Suzuki SV650 First Test by MotorcycleTV 

what a bloody good no BS review. no stupid music, no shouting, you have a new subscriber.

I don't know how many vids I wasted my time on before I found this one. You covered it all in a clear concise manor. Thank you and enjoy the day.

I just got my SV650 ABS today. This is a great motorcycle. Lots of fun.

Just watched this review for a second time and I can confirm it is the best SV650 one on RU-vid. I like your understated style. Understatement in the century of overstatement is to be valued. Shame I can't give you a 2nd 'like'.

Just came across the review and could not agree more. I've had many bikes but must say the 2017 SV650 is one of the best I have ever owned. Thanks for your review

Great review, you really captured the spirit of this lovely bike - those landscape and birdeye shots were just beautiful.

Great review! I love the first-person commentary during the ride, perfect feedback for what the bike is doing and how it feels. I've wanted one of these for years. When they first came out I was unfortunately recovering from an accident on an old GS850 - typical car-turned-left-in-front-of-me wreck. For various reasons I haven't ridden since, but once a rider always a rider. I have a feeling this would be a perfect bike to get back in the game with.

Great review i am getting my 2024 sv650 delivered this morning 27/06/2024cant wait to get out on it

Just got my 2019 ..new ..was in dealer for 5 years..change oils...new battery...good to go..yippee

Great use of the drone video!

Great review!

amazing video man

Really enjoyed watching this ride. Nice work.

Excellent review, thank you for the upload! *edit: Had to come back to give you more props for the finest SV review I have found on YT! I am hell bent on buying this beauty for the next riding season, your review just made my decision more firm :) Excellent info from you, covering all aspects of the bike. I wish you all the best and way more subs, you deserve it! *edit2: Placed a down payment, I'll be getting the bike by the start of April! WOOHOOOO! :D

i really like your review, slow riding with landscape ... my favorite bike. currently own honda CB1100, previously suzuki GS500F

Excelente video! Sera la próxima motocicleta que compre. Saludos.

Nice review. I subscribed! I think I might get this bike....such a great value.

Solid review.

Thanks, nice review! It's my first bike, I ordered one last monday :) Greetings from Germany

awesome review brotha

This is a very easy to watch review! Well done! Yeah this bike is not too far removed from my '06 Gen. 2 SV. I am hard pressed to find a better "bang for your buck" motorcycle anywhere......and the very fact that the engine, chassis, suspension and brakes remain almost identical to the original 1999 model speaks mountains for this machine!!

curves clear, good xplain -hard tocuh wth safe!

This is a very good review! I've tried the Gladius 650 and enjoyed it very much! I guess this is a improvement. :-)

great review don't listen to these "track day only " snobs. they've missed the point so completely my eyes bleed upon reading their sad misplaced contrivance. The fact that you can so easily pull the bike back in line mid turn when you've overshot. or the incredible forgiveness of the engine when you've missed a shift. The uncompromising stability of the chasis giving the rider sublime confidence. Not to mention the meager price point. these are the pillars the sv has always stood on. if it can be faulted at all it would be the front suspension, but that's easily fixed with progressive springs and re-valving

Good review. This or the Yamaha MT-07 or the Versys 650? Thanks...Where are you riding btw?

Mvrtvcom, Good video of the bike in action. What height/weight are you? Do you think this is a big enough bike for 6 foot 200 lb riders or better suited for shorter/lighter riders?

Great review 👍🏻👍🏻 new sub --

Great rev sir! Hows the ABS?

Really well produced video and good commentary. If you like that bike you should throw your leg over my 1986 Yamaha SRX600. What tires were on it? They look like BattlAx. Change to Pirelli Angel GT. Much better tire, better front feel and quicker turn in, and awesome mileage. I get 9000-11000 miles on a set and that's on a heavy 2006 Interceptor. First thing I do when the front has no adjustment is replace the springs with Progressive or Race Tec, Race Tec emmulators, and preload adjustable fork caps. One gripe... This bike is like 40lbs heavier than say a 2007 which weighs in at 379lbs I believe. I blame the heavier frame and exhaust system (including catalyst) mostly, but to me that doesn't account for 40lbs. I think the old weight given was a dry weight.

The road is beautiful. I want to ride there.

Where did you shoot this great video?

Great review - Thanks!

hows the power ratio of this compared to the 390 duke? i rode that the other week and found it to be alot more punchy than i imagined it would be.

these are the ultimate bike for me, ive always wanted one. But if im honest, they NEED and aftermarket exhaust because the V twin sounds so beautiful in this. The steering is twitchy to because the front forks are very steep, this bike is designed for gymkhanna!

Where is this road? It's beautiful!

good review, ignore the haters. Ride safe Subscribing

i will get mine tomorrow! :D

How hight is the driver? I dont know if will be a good moto for a tall rider

Nice review..thought about this bike but went with a 2017 Ninja 650...

Put on an aftermarket pipe, get a lower bar, new tyres and rev the hell out of it.. - A happy SV650 2019 rider who has owned a R6 and GSXR750 before

They REALLY need to make an 'R' version. Something with the Gixxer forks/shock and/or nicer brakes.

does anyone know if suzuki plans on introducing an S model?

what makes you think its a great commuter bike??

Nice and very informative review!!! May i ask why the American back roads, or canyon roads have that black lines and stripes every 50 ft ?? Are those by construction purposedly there or just worn out by time ?????? Cheers

Really wish they made the seat flatter and higher like the older ones

Which color is your favorite? Personally, I think the red is the best.

Hello. Have you had a chance to compare shifting, handling, braking, fueling, etc against the FZ-07? Hard to get test rides locally.

VELOCIMETER ON KM/H OR MILES/H?

Seems like everyone that sits on this bike falls inlove

Hate the seats that push you forwards, would like a flat seat

is the model your riding restricted? thanks

...'where, exactly, are that road -please? ___

Great review thanks, I own a street triple for a year now which I like for its power and easy to ride and to commute with. However, the triple engine does vibrate between 4 and 6 thousand rpm which annoys me sometimes and the mirrors are an absolute pain, total waste of time. I can only see my fat elbows ! ! ! ! I had my front fork replaced after a couple of months on warranty and it looks that I will have to change it again, not impressed at all ! ! ! !I also bought a "comfy seat" because my partner was moaning about her soar bum when I take her for a ride and again a waste of money at £160 pounds from the dealership because I can't feel the difference ! ! ! ! The Triumph is a lot more money (£2,500 over the price of the Suzi in the UK) and I can't see why ! ! Just because it's more powerful ! ?I really like this bike, I read a lot of good reviews about this little gem ( I have to book a test ride) the only problem I have is with the size of the stock end can, although it sounds pretty good and I'm sure that there are some good after market ones on sale ! ! I am really really tempted to swap my bike with this beautiful little bike and at this price, I rest my case.

Where is that beautiful stretch of road at?

How does it compare to the fz07?

This looks like Glendora Mountain Road.

You met the google car xD

Nissin makes brakes. Nissan makes cars. ;)

"Auto Idle"? How sad is that?
