The SV650 is a good example that Torque is more important in day to day driving than the headline BHP figure.

Remember that higher torque equals more HP on lower RPM's. So basically it's always about the power and how it is delivered.

@OddBallPerformance 7 лет назад

I'm a fellow sasquatch (2m tall and broad shoulders) and I found the bars to be fine for the size of the bike. If the bars are too narrow, then they are easily changed. As far as the styling, it doesn't need to look "aggressive." It's the everyman, do everything bike. I find the MT styling to be ugly and cheap looking with all of that plastic. This is a true naked, and it can stay that way.

I ve owned a SV650S K1 for over 2 years now and it's good to know that Suzuki are continuing the model some 17 years on. Sure it was and always will be built to a budget but it only needs a few relatively cheap mods to make it a brilliant handling bike. I would say to many newbies out there start off your big bike career on a twin, u have to experience it first, seriously u don't need brakes lovely torquey throttle control in the twisties and braking in commute situations. Ride a SV650 for a few years then jump on a cbr600F and basically you've ridden the best in class for their price...then compare everything you ever ride to those two bikes and regret ever having let either of them go :(

@peterlamb4730 7 лет назад

Remember the price point of this machine.....apples for apples......and it's amazing how timeless the SV is. Don't fix what isn't broken. No need to re-invent the wheel. Those who don't like it don't deserve to own one IMHO.

@yajnaamakusa8786 7 лет назад

Nice review and astute observations. I rode my instructor's electronically restricted Bandit with similar narrow bars once, and that bike seems similar, except it would electronically limit the revs, which is frustrating if you like to use the whole rev range. If I was restricted to A2, I would take more note of the unrestricted version of the bike instead, because the restriction will automatically expire fairly quickly.

@WyreForestBiker 7 лет назад

Don't agree with you about the looks , I think the simple styling is bang on and will age well . The "kids toy" look of the MT07 is so over-stylised it looks ugly and ill balanced to me. Style is all about subtlety , and the MT has none whatsoever. In a few years the MT range will look horribly out of date. Its as though Yamaha has employed a team of 'fresh out of design school 19 year olds' and said " go for it - whatever you come up with gets put into production "

@1976gerbel 5 лет назад

@mistersudo4252 4 года назад

i have the gladius which in terms of the frame and engine is identical to this and it's brilliant. it's as capable as whoever is riding it, fuel economy is good and insurance is cheap, stick heated grips, a nice windscreen and a top box on it and you've got a great commuter that is fun when you take it on the country roads for a blast and perfectly capable on the motorway for travelling long distance. my only complaint is the brakes aren't great, i'm going to put braided lines and EBC HH pads on it to try and sort it out. and that engine i cannot say enough good things about it, doesn't matter where you are in the rev range just twist that throttle and it picks up speed just fine as long as you're under the ton, it doesn't do well over 100 but it's not that sort of bike it's a bike everyone should try at least once

There is a major 500€ discount on an allready low price, now at 6.395€ up until 30th of June 2018. I was wondering if it worths getting it. My concerns where practicality (i use a scooter as my daily commute) and how it is for larger ppl. I am only 6.1 but with more kg than your average joe. When you said about how good it would be if only a little more agressive, with stuff that makes ppl feel that this is more than your "general commuter" i was sold. Thats the bike i am looking for. I will also do a mod, i will add a moderate size top case!

@staninjapan07 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video. At six foot four inches, you probably have a......slightly different view of a bike like this than most of us do (no offense intended). I am a much shorter five foot seven, and I have this bike's older sister, the 2012 DL650 V-Strom AL3. I could not imagine having a better all-rounder than mine, but I was attracted to this when I last went to my dealer (Central Japan) as it is lower than my Strom (and mine is lowered 25mm lower than stock - as are most Stroms here in Japan). The comfort , though, that is what comes to mind when I consider changing the Strom for the SV. With the stock seat and screen in mid position, the Strom is comfy for longer motorway rides at about 70-80 mph (but here the legal limit on the motorway is 80kph [50mph] so much more than 70mph is asking for ban). So would you swap a 2012 Vstrom (kept in near new condition by the main dealer) for the new SV? Thanks for your opinion.

@spicy110 6 лет назад

+staninjapan07 I think it you love the strom keep it! I have ridden and reviewed the 650 and I loved it! It's a better all rounder with more comfort. Nothing wrong with the SV at all but I'm not sure it has much to offer over your bike other than being a bit more sporty

Have you tried RAM mounts? The one plus three from what I can gather is about the same size as an iPhone 6 and RAM have a great selection of mounts for with and without cases.

@jeffcarey7013 7 лет назад

That looks like a nice bike and they've cut the costs on the parts you'd upgrade to put your own stamp on it.

@branty36 7 лет назад

the SV650 seems good. im currently doing my A2 licence so this might be an option

@paulbudford 7 лет назад

I had a ride on the new one and really liked it. So light and great handling. Don't know what the restricted version is like but a great first bike

@Itzak15 7 лет назад

ive heard they just put a throttle stop on the restricted version. is probobly still a lot of fun but i prefer the mt 07 over it ))

@azwan2020 7 лет назад

@jamesthenakedsnake7480 7 лет назад

I feel parrot the styling might be for insurance purposes, I mean if you have a gsxr look alike I imagine insurance would rise, due to a higher desirability from thifes etc, and being a commuter bike (and as stated a brilliant first big bike) that they thought the younger audience would be more likely to buy this bike (insurance being as expensive as it is and all). Just my opinion, but I feel it makes at least a little sense

@2002RM 7 лет назад

It's so disappointing. I completely agree with your view that they've dressed up a really good bike as normal, with the poor quality in the small detail and the cheap parts. The reality is that you can make so much more of the bike by replacing all the cheap or poor parts for better bits. Even then, you'll spend far less money than buying the higher priced equivalent - especially if selling the original parts. I'm just sad the Suzuki didn't even think of adding a Factory or R type option.

@stratshredder 7 лет назад

you are right regarding the styling. it lacks the aggressive look sought aftèr by many especially younger riders. i like the engine characteristics but the styling......hurmmmm

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+stratshredder search suzuki SV650 spicy110 edition 😀 it can look great!!

@stratshredder 7 лет назад

yeah it looks the tits..especially the exhaust. What exhaust is that..it looks amazing and sounds cool.The stock exhaust is huge and could be the ugliest part on the bike. And the tail tidy is nice as well. If I ever gonna buy this, I'd certainly go for the colour scheme...good job!

Bigger fan of vtwins than parallel.. I dont understand the hype over the mt07, even more so after riding one..

@NickKingThe1st 7 лет назад

it's a rather boring bike to be honest, seems wallowy as well

@johna6968 7 лет назад

Nicholas King Within 20 minutes I'd lost interest in the MT

@Crana 7 лет назад

Seems to be common for the MT range, Yamaha cheaped out on the suspension

@oHeihei 7 лет назад

I completely disagree. I found the SV to be quite boring especially in its styling. However I found the FZ to be just better all around (more fun, aggressive, sounds nicer, and looks better). I actually bought an FZ07 over the SV650. It's weird how people are torn between these two bikes. Either they love the FZ and prefer it greatly or it's the complete opposite, they hate it and are a die hard for the SV.

@haohyou12 6 лет назад

Its because the mt torque character is exciting compared to the sv, which is more bland. The sv gets lost in the crowd with mediocre looks and engine character

I wonder how many extra kilos that exhaust system is...

@ewooll 7 лет назад

Yoshimura can is advertised as 2lbs lighter.

Hagz lol that thing is massive

@exothermal.sprocket 7 лет назад

Get an Arrow header system and drop a lot more.

@yonniboy1 6 лет назад

The end can alone weighs just under 10 lbs, so the Scorpion serket for example trims 6lb of weight off straight away.

@DmitrySerbin 7 лет назад

They should start producing F version like others do!

@midibudu 7 лет назад

so sad that un the US people only see 300, 600 supersports and 1000 supersports, when you can start safe with one of these, but boy is not an r6, love my 650s 2001 so far

@steviedee71 7 лет назад

Don't get me wrong I'm sure the SV650 great bike but the FZ-07 so dope hottest bike on the market right now for sure !

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+Steviedee 73 it is a great bike but for that reason of being very common the Sv gains some cool factor. Also you have to see the Spicy110 edition, it has the changes I wanted and man is a improved.

@steviedee71 7 лет назад

spicy110 no I haven't seen it I will look it up though thanks

@dmitrygrey 7 лет назад

@brianpacheco1927 7 лет назад

Good first bike for a 6'3 dude like me?

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+Brian Pacheco I'm 6'4 and I was OK it is slightly small

@VersatBeats 4 года назад

What would be a better alternative?

@n300zx931 3 года назад

Fantastic beginner bikes, but for what they cost new, you can get into a slightly used gsx-s and bike in a different world. Only way to buy a SV-650 is in the used market.

@ImDeadSilence 7 лет назад

I imagine they are really good bikes, but its just got no style if you ask me. I think Suzuki need to address the styling of their bikes soon as they are being left behind by everyone else. Especially in the Supersport category.

@ScottUK 7 лет назад

I agree, line up a ZX10, R1, S1000RR and a GSXR 1000. They are just lagging behind everyone else

@bushpig6837 7 лет назад

Not sure if it was released in the UK but here they restyled the SV for a few years as a "Gladius" was an absolute minger of a bike. The original SV was nice, I like this one too but it felt a bit cheap when I saw one in the flesh.

@tttran1984 7 лет назад

completely agree. I think they have the worst styling when compared to their Japanese competition. Yamaha has the best design across the range imo.

@Hand3521 7 лет назад

Its really not hard to swap tails and put faring kits on them. My k7 has a mv agusta f4 tail and it looks fantastic. call it the MV650

I have 7 sv650s for part out on my page.

@Kwakboy 7 лет назад

The SV650 is a very good bike and always has been.... but it became old and boring at the same time because of how long it's on the market already. :) Almost sorry to say that the MT-07 will win on almost every aspect. One couldn't wish to buy a better bike when shopping for a affordable al days usable bike. At least that's my opinion. Will love to hear and see what you think about it when you get your hands on one! ;)
