slowpokebanshee Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I am looking at a Suzuki SV 650 anyone have one? and how much did they pay? likes/dislikes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 My buddy I ride with has an SV 650. He likes it. He got lower/side fairings, and piped it. It definitely can move (I've ridden it a few times). It's a good all-around street bike. Not built for touring or top-end but it'll keep up with the 600/700 classes (except for maybe the Gixxer's or RR's). The seating on it is a bit hard and oddly shaped but the ergonomics are good. Big difference from my GSX 600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 ive ridden one and i think they are pretty cool. similar to an FZ6, but to me it was more comfy. nice power too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman-hott Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 DOnt pay new. Checkout craigslist theres gobs of bikes people are selling, get one almost new for thousands less than what a dealer would cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checkout craigslist theres gobs of bikes people are selling, get one almost new for thousands less than what a dealer would cost. I agree. Let someone else eat the new bike cost. You'll get a much better bang for your buck after someone's paid the interest on it for a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnduner Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 fun bikes but they wont touch any 600 inline4 . more upright sitting. good torq but they are kinda weak on the top end. for a first bike awsome if you can go used itll save you tons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkenaround Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 If you like the sv650 then you should check out the new Kawasaki Ninja 650R which is a parallel twin fuel injected and has a $6299 price tag. Its way more comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
