Suzuki SV 1000cc Sept '04 (54)

Overall Rating:

Review

Brilliant V twin based on the old TL1000 but with better suspension and sorted fuel injection. Pulls like a train from tick over and makes beautiful music(with aftermarket pipes) all the way to the red line.
I've had mine (the unfaired version) for four months, having exchanged a ZX9R E1 Kawasaki. I am delighted, I've added a pair of loud cans, a tinted screen, bellypan and some bar shields.
The tank range is about 120miles to when the low fuel light comes on then about another 20ish(this has not been fully tested!!)
It is no match for the modern superbike on a track day but for the roads and the real world it will take some beating Fully recommended.

After coming from a BMW 650 i was initially put off by the sportier riding position but this only took about a day to get used to. I have the full fairing model which is well worth getting It looks great and i get almost too much attention form passers by. It looks far sportier than it is. Sounds great with an aftermarket exhaust. Build quality seems solid.
Get one!

Suzuki SV650

Fantastic all rounder bike for riers of all ages.
Handles well, great top speed and a comfortable riding position. As it is a v-twin it sounds great and pulls away quickly with loads of tourque.
As well as the SV650 being a nippy, all rounder 650 it has sharp and attractive good looks.

Suzuki SV650
Suzuki SV650 Sport. Sports bike. Faired. V engined. 650. Ronseal bike. Does what it says on the tin.

Everything works, barring perhaps the visual appearance of the rear LED lights, which seem to have landed from another styling planet, but that's subjective. Sporty, but not very, position. Handles well, but not drastically. Pulls well, but actually seems happier as an autobahn basher where protection is pretty good, nothing seems too over-worked and all the component parts seem happy to keep up. V-twin engine may not be to everyone's liking: it never sounds like it's really going anywhere in a hurry, it doesn't have enough cubes to have a really useful midrange, and off throttle it snatches at the rear wheel like an anchor crying "slipper clutch" please. But that isn't the point. Yes, it's slightly crude, slightly vibey, but just look at what it costs, or rather doesn't cost!

Big kicks per buck. Free restriction. A perfect first big(ish) sporty(ish) bike?

Suzuki SV650
These really are superb bikes. Enough to satisfy hardened bikers and user friendly enough for newbies.
Luvverly punchy V-twin engine throbs out great lumps of power in a georgeous way.
A truly sorted package which delivers sweet handling, characterfull engine and powerfull brakes.
You will not be dissappointed, though I am as I've got to sell mine..too many kids to feed.!
Get one and enjoy.!

Suzuki SV650

Brilliant bike! Its fast enough, handles and stops well and sounds awesome with a Scorpion race can!
Rides superb with lashings of torque, good for both commuting and a bit of scratching!
Only down sides.. finish needs a lot of TLC to keep it good and wind blast at high speed.A brilliant all round package.

Great bike for hooligans and learners alike. I dream of a KTM Superduke but with my tiny budget believe that the SV is the closest thing out there. brilliant for mono'ing high and long and chucking around.
great all round bike for commuting, track and touring....go buy one now!

Great bike for learners and hooligans alike. I dream of a KTM Superduke and believe this is the closest you can get with a tiny budget. Just add some tiny mod's- new pads, hoses, tail tidy and Renthals and you have a sweet all round hack for track, commuting and even long distance riding. BUY ONE!

Ive had mine for over a year now and apart from the odd problem with the front cylinder it is an all round great bike. Cheap, cheerful and keeps up with the pack.

P.s. Keep an eye on your fuel level...

Review

I bought this bike after having the 650 version for a couple of years. The first thing that you will notice is the extra shove from the 996 cc engine. After the 650 it just pulls so strongly from low down through to near the end of the rev range. It is revvy for a twin, the sweet surge of power comes in around 7000 - 9500 rpm but tails off after so running up to red line isnt neccesary. I have aftermarket BOS cans on which give off a deep engine bass tone, and transform in to an 'on song' howl at higher revs. The acceleration from 0-100 mph, and exiting corners is a match for sports 4 cylinders, and for normal riding is very spirited. It will lose out on the fours on top end acceleration but then twins are a different ride altogether anyway. The one gripe about the engine I have is that it is slightly lumpy under 4000 revs, so pull aways arent as smooth, and there is a slight vibration at around 3300 rpm, that at first seems concerning but is a charachteristic of these bikes. Another slight issue is on holding a constant throttle in 5/6 gears around 3500 rpm there is an occasional 'cough' from the fuelling and a resultant misfire, although this is rare and probably just something a fuel remap can eradicate. The seat is relatively comfartable and good for a couple hundred miles before I feel I need a stop, although the fuel economy will stop you long before this. It is thirsty, and a 100 miles will see the fuel light come on, with about 40 miles in reserve after this. Handling is superb, especially compared to my 650 which just felt a bit flighty and front twitchy. The 1000 drops in to corners with predictability and poise, and holds a good line through to the exit. The stock rear supsension setting is quite hard and can catch you out over bumps by bumping you off the seat and then rebounding and smacking you as you come back down, but again something some adjustment could fix. Brakes are strong, they are off the previous gsxr750 model and have more than once supplied the emergency stopping power needed as required in the presence of some errant car drivers ! Finish and quality is good, thankfully they have redressed the problem of the front fork pitting common on the older model 650's by coating the 1000 version forks in protective material. Unfortunately the pitting problem is still present on the engine and clutch casings but regular washing and coating with something like scotoiler 365 will keep the problem at bay.
This is a bike that is well recommended either as a 1st big bike, or a viable reasonable alternative to supersport bikes. Its not really what I would class as a litre beater, or full on superbike but it can hold its own against these bikes up to real world speeds. If you wanted to spice it up further dropping a tooth on the cogs would give very fierce acceleration, or just buy a 1000 four? Tyre wear is good, obviously higher than the 650 but a rear should see about 3-3500 miles before you need to think about replacements. At least if you buy a big twin you always stick out from the crowd, and most people love the sound of a thumpy twin :)
