On 17th October 2023, an electric car reversed in to the Suzuki SV650 whilst I was sat in traffic. A lot of the damage was cosmetic and it didnt take long for Orwell Motorcycles to get the bike checked, repaired and back on the road. However, my feelings to the SV are now somewhat conflicted. I know the bike is just as it was but I fear I have lost some confidence in it. Confidence in your bike is an important part of safe riding. In racing it is important and can alter the way you ride without you even knowing. On the road it is critical. The winter weather has so far made it difficult for me to test my nerve on it and I am currently unsure about my future with it.
Whilst pondering this psychological issue I also wonder what the future of the Suzuki SV650 is. This year it is 25years old. Will or can Suzuki keep making it? Will they produce a 25 year anniversary model ?
