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?

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...
