Ducati Monster 696 2011
Touring riders, those who like to travel and synchronised riders will not enjoy it due to the lack of mounting options for luggage systems and limited space on the pillion. But modern city dwellers, nimble country dwellers and hard-working weekend sportsmen will find the 696 the lubricant for the purpose - and at a relatively reasonable price.
Suzuki SV 650 2016
The new SV650 continues the visual minimalism of the first two SV650 generations, but builds technically on its direct predecessor, the SFV650 Gladius - two excellent moves that turn the very modern SV650 into a classic. The design fits wonderfully into the era of many retro conversions, but inside there are also modern gimmicks that make it easier for beginners in particular to get started. The engine, on the other hand, can also convince advanced riders; the typical V2 feeling is wonderful. You shouldn't expect extreme sportiness in the chassis and brakes, but the price of just under 6400 euros (in Germany) is a statement that the competition will have to swallow.
