Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki SV 650 2021
Not much has changed on the Suzuki SV 650 compared to its predecessor, five years ago. The engine has been updated to Euro5 and is now even more mature, which fits in perfectly with the rest of the package. The SV 650 doesn't want to scare anyone, especially beginners. The chassis makes a solid, unagitated impression, the brakes require a lot of manual force to prevent unexpected overbraking. The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated. On the other hand, the price is fair, as usual for Suzuki.
Triumph Bonneville T100 2021
In 2021, the Triumph Bonneville T100 not only impresses with its stunningly beautiful design, but also looks better than ever in terms of riding. More power, less weight and higher-quality equipment make it a really fun machine for relaxed rides. From country roads to the hustle and bustle of the city, it benefits from its light handling and powerful engine. Sporty rides are prevented by the soft chassis and the low lean angle, but such a rowdy way of moving is not appropriate for a British lady anyway.
