Sorry to anybody that only thinks this bike is average, your wrong.
Bikes are just a personal preference but overall these bikes have an excellent reputation. I own and have owned lots of bikes, if i had to own one out of all these it would be the sv 650 without any question. Been lucky enough to ride cbrs, fazers,gsxrs, which are all faster than the sv. But when i go in the garage on a nice sunny day and choose which bike today, its the 2000 model sv 650 that set me back £1200 in front of the more powerful bikes.
The grunt through the gears and handling set this bike apart from the rest. You feel like you can push this bike instead of the bike pushing you to the limits. It gives you the feeling that it wants you to ring its neck and see what it can do.
Buy one, simple. Had both models naked and faired. Both a treat to ride. Make great track bikes aswell.
