mått bidrar till att motorcykeln ser mycket kompakt ut. Detta kommer att vara mycket bekvämt för nybörjare. Chassit får också poäng med lekfull hantering. Tyvärr är bromseffekten inte på den nivå som man kan förvänta sig av ett så kraftfullt fordon.

Smidig motor, lekfulla köregenskaper, bra chassi

Kawasaki Z900 2018

In the hotly contested naked bike segment, the Z900 plays right at the front. Above all, its engine is absolutely terrific, runs incredibly silky and offers rich power in all rev regions - as befits a Japanese four-cylinder. Its sporty, aggressive appearance matches this. It does without electronic bells and whistles, but still conveys a lot of confidence when chasing corners, braking and accelerating out of them. The low seat is especially beneficial for smaller riders, but taller riders might miss a flatter knee angle on long distances. The low weight and compactness make the Z900 particularly agile and easy to handle. A sporting cannon that is also extremely appealing in terms of price
