Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki V-Strom 650 2009
In principle, you can do anything with a V-Strom. It is, for example, a faithful hack'n moped that reliably gets you to work day after day. But it's also a weekend bike that you can take to the Kalte Kuchl or the Soboth on a Sunday. And of course, the V-Strom is particularly well suited for extended tours and trips.
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.
