Thinking about getting a Suzuki...SV650

[ags0702]

I kinda fell in love with this bike just looking at it, it is like new, and damn can't beat the miles. I really like the styling of being naked. Also cheap insurance, and a nice improvement over a 250! And in my town down the street...input on sv650's? thanks-

She's pretty. Just make sure she runs well and check the car report if you can on a motorcycle. I think you can check if it's had any wrecks.

I like the upright feel when on a bike. U get a good blast of wind though.

I like the upright feel, too, especially from being tall and riding a 250 ninja.

I dig it, those are nice bikes. I got sick of the crunched up feeling of a "rocket" plus those twins sound sweet with a pipe. Only downside is the suspension.

A friend of mine used to roadrace Honda 650 hawks,then he got one of these,he said it was much faster handled better and was less expensive to operate ,he loved it.

The SV650 are very NICE, versatile bikes. they are cheap to run, cheap to maintain, make more than enough power for anything you care to do short of going to the dragstrip with it, including the occasional track day. they are comfortable to ride and hold their value well.


you should be very happy with it. 'gratz!

I had one, best all around bang for buck bike you can buy. FUN.

My buddy had one and sold it to get a 600 r. I have rode both of them and the 650 is a good beginer bike. Much like buying a kawi 750 vs a superjet. It will get the job done, but there is always better. If your gonna spend the k's on a sv, go ahead and spend the couple more and get a 600 r. Better motor, better handleing, better suspension, and better resale value. My philosphy always is, if you settle and get something you want, but not the best, it will just cost you more in the long run. Go ahead and buy the best and the EXACT one you want.

i had one of these when they first came out. it is not a fast bike around 130mph with a yoshi full race pipe. but i will have to say i have had the 600 and the liter bikes and this was by far the funnest bike i have ever owned. it would corner like a mofo and would wheelie so easy. it has a ton of torque. i actually blew it up after ridding a wheelie down the interstate about 1 1/2 miles. i say buy it unless you are looking for speed buy a gsxr 1000.

My buddy has one as a daily driver. He's had dozens of bikes through the years and this is the one he held onto(along with 2 rz350's). It's bored ported and piped and sounds awesome.
