5 Reasons Why The Suzuki SV650X Is The Best Motorcycle ever Made

[@LegendsGarage]

5 Things I HATE About My Suzuki SV650X kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5y0poNsrLF9ndE

[@matvill4405]

The retro aesthetics of the 3th generation SV was not of my taste, but my brother bought one and I started using it... A few days later I was in love with this bike. It has the perfect balance of enough power but absolutely manageable. It is perfect balanced, linear and precise power delivery, crazy predictable, reliable and all-encompassing. So easy on traffic and so fun on twisty roads and highways. I bought the bike from my brother and use it now almost every day. Love it!

[@Audfile]

This is the most beautiful bike ever made, this particular model. It looks so much better than any sportbike. Imo.

[@drewmorg.]

These were going for $5800 + tax & license brand new at dealerships in 2020 around here. Amazing value.

[@TopshelfJunior]

Exactly !!! That's when I got one too. A 2019 tho, brand new... Was $5500 ! Great bike. I've upgraded since but, the SV is still amazing. I miss that V-Twin sound for sure.

[@LegendsGarage]

I'm lucky I was able to buy mine in 2020, currently they are 7000EUR+ here in Belgium.

[@nightshiftrider819]

Really nicely made! Been riding my SV650X for just over a year and honestly I couldn't have asked for a better first big bike.

[@MasterAaron]

I rode the SV650 on my test. I was in love and will consider this for my next bike.

[@neil_nash]

Put almost 18,000 miles on mine in just under 2 years. You'll likely want more power over time but you can never get tired of its personality!

[@LegendsGarage]

Been riding mine for 2 years now and not bored of it yet!

[@mdjalo9527]

I own the non x version and just love it, I did the test ride on many bikes but end up choosing the sv. On the pictures maybe is not the most beautiful bike but face to face 😍😍

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Have to agree... but it is just so damn good. Can check mine. Drop by to see some videos.

[@rebeltvr6046]

Best bike ever. Agreed. A great rider can keep up in the turns with super sport bikes.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Very flickable. Have it. It is fun to ride and has the right power. Drop by to check it.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

For the money you cannot get more. I have it and I am a happy owner. Also have a lot of videos. Can check them. p.s. Here goes my like. Yours have a nice sound. That pipe is amazing.

ありがとうございます！ とても分かりやすかったです。 Thank you for your uploading ! It was easy to understand for me, even I am Japanese.

[@QuickRipzz]

I love you!!

[@kadomachisun]

@@QuickRipzz love you too !

[@LegendsGarage]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@MakizZz]

I bought the same bike. Good starter bike , nice sound and low fuel consumption. Till now i love it. The only part i dont like it its the weight. I think its a bit heavy and turning on low speed its quite difficult.

[@mdjalo9527]

Try to practice in a empty parking lot the slow riding. In 3 days you will feel the diference, if you can practice for 7 days or more you'll feel the bike much more lighter, u turns easier, etc. If you have a grass area you can even ask for help and lay down the bike and try to lift it.

[@IMisterNobody]

I have the same bike too, I personally dont find it heavy. But I still feel what your saying, I would advice to maybe try to use more counter weight. (You know where the bikes leans right, and your body is to the left). And maybe even use bit a rear brake.

[@gh0stf4cettv]

Nice camera work 🎥🔥

[@martind349]

I watch these motorcycle videos from all over the world and wonder if I'm not just here for the cute party favors

[@aliparandeh6973]

I had a 2018 SV650X, I traded with a 2018 Honda CB650F. I really missed my Suzuki! It was way more fun!

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

It is sad that the V2 is going out of production.

[@LegendsGarage]

Indeed, an icon in motorcycle history for sure.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@LegendsGarage Sure. I covered 28.000 km on it and it felt wonderful. :) Can check it.

[@lotharhafner9578]

Hi Ali, I traded my Honda NC750 in 2018 for a SV650X. Been riding up to 400km a day, it is really a fun riding it, but you should be in good shape.

[@rider1181]

love mine. great motorcycle, you covered it!

[@svaralen]

Will you recommend this beauty for total beginner ad a first bike!? Really love the simplicity, the look , the sound & long ride engine 💪👌✌️

[@TopshelfJunior]

Probably THEE best beginner / first bike. Especially since it has clutch / 1st gear assist. You will never stall it. It just does everything well solid and thorough... And won't kill you. Was my first bike purchase ever, I miss it. That V-Twin engine and sound was amazing. Bulletproof.

[@LegendsGarage]

Yes, absolutely! A great beginner to intermediate bike.

[@thibbo4089]

the only sad thing is u cant do any wheelies beacuase of the V-Twin, the front cylinder would die after a while due to the oil that would just go in the back of the second cylinder :(

[@LegendsGarage]

You can do wheelies but sadly you can't hold them for very long.

[@rigetskenderaj7014]

Does it have traction control?

[@asterix908]

the now discontinued Vitpilen 701 has adjustable front and back. the new 801 will have it too, just like most of Husky bikes.

[@paweljacenko8103]

I have been using sV650 2007 best economy and best city bike

[@dariuszklak012]

Reliability

[@Iveforgottenmyuserna]

Just had to do the maths because I'm not used to the unit you used - 4L per 100km is about 70mpg

[@bhok1971]

Put a 170/60 rear on it for better cornering

[@LukebeingLuke]

The bike came with a reason with a 160 rear tire. That was what suzuki thought was best. Secondly, a bigger tire will theoreticly worsen the cornernig because you need to overcome a wider tire when switching leaning from one side to the other side. Not making the front wider too can make the bike inbalanced to the rear tire. Yes, there is more tire, so flatter leans will be a bit easier to handle (when front and rear match up). 170 isnt the biggest of changes but it isnt one that will make the SV handle better!

[@bhok1971]

@@LukebeingLuke sure did on mine! 180 was terrible but the 5 inch rim needs a 170 imo. Oh well

[@LegendsGarage]

I have heard the wide rim does like a slightly bigger tire. Maybe once I wear out my Dunlops I'll consider switching.

[@pookiewookie7679]

Nice video! Are you still happy with the bike? I'm thinking of buying a new used. Just a bit worried about the clip-ons for longer rides. Is it very bad for the wrists , back and neck? Thank you!

[@LegendsGarage]

Yes I am still very happy with my purchase! As with all clip-on bikes some wrist strain is inevitable.

[@gtheofanopoulos]

I am about to buy one, so please please please make the video about the 5 things you hate about it. In my country they are now 7,5K euros (f'ing tax), when MT-07s are 7,9K euros. But the sv650x is so much more beatiful.

[@LegendsGarage]

Working on "5 things I hate about the SV650X" expect the video soon!

[@BagpipekilR]

Love my 2000 SVS! Handling is superb and the engine is dead reliable. I have rides bikes for years and nothing makes me grin like wringing out that v-twin engine and carving the backroads. Such a legendary bike... and a weapon in the right hands, proven even against 600 super sport bikes!!

[@TheSummer750]

Increase your onset of clutch chudder with that deceleration throttle "technique".

[@namelesssnitchy]

Why the suzuki sv650x instead of the normal Suzuki sv650? I personally think the normal sv650 looks better haha but that is of course personal preference. But I think it is also cheaper than the X right?

[@IMisterNobody]

You do get the clip on's with the X version :) and ABS

[@TopshelfJunior]

@@IMisterNobody The normal version has ABS also, just no clip-on bars or front cowl on the headlight. Both versions are great.

[@LegendsGarage]

You also get preload adjustable front and rear suspension on the X version. I personally also prefer the look of the X version. There was a 300 euro difference when I bought mine.

[@MrCarletto007]

HEllo Sir! Are you recomending this bkie for newbie? For a beginner biker ? :)

[@LegendsGarage]

Yes, it is a great beginner / intermediate bike!

[@rosuvlad4390]

Would you recommend sv650 for a beginner bike?

[@LegendsGarage]

Yes, it is a great beginner / intermediate bike!

[@KentRoads]

It went quiet for a while at beginning

[@DoctorZisIN]

4:12 "So here you have it, the top 5 things I love about my 2020 SV650X..." Except this video is not titled "5 top things I love about my SV650x", is it? And then you're going to talk about 5 things you hate? Which is it? Can you make it clear and keep consistent what your point is, if you even have one?

[@Hanswurst90000]

Sound test without db killer?

[@LegendsGarage]

The exhaust clip was without db killer.

[@MrEpicFail1934]

I have an sv650 and the only way your getting 4L per 100km is if you staying under 90 in 6th all the time.

[@LegendsGarage]

I personally really like the look of the X model and the X version also comes with the nice benefit of having preload adjustable front suspension while the normal SV doesn't. There was a 300 euro difference when I bought mine which for me personally was easy to justify.

[@Mazyli5]

Compered to you buddy this bike looks giant😅 that explains most of your arguments. For average european guy its too soft, and suspension is too basic. If you ride a bit more aggressively you shoud double that 4l/100km. And you would cause that L twin is a selling point.. Buy used and buy n650 pointy!

[@ukmitch86]

Are you related to Saffy Sprocket?!

[@LegendsGarage]

I have no clue who that is.

[@nasiremon648]

to be honest, the suspension is pretty shit. Just like the MT07

[@LegendsGarage]

At least it's not as horrible as the MT-07s front suspension :P At the end of the day, it's still a "budget" option. The preload adjustable front and rear suspension helps a lot tho!

[@wurf5336]

Bold claims for 70hp xD

Do u think is OK for someone at 1.82cm? 🙄

I assume so, yes. But I suggest going to a dealership and sitting on one to know for sure.

My fz09 destroys these things… bought it used for 3k USD

[@Animaldunia2016]

You are comparing totally different style motorcycles.

[@berube361]

Wow what a ridiculous comment lol. Fz-09 is in a totally different class compared to an sv650. Guess I can sit here and say my ktm superduke 1200R destroys your fz-09. See how that works? Lol.

[@nihonkokusai]

@@berube361 used 09s are in Germany around 5-6k with very low mileage id rather go 09 then this sv650. I guess he has a A2 license so he cant. I have a full license but, I love my A2 bike for commuting

[@robdb15]

First

[@Farhan_049]

What about the Triumph Trident 660?

[@TopshelfJunior]

Trident is a solid bike but, Triumph's have problems so to speak. They are not as bulletproof as the SV and the Trident has only been made since the past 2years. The SV650 engine and system has been going since 1999. They have it figured out and dialed in ! TANK !

[@Farhan_049]

@@TopshelfJunior I get that. It's Suzuki after all. You see, a KZbinr from my country uploaded a review of the Trident and called it "the closest thing to owning a superbike". It is quite cheap compared to other bikes of similar engine displacements. So, when I saw this, I started wondering how it'd compare to the Trident. Me personally? I'm gonna wait for the Ultraviolette F-77. I'm not a fan of loud engines, unless it's a Mustang!😂

[@LegendsGarage]

It wasn't available yet when I bought my SV650X. I've also haven't had the chance to test on yet sadly.

[@schprlock]

A piece of advice: Sell the X and buy the plain SV650. The clip-ons ruin the experience. The suspension is a bit crappy, though, contrary to what you say. My advice is don't make any youtube videos or make videos about something you know. Some people rely on youtube videos to make choices (their fault, really) and should not be getting opinions of people who don't know what they're talking about. Still, I liked your video so it averages out with the very deserved dislike I added to your other SV video you posted. You're welcome.

[@charlesbynum]

It never occurred to you that someone might buy an X because they wanted clip-ons and front preload adjustment? A piece of advice: Yours aren't the only opinions that matter. I've found that with practice I can easily distinguish those who know what they're talking about from those who are mostly pretense.
