Suzuki SV650X (2018 onwards)
The SV650X is a cafe racer version of one of the most popular naked bikes of all times, the regular Suzuki SV650. The bike features a stylish retro design with a large round headlight and cool leather seat, which makes it stand out from most other motorcycles.
Another feature that makes the SV650X stand out from other naked bikes is the 650cc V-twin engine. It sounds better than a parallel twin engine and is super responsive at all revs. On top of that, the engine is extremely reliable if you look after it.
The Suzuki SV650X is great for both everyday commuting and riding down back roads on Sunday evening. Thanks to its affordability and reliability, it remains one of the best beginner motorcycles you can ride on your A2 licence.
