SV650 - This Middleweight "Beginner" Bike is Not Bad At All

[@GeoffBushnell-pg9ms]

As an owner of a sv650 this is a lot of bike to be called a beginner bike.A real lovely bike plenty of grunt,and a great top end speed .

[@roxxxstarmania7670]

I started on an sv650, if you respect what you got, you tend to be more cautious until you get used to it. With the low rpm assist and beginner friendly seat hight I found myself loving the bike and having a lot of fun with it.

[@MenderSlen579]

those big roads are a dream.unlike here in australia.

[@garyk8285]

You ever ridden the Honda CB400SF? I wonder if the SV650 is a noticeable power upgrade from that bike. I have a CB400SF and coming off licence restrictions, just want a bike with a little bit more power, and less revving at highway speed limits @ 110kph over here. The CB650R seems more refined and powerful, but they don't offer the full powered version in Australia, just the restricted version. Whereas the SV650 I can get full powered version here, and it has nice grunt and noise from it's VTwin.

[@johanorozcoruiz7813]

Big improvement, you will notice a big difference between a CB and a SV, the CB650R is powerful at high revs, the SV power delivery is between low and mid RPMs, it depends of your requirements, both bikes can go pretty fast, 110 KPH is easy for a SV, I would recommend this bike, 2 years with it and still in love, I have enough power from my perspective

[@TrustyZ900]

Hello Hitman. Your SV sounds excellent. What exhaust are you running? Slipon or full system?

[@Hitman4President]

Hey buddy, it is only a slip on sc project shorty exhaust.

[@TrustyZ900]

@@Hitman4President Thanks, I'll look into it. Ride safe.

Padu moto,paling laju bawak sv650 pun 160km,tu pun mcm da nk terbang kene tolak angin

[@popdatclutch3010]

Anybody watching this the cb650 is a bad ass bike. Sounds amazing and handles great.

[@JohnnieV]

I’d love to whip around on the mt 15. Seems like the perfect beginner bike that someone could have a year or two fun with.

[@Lion_asua]

Ehi Man, I enjoyed this awesome video and was planning to buy this bike. I'm new in this world, I'm a bit scared for all the videos about accidents. Do you have any advice apart from being careful?

[@Hitman4President]

Hmm, careful is always at the top of the list but, besides that, i say get more riding hours. This is crucial because we need to condition our minds with the speed, traffic, etc. I see many ppl buy a bike and ride only few times a month, or even a year. By having more riding hours, our brain can be conditioned to the speed that we want to be riding. It will get u less likely to be in that "oh shit" moment because our brain can compute the traffic flow, speed, etc. Go ride daily and at the same time, gradually increases ur speed to where u are comfortable with. Once u feel uncomfortable, slow down.

[@Lion_asua]

@@Hitman4President thanks man, i'll try to have as many hours as possible on the bike

[@dancerehab1092]

​@@Lion_asuaHow has the experience been? Thinking of getting myself one, coming from a 1year break after crashing on a 200CC

[@MrElosobear]

just be good on anticipation. dont throttle up if there are blindspots.

[@stellauniversal]

When I was 10 years old I started on manual 50cc then 200cc then 500cc and so on…….this is a great bike but definitely not beginner bike 😂

[@بلالالعامري-ش4خ]

Awesome bike

[@ridzzy6969]

how do you withstand the wind without windshield bro? My SV aku bawak 160 km/h pun rasa penat lawan angin. U tunduk udang ke? haha

[@aluisious]

Oh no, the wind. How will he ever withstand the wind 😭 LOL you people fold like paper.

[@CulturedGrug90]

Do some resistance training in the gym. Not even trolling, it helps. Throw some neck work in their too. Stronger you are, easier it will be

[@dcfmkyn]

I just bought a 2024 sv650. How bad is the wind at high speeds without any windshield/screen? Do I really need to install a windshield/screen on my SV650?

[@chimpanzeeenjoyer4667]

i would like to know as well

[@papamoomoo3061]

Like on any other naked bike.....

[@henrik6727]

For me it was okay as long as you stay below 120 km/h.

[@dancerehab1092]

@dcfmkyn how's the sv so far? Thinking about getting one in a few months.

[@dcfmkyn]

@@dancerehab1092 I absolutely love it! The biggest motorcycle I’ve had was a Yamaha V star 1300. After owning a liter bike, I was a bit concerned with going down to a 650 cc engine. However, once I got the SV 650 I don’t miss the 1300. 650 cc is more than enough power for most peoples needs. The SV 650 has awesome power in the low to mid range, but can still get up to over 130 miles an hour if need be! Go ahead and get one you won’t regret it.

[@End7881]

Nice sounds !

[@dcfmkyn]

Did you really get your SV650 to go 207 mph?? Can it go that fast? What year is your bike? Just want to make sure I was looking at the right instrument cluster.

[@Hitman4President]

No no, my speedometer was running on kmh

[@Cedric_Skywaka]

3:48 what exhaust is that?

[@justhesolution]

what exhaust?

[@brandoncostner7437]

Sv650x?

[@bbinsanity2821]

Hi sir, does your sv comes with a quick shifter 5:10? What about your comment about the suspension being less desirable? Is too harsh or soft? Thanks

[@Hitman4President]

Yes, my Sv has been fitted with a stand alone shiftboss quickshifter. About the suspension, it is not too bad for normal city riding but if for a spirited riding, it needs a little bit of tuning because it is too soft for that purpose

[@bbinsanity2821]

@@Hitman4President thank you for sharing your modifications and insights. I find it too soft as well on spirited cornering. Cheers!

[@MrThebull911]

Hell yea ride 🔥💪🏻

[@SaifulSafree]

Syahduuu betul

[@Audfile]

It's just inexpensive, in no way would I hand an SV to a raw beginner with a clear conscience. Way way too much bike.

[@benjaminwashburn8473]

It’s not way to much bike. I started on an 01 gsxr 750 came from 1 summer of riding a 125cc Suzuki dirt bike. Respect the machine and you’ll be ok

[@Audfile]

@benjaminwashburn8473 think about the average meat heat who watches Chase on 2 wheels. You want that kid with an SV?

[@benjaminwashburn8473]

@@Audfile hey man I started on a much faster bike, im 20 years old I watch ghost rider and all those guys. I’m still alive so it’s possible to start on larger cc bikes it’s all depends on if you can respect the machine. If you can you’ll be ok if you can’t control yourself you probably don’t need to ride a bike on the road period 🙏🏼

[@Audfile]

@@benjaminwashburn8473 so did I. Would I *RECOMMEND IT*? Absolutely not. 250 all day.

[@benjaminwashburn8473]

@@Audfile yea 250 is nice to start on but it’s slow and boring after only a little while. I guess it depends on the type of riding style your looking for too. I always recommend a 600 to start on if the person understands they’ll be killed in a blink of an eye if they don’t humble themselves.

[@Johnnyreengo]

loud and slow haha, great bike for the turns though

[@Audfile]

That actually means it's fast.
