proud owner of this bike...2020 and still running great

[@griffin5977]

I’m looking at getting a 2002 sv650s 38000 miles good. It had carb rebuilt in 2012. What you think is it worth it?

[@negoras]

@@griffin5977 Yes,its a great bike for commute,spirit driving-track,travel it tick all the boxes!

[@griffin5977]

negoras awesome I’m looking at that or a 2010 Kawasaki Vulcan 900. That’s for the info

[@negoras]

@@griffin5977 hope you make the best dicision for your driving style and needs bro

[@jondonnelly]

Bought this new in silver as my first bike. Really was the perfect amount of power to learn on but fast enough to not get bored of too quickly.

[@tomnorris1548]

I realised I had become old when I found myself looking at one of these as a second bike having not ridden one for about 10 years. You can have a hell of a lot more fun in one if these that any 1000cc bike. Yes, you won't get there as quickly but there's a lot to be said for being able to use all of a bikes performance, its such good fun.

[@shiftyshamsk]

I'm 54 and think the same. I've a GPZ500S for backroads. A 800 honda for distances. But I find taking the GPZ500S is much more fun. So I'm looking to get an SV instead.

[@daveking650]

Agree with all the reviewers comments. I have a 2001 SV650S has 130,000 on the clock. Has a big bore Arrow titanium pipe, sounds just like a Ducati. Only maintenance was to replace wear parts. Never adjusted the valves, always use high grade synthetic oil. GREAT BIKE. Tires are worn to about 1/4 inch of the edge rim on the tyre.

[@gaithernarron7593]

@dave king I have the same bike at 55k and would love to see a video of how you've kept it going that long. and about the boring process. Thanks

0-100kph in 3.2 seconds. 😄

[@Boristhe3rd]

2002 Honda GSXR review linked in the video is this a honda & suzuki joint venture?

[@toadamine]

I'll take whatever she's selling 😂

[@toadamine]

@PowerOf One idk, if she's impressed with an SV650, I think I can.. lol

[@blackbeard1074]

Her ass

[@paulfitz5465]

Bought an sv650s old school model lovely engine goes well too!

[@cammymillard7385]

Got myself a lovely silver 02 example in time for passing my test. 34k miles and all it wants is fork seals in the near future. Having done some riding in "mexico" I already love it. Very easy to ride having come from a 125

[@dufushead]

In the bs world we live in these days, it's refreshing to hear the truth.

[@dkphill]

Every review these guys do its like they are been paid by the manufacturer.... look at any bike or car, and they never say "nah mate walk away, its total sh*t"

[@voxac30withstrat]

Im a retread rider, got back on 2 wheels after a very long haitus. Before I sadlled up again I researched what was considered a good to great bike knowing that yesterdays 750's and 1000s arent a patch on todays bikes and I came up with this little (?) gem. Its brilliant. It handles so well accelerates perfectly and does everything I need it to do. I dont track race, I dont dick around, I just wanted a commute and a bit of the occassional fang. Get one I recommend it. Unless you have a small penis and absolutely need to impress people who probably dont even know you and certainly will think you are a tosser. If thats the case buy a Harley

[@shiftyshamsk]

Agreed. I ride a CBF500 and I've a big donger too.

[@teslaedison6236]

Why are you comparing Harley to a SV650? Lol 😆 I own both and they're both fun as can be. Has absolutely NOTHING to do with my cock size. You dumbass

[@eclipsegfxable]

Bought the 01 year of this bike for my first.

[@hardcoreraver84]

9/10 for build quality??? A couple of British winters would soon lower that score lol

[@jon8069]

I just picked mine up for free

[@emancipatedwarrior6756]

Great vid! What are your thoughts on the Honda NC750X? Check out the review I just did. Similar class. Thx! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6i4aGiHh9ySgpo

These little bikes really are superb. And you can fix and service them yourselves. Cheap and a classic ride too.

[@MyRandomLife247]

TheGeordieBiker This review is really tempting me :(.

[@TheGeordieBiker]

go R1 man!

[@MyRandomLife247]

Can't afford :(. There was one here for sale for $4500 AUD and it's the naked model and looks in really good nick. And I know these are really quick. 0-60mph is like 3 seconds.

[@TheGeordieBiker]

MyRandomLife247 naked version has better handling so you'll have more fun but trust me 0-60 is not 3 seconds :p especially on the naked

[@MyRandomLife247]

Wikipedia said like 3.6 or something. Dude it will beat most V8's and turbo cars off the line ;). That sweet V-Twin sound. I just like having instant torque instead of having to wind the motor up. There is an R1 for sale but its $12,000 which I would never be able to afford now, unless I get a full-time job.

[@TheGeordieBiker]

MyRandomLife247 I'd say it's between 4-5 seconds and the instant torque is just what people say to justify it an R1 would blow it out the water ;) get an older R1 instead of the big bang?

[@trek0660]

Mi SV650 S, año 2000. COMO NUEVA.....

I have to ask as an American. Your "motorcycles are for life, not just for Christmas" statement. Is that a Slade reference? Signed, American Slade Fan.

How is this man and motorcycles with a woman doing the review in narration.. lol change your name

i got no car so no airbags so i want her with my bike to be my airbag

[@M.P.H.94]

subtitle 0:26 ask the 650 ASS? =D

[@richoman3400]

The stock carbys have a hole that will make U do 140 at 8000rpm, trick is to block the holes it opens up to 200 at 8/9 rpm then dyno it.

[@boT6674]

I didn't understand much you have said but do you have a inyernet reference where i can research this??

[@motodojo3899]

Is it classified as sport, touring or sport touring ?

[@eclipsegfxable]

Sport touring

[@logand1438]

Does this bike feel like a rocket, or does it ride like a smaller cruiser? Very much considering this bike, but have no idea what it would ride like considering the fact it looks like a combination between both

[@tazman8697]

+Logan D: A bit of both really, It's all in the wrist. Mine has LSL bars which really make it more comfortable to ride. I have this, an 07 CBR600RR, an 06 GSXR1000 and an 06 SV1000 and this is still my favourite bike.

[@rustyshackleford6874]

The S is quite sporty, pegs ok but a reach to the bars, the N is the same but upright bars, no fairing. Torquier than a 600 4 cylinder, but still only a 650 so does like revs. More like a cheap reliable ducati or something than a cruiser

[@endlessjourney1]

Great info! Is there a difference between 2002 and 2004 models?

The 2002 is the last year of the first gen. The 2nd gen has new looks and fuel injection.

[@blackbeard1074]

2 years

What is a "shassi"?

The correct pronunciation, search it on google

@@amackie1474 OK. As you please. It’s pronounced CHASS-ee according to my search. But I believe it depends on which side of the pond you are on.
