Guest's review of Suzuki SV650S

“I've Owned the bike for 4 Months now and can not fault...”

★★★★★

written by on 26/08/2010

I've Owned the bike for 4 Months now and can not fault it, I've just sold my ZXR400 which was Unrestricted, this pushed out 65Bhp and was a real pocket rocket. When i bought the SV650's i was abit unsure of what to expect. I read one or two reviews online, but never test drove one. (Never even sat on it) I bought it on finance for about £3.700, 1 Owner - 4320 Miles on the clock. Bought from Millenium Motorcycles in Saint Helens, UK. The Bike is Part Faired with a Belly pan, Crash Bungs (Cause you never know) and a Quill Evo 2 Aftermarket Can. When i collected it from the Dealership i was very happy with it, the rear lights sell it for me, LED Strips, Beautiful looking, it's one of the first things people notice, i always get the response "The Lights are Amazing!" and they really are, the front lights are very smart aswell on the 06 Model, unsure if it is the same with other years, but there are two small blue lights next to the main lights, very smart and you stand out from a mile away. The bike is Custom Blue and Fade to Black. When i sat on it it felt perfect, im 6"3 and a slim build, so at the lights my knee is slightly bend when touching the floor, but on the pegs it feels great. Off the line it is extremly quick, De-restriced it pushes 74Bhp, and will keep up with a Ninja 6 if you red line it. (With a pillion aswell ;) Very comfy for long rides, beautiful in low rev's, just a nice pur that can with a small blip, give off a mighty growl (especially without the baffel) The Clocks are easy to read night or day, and overall a pleasure to ride



- Problems so far



I have to be honest, there are a few things that have gone wrong, i've never dropped it, but every now and then, when i went over a bump, my indicator would not come on, the wire had come loose. and then the same happened with the headlight... Just annoying, so after a push back in, i was off again.



The tyres are good on this bike, i get my knee down and then some on most corners and the grip is fine.. They don't like rain too much though, just take it easy like you should in the rain on any bike.



Buy an SV650s, they are amazing bikes to own, drive and to be seen on. recommend to anyone!



Have fun people! Drive safe!
