[@grinningdemonz28]

I'm a first time rider (squidlet) who literally just purchased a 2020 SV 650 ABS today, what a great video guys. One thing I think this video doesn't touch on at all is the MSRP of a standard 650 ABS is $1300 cheaper at $7,099. For a first time rider (or any rider) price can be a big factor in a decision. I know they are giving away the X version hence the comparison, but for me (and this guy Josh in the vid) the deal killer on the X were the clip-ons, I really preferred the standard bars and riding position (and price) of the regular SV 650. That being said Yammie's love of the SV 650 played a huge factor in me choosing it as my first bike.

I have a 2007 Naked! These are awesome bikes, it's my 3rd bike. 1st was a Suzuki GS500E, then a Honda ST1100 and now this SV650. Very happy. It has more power than the GS500 (70hp vs 40hp) but is still more flickable and light compared to the ST1100 (which has 100hp but weights 600lbs - I mainly use it now for when my fiancé and I go slow cruising together).

I have the "normal" 2018 model (no X). Fantastic bike, nimble, delightful engine, reliable, fast and does 60 mpg. I have also other bikes but the SV will stay with me for a long time. Incredible value for money.

[@nickstick18]

A few weeks ago, I was out testing 2019 models of both the regular SV650 and the SV650X. My impressions were kind of the same. While the sportier riding position of the clip-ons on the X made it feel aggressive and fun in a different way, it quickly became uncomfortable. It reminded me a lot of my old R6 in that way, fun for short bursts but I wouldn't want to go for rides longer than an hour on it. I ended up settling on the regular SV650 with the upright bars and the dark grey/red frame color combo. I preferred the look of the regular model a bit more and after looking online, there are plenty of options to convert the handlebars to a more sporty ergonomic setup like the X, if I decide to go that route later. Something not mentioned in this video: the seat on the X looks different and has slightly more padding in it than the regular model, which some people might appreciate. The regular SV650 also lacks the pre-load adjustment on the front forks like the X, if that's something you care about.

[@Watchmaty]

After ride SV650 in the busy and traffic city like BANGKOK, i would say it's the best city and country motocycle.

[@jakelongbella654]

I dont know how much it's been said but Josh is pretty cool. It's nice to see him in the videos and I'm not upset at all to see him give his beginner impressions.

[@GeneralAnonymity]

How has it been?

[@juno_99]

@@GeneralAnonymityHonestly it's been great so far :) I love the handling, the v2 sound and the linear acceleration. Since I live in Europe I only have the A2 licence, so the bike is limited to 48hp, but as a beginner I think that's more appropriate. I've put frame sliders on it for safety and I think a nice exhaust pipe is gonna be next...

[@Tommytoff]

I've been watching several of your vids as they aren't too bad. I have been riding for close to 40 yrs now - All street. Plus I spent many years with my own business as a riding instructor. One thing that stands out is why do you guys not use all your gears. A lot of the bikes you ride are 6 speed and 5 at a min. Yet you sit in 3rd or 4th for long distances at speeds where you really should be up in top. Firstly it will be easier on your fuel consumption. Importantly it will be crucial to the life of the engine as an engine and gears are designed to be driven with a load on them. I know there are two sides to the thinking the gear does the speed and in a lower gear it is more responsive. That is why you downshift to get to the right gear to make it move. The thing that isn't so good for them is there is a tolerance in each and every bearing. Whether it is a roller or shell bearing they are designed for oil flow and to have working pressure loaded on the bearing. When you sit in a low gear at speeds that it should be upshifted to top. It has several moments where the engine has its turning parts loose and you are getting microscopic movements that are allowing it to move to positions it isn't meant to go, essentially floating. This accelerates wear in the bearings over time. Staying in a lower gear at speed also makes it twitchier and harder to maintain constant acceleration or coasting as the tiniest of bumps will often have you slightly opening or closing the throttle depending how tight you really shouldn't be hanging on to the controls. Thus also wearing your chains and sprockets before time too. Getting to top gear gets your bike working smoother and with the designed load on all the internals. It also helps with your skill of knowing what gear is the right gear for the right occasion.

[@jasonreynolds7503]

[@encinoman903]

I picked up a 2019 sv650x a week ago, and it's already my favorite bike in my harem.

[@karimhemdan01]

Bought one a year ago as my first bike, no complaints, easy to learn on, and now that I’ve been riding for a while I’ve pushed it a lot more and I still haven’t reached its full potential. The only thing I’d say is on long rides it does tend to become uncomfortable on my wrists, so if anyone has a tip for that lmk. Otherwise great bike, love that VTwin sound

[@rlema1]

yeah, same here, you need to train your "six pack" and legs to get some equilibrium and not to put all your weight on your wrist, for that agressive position. Last week had my first long trip on this bike and just loved it! before that, only city and with covid, very few rides, my back hurts, so, some muscle training and its really better now.

[@paddyjay3364]

Get aftermarket clips ons. I haven't found any that raise up, but if you just take the angle off. I think these might be 10 degrees and you can find them all the way to zero. Makes a huge difference in comfort. I haven't actually done this yet, but that was always the first thing I did on my R1's. I will be doing this in the next week or so. I can't put if off any longer. Also had my seat re done with gell insert. So comfortable now. I used to get them from Heli. Heli bars, but not sure they make them for this bike, but trust me, it will change your ride and you will be able to ride longer. Without making you bike look lame either because they are still clipped on below the top triple tree.

[@the_hippykiller22]

The SV650 is a great bike, not just a great beginner bike. I've been riding for 10 years and used to own the 1st gen, I now own a 2017 and it's mostly a great improvement. The engine has less character, the seat is hard as fuck but otherwise it handles way better. For commuting it's pretty much the same bike although the clutch assistance is pretty cool sometimes. But here lies the problem; You're riding it on straight lines here in the US,while I'm riding it on the twisty back roads of the french riviera, and being an experimented rider the new one is night and day, it handles SO much better. Overall the SV is a fantastic bike for experimented riders who wanna keep their license, it's cheap, fun, handles pretty well, is reliable and a great commuter.

[@rlema1]

agree, I went from a MT03 to sv650x, and no way this is a beginners bike, the aggressive position calls speed and the weight it's a lot for a beginner. City Riding may be a little uncomfortable because the short turn angle also.

[@the_hippykiller22]

@@rlema1 I'd still say it's a good beginner bike though. The weight isn't too noticeable, it's very thin and easy to apprehend especially the regular version. I'm moving towards a Monster 1100 evo but it's still a nice bike even though it has less character than the old carb SV.

[@davidperry2856]

Another killer intro. you guys are just getting better and better.

[@timsretirementjourney8323]

That's a beautiful bike, and being a Suzuki would probably last forever. All of the competitors you showed look great too though. Of that bunch for my own tastes I'd choose the Honda just because of the 4 cylinder and the smoothness a inline 4 brings with it.

[@djoldschool]

Hey Yam, after months of OCD bothering levels of research I've plumped for the SV650 for my first bike in 20 years (looked at everything from a 'Blade to a Street Triple/Sprint ST/Ducati 696 etc) but in the end, didn't want something that would make me quit motorcycling again if I dropped it. Thanks for the vids, you've single-handedly convinced me to jump on another bike and cheat death. Pretty sure I'll have a track day booked by the end of the summer ;)

The XSR 700 is no competition :D I did a test ride, it is a boat. So soft I wouldnt spill any water with a glass taped to my head when breaking. Had a little bit more power but thats not crucial.

[@1chienandalou]

I have researched this to Uber nerd levels. This is pretty much the best bike you’re going to get for short riders since the seat is the lowest that I can see plus being a V twin it’s narrower. This makes a notable difference. My guess is if you’re 5’6” or over you’re probably good. Otherwise it’s dependent on how short your legs are. I’m 5 foot but I always wear regular length or at least 32 inch jeans so my legs are longer and added another inch boots. At this height though, I don’t have that much legs. It’s definitely doable, but because I’m a complete beginner I couldn’t start on it right away. Not even close to flatfoot or even balls of both feet, but on tippy toes. I learned how to ride on a grom which I can get my feet flat and move around pretty comfortably and currently still on it. Hoping to be more confident of managing a taller and heavier bike soon. I’m worried about going from Grom to this, but I can’t find really anything in between. A lot of people claim that should be something but what? Everything I find higher wider seats. (Obviously there are cruisers but that’s not what I’m looking for.). I hope this helps anyone who might be reading it. And yes a completely different thing to be able to manage the weight height and center of gravity and all of those things as a female. But guys will come and tell you they know exactly how it feels regardless...

[@Tybward]

I’ve long wanted the XSR700, now I’ve been recently contemplating the SV650 and the Cb650R. Can’t make up my mind.

[@HS99876]

I would check the problems with XSR700 on internet !! I think SV with the 5 year warranty is a better choice!

[@paddyjay3364]

I have an SV650X model. Not my first bike by any means. Have had 6 sport bikes including two R1's, and two BMW dual purpose 650GS. By far this is my favorite bike. It is a great beginner bike but it is also every bit of bike you need especially if you ride really tight twisty roads like the canyons in Colorado for example, or the Tail of the Dragon in TN. It is much more user friendly and I have no problem keeping up with a liter bike in a tight twistie road. I usually pass them because they just can't handle the really tight corners as well. So many wave me around them because they feel pressured because I am on top them in the corners.

[@CHR.V]

[@jfess1911]

I thought that I wanted a SV650 or Mt-07, but found that the Kawasaki Z650 was more comfortable. The fact that I am short (5'6", 28" inseam) might have something to do with it. It might be down a couple of horsepower at the highest RPM's (according to an article I read), but it's not the kind of thing I am talented enough to notice.

[@funkgremlin2765]

That’s weird cuz the sv650 has a lower seat height than the z650

[@jfess1911]

The SV650 did not feel any lower and was less comfortable... to me at least. The shop had one of each, so I was able to try one right after the other.

[@regabernathy6039]

I would suggest that new riders check insurance rates in their state/province before buying a motorcycle. Where I live insurance rates are based on engine displacement. Under 400cc it's least expensive, and there are 3 more classes 400-750cc, 751-1150cc, and over 1150cc being as expensive as car insurance. My current ride is 1167cc, so being just over the line for the top class, has it's disadvantage of being really expensive.

It's funny they keep calling this a beginner bike. It is definitely beginner friendly but this bike is a blast. I have a 2019 SV650X. It's not my first bike by any means but it's my favorite. My first was an EX500, then a VF4 700. Have had numerous full on sport bikes including 2 R1's . I will say that this 650 is much, much better in tight corners than my R1. I rode my R1 on The Tail of The Dragon and it was way too much bike. I plan on bringing the 650X soon. I live and ride in the Colorado Canyons and feel much more at ease on my SV. I keep up with liter bikes no problem and often need to pass them because they can't take tight corners near as fast as I can. So many of them wave me around them because in the corners I am right on top of them. So if you ever feel the need to move up, think about that. It's way more than a beginner bike if you know how to use its power. Sure the front suspension could be inverted and beefyer. But that is my only complaint. Looking for a wrecked GXR 600 or 750 and put the forks on it. Then the bike will be perfect.

5" rear rim so you could in theory put a 180 rear on it. A 160 on a 5" rim will be rather stretched and therefore run a flatter profile.

Probably picking one of these up in the next few months. I love my f650gs, and chucking it down dirt roads is fun out here in the desert, but riding it at 80mph on the freeway for my commute is very tiring and the bike is really straining at that high rpm.

[@paddyjay3364]

I have owned two 650GS. Loved them except for the 5 speed trany was limited when it came to passing on pavement. I've owned two R1's in the past but last year I picked up a SV650X. Same color as this video. I absolutely love this bike. I don't miss the power of the R1 at all. I find this bike more fun to ride and I can keep up with liter bikes in the Colorado canyons no problem at all. In fact the tighter the corner the more I have to brake, because the liter bikes have to slow down so much I'm always right on top of them in the corners. They often wave me past lol. Think I put to much pressure on them. I find myself passing them all the time on my group rides. Terrific engine braking and the sound of the V Twin. Yummy. Especially with the pipe I have. Not sure I want to share that information lol. No one else has one. I shopped overseas. I see your post is a year old. I hope you found one and am enjoying it.

The MT-07/XSR700 is a more exciting fun bike but the SV handles better, the Z650 has less power than both the Yams and SV but its electronics package and TFT is much more advanced, IMO the CB650 is realistically in a different class from the others.

[@jimmythebeast8279]

Asking 8k for a starting bike with no TC, outdated screen, halogen light bulbs and no quickshifter (compared to competition) and in some cases no ABS is crazy. Crazy to think that the Hornet 750 costs just less than 8k and for the same price you can get heated grips and 2 suitcases... I dunno, sometimes I think Suzuki thinks of themselves as something higher, forgetting their humble beginings.

Great video love it👍 nice break down of the bike.

[@royword176]

Kawa Vulcan 650s would be tha way to go!!😎

[@mikescarpelli2110]

best intro ever

[@MrGerritv]

New soundtrack is a welcome change :D

[@DavitaTZ]

Everytime I see Yammie upload video about begginer bikes I'm excited but then I remember that I live in Europe soo PURE DISAPPOINTMENT

[@grumlygrumeau2564]

Thank you so much for this complete review. Cheers from France. :V

Leur review est loin d'être complète, ils roulent en ligne droite quasi tout le long lol. Je suis passé d'un SV carbu à la dernière, moins de caractère et une selle d'origine super inconfortable mais pour le reste elle a une bien meilleure partie cycle et c'est une super bécane au quotidien et sur les petites routes, même pour les motards expérimentés. L'instrumentation est complète, elle est très fiable, elle freine plutôt bien même avec les étriers 2 pistons de la mienne, cette bécane n'a pas de vrai défaut honnêtement elle est bien meilleure que la concurrence

[@grumlygrumeau2564]

@@the_hippykiller22 ok merci, finalement je me suis orienté sur une F800R... rien à voir. Mais rien à voir aussi avec la Ducati Monster EVO 1100 que j'avais avant. L'important c'est d'avoir la bonne bécane dont on a besoin. Et là j'ai perdu en caractère moteur ce que j'ai gagné en confort et polyvalence. ✌

I love that classic looking seat on the X. When you see the standard version next to the x in the showroom its hard not to want to spend a little extra coin. Just wish it came in different colors.

[@paddyjay3364]

I love my 2019 SV650X. Favorite bike overall, and I have had lots of different sport bikes over the last 34 years. Including 2 R1's. I think the 650 is a much better bike in tight corners over the R1. Live in Colorado and I rip the canyons on my SV 1 or 2 times a week. So the seat. It looks great. The X model looks great, I have the same color. Black and white, but this seat is the most uncomfortable seat I have ever sat on. One hour kills you, but you do get used to it. Now I ride 150 to 175 miles per ride. But I most definitely plan on bringing my seat in to be redone. We have a great company in Denver does them. So soon I will have gell under that brown cover. Can't wait.

[@randallf8675]

Ducati for me! Im biased of course cause I love mine

[@salsamancer]

Suzuki logic: aging naked bike + plastic cowl = retro cafe racer

[@nickhailrogers5544]

Its basically the new version of the gen 2 sv650s

[@Unlucky13_s]

I wish you would shout out the sv1000 more. Bike is crazy fast 💨

[@Mr450pro]

It’s such a beautiful bike, but man the ergonomics on it would kill my back

[@hugowinzer313]

loved the intro LMAO

[@ahmedmohamedelsayed7983]

Dude that intro was fucking awesome 😂😂😂

[@keithappel5021]

Who did the test ride on this bike it doesn’t sound like you excellent review by the way

[@SinnerSince1962]

Without clip-on risers, this bike is excruciating to ride for very long. Not sure what Suzuki was thinking. And that seat? Holy crap it is thin.

[@getheroutofthetruck]

Everything is a beginner bike to this guy.
