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.

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.
