BlackPearl's Review of Suzuki SV1000S Sports Bike
26th Jul 2008
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Length of ownership2 years
- Reliability
- Year Manufactured2005
- Build quality
A good looking bike with an engine that pulls like a train in any gear. Stable and planted on the road and track.
Bad Points
Mine has a tendency to hit a false neutral between 4th and 5th.
General Comments
I have added braided hoses, carbon cans, rear hugger, lower fairings, crash bungs, gel seat and a single seat cowl to mine. Most of these are genuine Suzuki parts. I have also lowered it as I am not very tall, and had it sprayed pearlised black as I thought it was sexier than the red it was originally.
It holds it's own on the track, especially through the bends but tends to be marmalised on the longer straights. It would benefit from some softer rubber than the stock Michelins that it left the factory with.

Insurance
So, if a driver with the $5,000 minimum totals out your $15,000 bike, his insurance company will pay you only $5,000. How will you get the other $10,000?
