Great review, thank you 😊 I bought a new SV650 in 2017, and my wife bought a new Z650 at the same time. We have put tons of miles on both bikes including tours, and we are both of the same opinion that the SV is the better bike, despite being lower cost. We have had a few problems with the Z650, but the SV has not missed a beat, and is more fun to ride. Both are great bikes, but the SV is a friend for life!

My first bike was a 2004 SV650s well over a decade ago. I've owned 600's and 1000's since then and I still miss SV. It wasn't the fastest bike but it could keep up with faster bikes outside of high speed interstate runs. But you could actually row through most the gears unlike a 1000 where you can bang two gears and then have to back off because you are over 100mph. I still recommend it to anyone who wants to get into riding as a first bike.

The more I hear you talk about the SV650, the more I feel like I made the right decision in making it my first bike. Aside from some issues related to maintenance (or lack thereof done by previous owners) and general age-related issues, my 2001 SV650 has been an extremely rewarding experience as my first bike over the last year or so. Even the maintenance issues feel semi-rewarding because the bike is pretty easy to work on, so I get the experience from doing my own work to correct whatever needs it and keep that knowledge in my tool box, so to speak.

In 99 they offered a naked, the 650n and a half faired version, the 650s. The 'full faired' was simply an S with optional fairing lowers. You also missed out the sv650 mk2, or as it was known, the pointy. This had a newly designed frame and cosmetics aswell as updating to fuel injection. I owned a 99 650s way back in 2000. The better looking version to the naked ;P Was an absolutely incredible machine, I owned it for 7 years and over 150k miles. It was one of those rare bikes that was capable of anything yet able to grow with you as your skills improve. When you find yourself to be pushing the bike to its limits just splash out on a few brake and suspension upgrades and it will be more than capable of embarassing larger capacity bikes. It's good to see that the bike is still in production near on twenty years later. It is however a shame to see that Suzuki are still penny pinching with the basic suspension and same brakes as used way back in 99....

Strangely, I find that upright/naked set-ups are only comfortable for around town (under 100k/60m speeds), where you're on and off the bike a lot, or off-road where you need to be out of the seat. With a tall torso the wind buffeting is insane in temperatures under 15c/60f (which is the average temperature year round in New Zealand where I live). You need to lean down or back, or maybe get a large wind shield to deal with it (which create it's own problems). For a ride of an hour plus, it needs to be a light sport bike for control on a fast ride or winding road. Otherwise I enjoy jumping on a laid back cruiser/chopper for a comfortable relaxed multiple hour A to B style ride, where the bike largely breaks the wind for you. And just for the record; ADV and Tourer bikes are a bit of an unknown quantity for me, but I don't think I would like the weight and upright posture combined generally speaking. I ride bicycles as well, and I am the same with them, I don't like the "normal' upright style. I love going for a long cruise on my custom Giant chopper on a warm day and either of my light bmx or downhill bike for tricks and off road or short distance. I used to love a race bike set up for training and going fast too, but am getting a bit old for that lark.

I preferred the appearance of the 2 piece seat I’ve never ridden one though so no idea how practical the one piece version is

Can you please do a moto-vlog reviewing the CB650R

You could do a direct comparison between the SV and FZ. I think that'd be cool.

The boys over at Motorcyclist Magazine did that already, it's a great video. Honestly it changed my mind from the sv for the fz.

Looking forward to the detailed R3 review! I would love to win either honestly, since it will be my first motorcycle.

I started on a ninja 650, but the r3 and sv650 were my two second choices... Can't go wrong with either! Good luck with the giveaway bro!

It's weird this gets posted while I'm toying with the idea of finally getting one of these. Also, is this Austin?

I am a new rider and got a 2018 sv650a in black and red about two months ago, got 2k miles on it now. The throttle doesn't feel snatchy to me at all, but responsive. I find this bike very easy to ride smoothly at low speeds and it's really fun between 5 and 9k rpm. Power wheelies in first and easy clutch ups in second. I did add a click of preload on mine and lowered the gear shifter and rear brake lever when I got it.

Thanks. Did you know Korean Hyosung GT650 is almost similar to this bike and having the beautiful fairing version? It's quite popular especially in India, Malaysia, even US i think. But still lack of good reviews. I hape you can make review on this bike too. Thanks Yammie!

Clammy Boob dropped the ball on the "Ninja 650 doesn't come in a naked variant" line as z650 or ER-6n exist. I'd have also in included the NC700/750x, though adv body clad it runs on the same 120/70-17, 160/60-17 rubber, also the CB650F/R

As an sv650 veteran dont bother with a 180 rear its looks good other than that it fucks up the ride
@andygilchrist90154 жыл бұрын
The faired SV650 was always more beautiful than the naked, faster too and more desirable which you didn't show in the video.

Look up the Cagiva raptor 650 it’s an Italian bike with the SV650 motor but with Brembo’s and upside down forks and a better looking trellis frame 😀
