Suzuki XF650 Freewind (1997 - 2002)
There are only a couple of motorbikes that are as affordable and versatile as the Suzuki XF650 Freewind. The only two that come to mind are the BMW F650 and Aprilia Pegaso, but they are both slightly more expensive than the Suzuki.

Thanks to its affordability and reliability, the Suzuki XF650 Freewind is a perfect bike for all beginner riders and A2 licence holders.
