Suzuki SV 650 2016
A nova SV650 continua o minimalismo visual das duas primeiras gerações da SV650, mas baseia-se tecnicamente na sua antecessora direta, a SFV650 Gladius - duas excelentes jogadas que transformam a muito moderna SV650 num clássico. O design enquadra-se perfeitamente na era de muitas conversões retro, mas no interior também existem truques modernos que facilitam o arranque, especialmente para os principiantes. O motor, por outro lado, também pode convencer os condutores avançados; a sensação típica da V2 é maravilhosa. Não se deve esperar extrema desportividade no chassis e nos travões, mas o preço de pouco menos de 6400 euros (na Alemanha) é uma afirmação que a concorrência terá de engolir.

A nova Duke também tem um núcleo insanamente duro. Com o dinheiro poupado - a nova Duke é significativamente mais barata do que a antiga Duke R - com um pequeno investimento pode voltar a construir uma verdadeira máquina de corridas KTM e levar os pilotos nipónicos ao desespero.
