2022 Suzuki SV650 LAMS | Best Value First Motorbike

[@fuglbird]

I'm 66 and have toured Europe on the GT550 three cylinder two-stroke and the Moto Guzzi 850 T3 California back in the seventies and eighties. Yesterday I bought a 2017 SV650. The previous owner was 76 and had more motorcycle experience than me. Honestly I don't think it's a bike you grow out of. If you get bored of it just keep it until you get more experience.

That's a great bike. I'm a HD guy but love all motorcycles. I just came across your channel and I'm happy to support you and other fellow motovloggers. Keep up the great work out there, I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you. Ride safe, out there my great friend ...

[@captain_midlife]

Thanks brother

Amazing that these are still made in Japan but cost the same as a Thailand made Ninja 400. Absolutely best value bike (LAMS or otherwise) you can get.

Maiden Japan !

I am getting my bike serviced today at that very motorcycle shop. I got a lams SV650 as a loaner bike. Its fun and has a good few differences from my Yamaha R3. Low speed turns are definitely easier on a naked bike. It does make me more curious how the unrestricted version pulls, 75hp vs lams at 46hp. My bike makes 40hp for comparison. It's a great bike though and I can see why people recommend it. Good video, thanks!

Great bike and review m8 , i bought a 2020 sv same colour as in your review and love it . Theyve Plenty of power if not restricted . They will soon be even more a classic as suzuki are changing the engine on the sv.

[@ronaldthomas9396]

No Suzuki is not changing the SV650 engine. It will continue as is the GSX8S IS A SEPARATE MODEL!

[@atroutflycrazy8057]

@@ronaldthomas9396 i had heard they were doing away with v twin n switching to parallel twin as its cheaper to manufacture but i hope your right.

Where are the twisties?

My instructor rode that on my licence test.. looks gd 2:16 what building is that

Love this bike, I am a 50 years old total beginner and looking the SV or the honda cb500x for my first bike. You're thoughts about the SV for beginners!? Thanx and regards from far away Serbia 🇷🇸😎✌️

[@l-mac5105]

I would recommend the SV650. I purchased a brand new 2019 Honda CB500F for my first bike and upgraded less than a year later to a 2020 SV650. The SV is an all around better bike IMO. But if you’re also looking at an adventure bike since you mentioned the CB500X, I would recommend the V-Strom 650.

[@bpswank429]

Just picked up a 2020 sv650 last week from Coleman’s . Lovin it so far

[@korazon3spinado]

Wouldn't the power be better in the non lams version?

[@captain_midlife]

Of course

[@stephen8618]

LAMS?? Been riding for decades, no idea what this means.

[@captain_midlife]

Learner approved motorcycle. It’s only UK, AUS and NZ I think

[@captain_midlife]

They are low power versions of the same bike. It’s a power to weight rating

[@pauls8456]

Up to 650cc under 47hp 35kw (but no super light bikes allowed to keep power to weigh ratio for beginners) similar to A2 licence requirements in the UK and parts of Europe.

[@khosrowtaj]

70+ HP for sure

[@captain_midlife]

All the LAMS bikes are limited yeah.

[@khosrowtaj]

@@captain_midlife OMG :( thats not good, but anyway i enjoyed watching the legend SV650 ! ride safe and cheers.

[@captain_midlife]

That’s the law here in NZ

[@captain_midlife]

If your on a learner licence anyway

[@oneaverage9080]
