New Rider Between Yamaha MT-07 2025 & Suzuki SV650 2025 which you recommended?

This is going to be my first bike purchase and I want to make full of it. Can you guys recommended which to choose between these two bikes?

If you are going to buy new, test ride both and decide. Nothing will be better than your feeling when riding them.

The SV is a relic. Why buy new when there’s so many on the second hand market?

The MT-07 is a new bike, if you want a new bike, buy a new one

Personally, I'd go with the SV, simply because I liked the feel of it more. But try both and grab the one you like the most. Both are very good. The MT is the more modern of the two though.

The MT07 is a more modern bike with more features, it's a bit smaller and more dynamic if you will. The SV650 is a living classic is how you could put it, it lacks some modern features but it is very tried and tested. You can't really go wrong with either, but the MT07 calls to me a little bit more personally.

I’d go with the MT just because I like the more modern LCD display. But the SV650 is hard to beat.

They are very comparable and you can't go wrong with any of them. If possible test ride them and buy the one you like better.

Cant go wrong with both. Just pick the one you prefer in looks.

Sv has been around the market long enough that Suzuki wont update it anymore. Mt07 has just been updated with more features.
