    Great motorcycle. Fun, not scary. Controllable and smooth power. Made for the street and real riding. And the sound??....with aftermarket exhaust?... Great! Brakes good, comfort good, engine good, handling good. It works for me! :)

    Bought this Suzuki SV1000S bike a year ago in Tampa after hearing the exhaust, the orig owner was a performance exhaust guy, sold the Bandit 1200s the next day on Craigslist in Vancouver during a snowstorm and took ownership the next week. First V-twin, will be my last bike as I'm now 65. Try not to ride it as it's hard not to be an idiot even at this age. Prefer the roads in British Columbia to Florida, this bike was wasted down there.Love the 5K in mods done to the bike, it's a one of a kind, ...

    Suzuki SV1000S engine has genetics from WSB late 1990s - big twin, light flywheel and no counterbalancer all shout SPIN ME!
    Very good ergo's - I have done 650 miles/day, and yet have great control on track days.
    No mechanical problems, even though I commuted through a rainy winter on it, and now have 16K miles on the odo.
    Since I bought the black one, I just trimmed the rear fender off, and ...very clean result at almost no cost. (bought flush signals).
    Suspension and frame and engine are all ve ...

    I bought my Sv1000s k3 in 2004, its a run out 03 model. I must admit i'll never sell it, i've ridden several bikes since buying it even some in "racing red" and even then still find my sv to be such an enjoyable bike too ride, after several thousand kilometres I did find that a few tweeks in the front end did make the cornering a bit tighter on the uneven twisty's. I put a set of staintune pipes on it and like any other set of aftermarket pipes really lifts the sound/thrill factor. The only thi ...

    Mines a k3 on a 04 plate. Has ohlins front & adjustable rear suspension, hugger, single seat cowl, g-force cans, air box mod, lower fairings, xenon HID kit and tail tidy. I absolutely adore this bike. I do about 12-15k miles per year but I'm not into high bar sit-up type bikes. For its style it ' s still very comfortable even for the mileage I do. Planning the next trip to Europe for it and I have no doubt it ' ll get me there and I ' ll still be able to walk and pick up a pint. As for going to ...

    A great bike, Superb sound with the right cans on, very reliable, economical if you take it easy, easy to ride, riser bars make the bike a bit easier on the wrists, just done 440km on tight twisty roads, without too much problem at all,just bit sore right wrist, but I think that arthritis. I'm in my 50's.Make sure you have the tyre's pumped to the correct psi, or like most bikes the handling may seem a bit astray. I feel quite at home waving to other bikes on high speed corners, the bike holds c ...

    I own a K6 model of the Suzuki SV1000s and it is such a great bike, it pulls from as little as 2000Rpm on 6th gear without problems, and it will reach 150Mph at 9000Rpm in no time. There are faster and better bikes out there, but none of them have this price tag.
    Value for money is top here!

    Great driving position, bulletproof motor (mine blew a piston when had like, 10000 miles but hey), lots of torgue, very unique fairing looks, great all-rounder.
    Makes you fall in love with it, well, some of you. Thats why a 10 and not an 8.

    Good everyday usable power. Sounds awesome with Two Brothers after market pipes. Looks amazing. I think its the best looking bike out there bar none, one of the reasons I bought it. Tonnes of torque in any gear.
    I have owned 15 bikes and have finally found a bike I can grow old with. I have absolutely no regrets buying my 2007 SV1000.
    Done 15,000 kms on it, with zero problems. Best bike I've ever owned.

    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 ...

    I have had a 2003 Suzuki SV 1000s for a few months now and found it to be a fantastic bike. The mrs goes on the back and she loves it also. I find it nice to ride and you can go for a hr or so before you have to stech your legs. I'm a big lad tho 6.2 and 18st. If I was to change I would have to look hard for a better bike.

    This is my first bike I have had it for about 7 months now and I must say that it is a dream to ride, it's very comfortable over a long distance, amazing bike all round and sounds the mutts nuts.

    I can happily say I am quite impressed with this bike, as ann all rounder it is just the job. It is as light as a 600cc bike and handles just as well. Riding a V twin for the first time I'm happy with the performance but it did take time to get used to the different engine noise.

    All round excellent bike.Bit heavy on petrol but if you actually worry about that you shouldn't have a bike in the first place.....Very chunky V-twin with good power distribution all the way through.Quite easy to throw about for the size.
    Lovely noise even with standard cans built better with blue flame titanium numbers.

    Would recommend this bike to anyone looking to do sport riding with occasional track days. With a good rider this bike could easily hang with the best sports bike.

    I've had my Suzuki SV1000S 05 for several months now. The SV is what biking is all about, fun. It puts a smile on my face every time i'm on it.
    Defiantly doesn't have the great engine of my old ZRX1200, but very usable and surprisingly revy for a twin. Along with a nice engine, it has an awesome, practically spaced transmission unlike the track-inspired trannies on almost all supersports.
    Mine has Leo Vince cans (nice sound!), but has yet to be tuned in removing intake snorkle has helped.
    I ...
