Time to say goodbye to the Suzuki SV 650 - But what next? 

Well I thought I'd clicked on the 2 Wheeled Willies channel there..... "Love this bike, It's perfect..... Oh I'm selling it" 😂😂😂😂

Nice sunny vdeo for a sad goodbye although I suspect there were mixed emotions or you'd be keeping it. Best anti-stall I have ever experienced, all bike should have that. Superb engine with enough power and just about enough vibes to show it's got an engine down there. Very good fuel economy. The seat ! Your "walk around" shots amply show the slope from back to front that made it so uncomfortable for me as I was always sliding forward and crushing certain parts against the tank. Flattish seats on the Triumph Bonneville and the V7 Moto Guzzi suit me. I hate the modern seat profiles that hoik the pillion seat 90mm higher at the rear. When they say it's seat height is 810mm and then I find the pillion seat is 900 - well my old legs cannot get on those. I'm looking forward to seeing the replacement bike: something a little bigger with a flatter seat? Best regards.

Should have added some Eastenders DOOF DOOF's at the end with that cliffhanger.

That’s very iteresting so what bike could you be having , it’s difficult TAYM , a Norton , not sure you’ve got me I don’t have a clue but I’m excited for you 😊😊

Both you and English Biker Dan have recently sold your SV650’s which were bought new and owned for similar lengths of time. I think you have been more upfront regarding the shortcomings of the bike. I have owned one for nearly three years and while I am still enjoying the bike at the moment, am starting to wonder if my riding experience would be improved by having a bike with better suspension. Planning to test ride the Triumph Street Triple R and 24 model MT09 to compare. The SV650 was a great bike 0:16 to come back to biking after a long lay off, but I am starting to find it’s limits.

👍 but you didn't stop off at Swiss Farm butchers and get some marvellous sausages ..

I, probably among others, would like to hear about how you go about insuring 5 bikes as I have found insuring 2 bikes costs enough. I have heard of multi bike policies but would need to synchronise both insurance dates. Also wether the rear ending affected your policy. I await with bated breath as to what you will have next.

Sad to hear your parting ways with the SV TAYM, as you know I have an early 99 Curvy. I do wish people would stop calling SV's a good learner bike or a good girls bike, in my humble opinion they are a bloody good budget all rounder without unnecessary gadgetry to go wrong. I can't think of another bike described as a learners bike that has its own race series ?

I think 🤔 it's a model you've already owned and missed alot over the years,so I'm also guessing at a vstrom, but the older 650 model 😁

Bloody hell l thought that car just before Orwells was going to pull out on you. You are very naughty will we find out on Mondays mutter the new addition to your stable ? 😂👍

Nice little GT250 joining the channel 🤣Cheers TAYM👍. Sorry to see it go though

Oh, you little tease, Taym. Whatever have you got? Lots of luck and happiness on your new steed. Looking forward to see what's next to fulfill your adventures 😀

keeping us in suspenders , naughty !

Sad day! Hope you don't regret your decision.😬😬😬

Well , Looking at the "ears" , Its not a Giraffe....😂

So two things, I took a sharp intake of breath just before the end when I thought that white car or silver on looking again nearly pulled out on you ! Had that happen to me on Wednesday, we just sat looking at each other, I never said a word, he realised then he had messed up and sheepishly re started and then I carried on my merry way😊 As for you you tease how about a shaft drive V7 Guzzi ? Whatever it is enjoy 😊

That's sad but exciting. I was the same with the TRK. Well, I wonder 🤔 GSX 8R ??

Awwww TAYM left hanging in my very ill state how could you !!!😉and here I am without a bike and ill to boot salt and wounds come to mind surely not another Triumph or is it ? hmmm 🤔

You can't leave us hanging like that, it's cruelty. I'm going to report you to.....er........ Well I'll find someone. 👍

Tam I’ve got a SV650 that I use for commuting and it’s great, it’s my third. To be honest they’ve been brilliant. I’m thinking about one of those new CB650 with the clever clutch thingy, but only because I’m bored of buying SV’s😂

Morning Mr TAYM. Sad day, but happy day too. That bloody silver car 🤬. I am guessing the new one is a V-Strom 🤔 Probably wrong though 😂

Well this came as a surprise but not a shock after the accident . Spot on .. seat is very thin and the you can feel the budget nature of the suspension , especially at the front . Otherwise it's all the bike anyone would ever really need and must be in the top 3 best bikes of the past 30 years ( Street Triple would also be in there) Very naughty teasing us like that at the end !! GSX 8S or R would be obvious guess.😊

The new machine could be one of a number you have been impressed with recently. 🤔 Orwell’s a Suzuki dealer? So a wild guess at a v strom.

I am so surprised .The SV650 is one of the best bikes ever made! Have you been watching too much Solo Moto UK?🤣🤣😂😂 I would have guessed another middleweight and that you were buying a Trident next, but you are not at the right dealer for that. Is it a Kawasaki Z650???

Hi TAYM, The SV is a great MC with an excellent engine, I also PXD mine after 16 months from new with only 1,400 miles on the clock. The SV is classed as a street bike and the riding leg position is not ideal for longer trips, hence my PX for a 2024 Honda NC750X manual.

Gorgeous bike the SV650. Superb engine, the likes of which we're unlikely to see again as manufacturers switch their R&D budgets to the bleak electric future 😢. What next TAYM 🤔. Something a little more classic maybe - or has Mrs TAYM agreed to a Rocket 3 GT 😈

I know you are at a Suzuki dealer...BUT I am putting my money on your new bike being a Triumph Speed Triple RR! That would up your naughtiness factor by 10!!

I once has a vstrom 650. 2006 year & I have to admit that twin motor was an absolute gem,very punchy with just enough torque for British roads. I did loads of tours on it fully loaded up and the economy was also very good with 200mile tank range. Sadly it’s taken Suzuki a wee bit too long to replace the 650 motor to the 800 parallel twin,but it’s finally happened so I’m guessing you’ve got one of the New Vstrom 800’s

Now you have sold it I can be truthful about my views on sv650.s . Great bikes 😂

You've ridden a lot of neat bikes past few months so it's difficult to guess what's next...but my money is on a Suzuki V Strom 800!

so the R.E., Triumph and whatever else you have are better than this one, then. I've only ever owned one bike at a time because I only ride on streets and whatever bike I had served that purpose. p.s.: funny, you don't sound 6'2".

That was a naughty cliffhanger! 😂 Goodbye faithful steed SV 650. ❤️

Now that ending was just a little unfair I thought………….. . Leaving us all in suspenders like that 😂

Without watching the full video, I will not guess what will be next.. I have my favorites, you have yours TAYM .. I know you are very big on the Gold Star .. And so many others too 😄 .. You like everything from the HD Ultra, to a Vespa scooters... p.s. Damn you TAYM /at the end/

RE Bobber is my guess

Its a shame Taym, but you’ve been quite plain in the main about your claim, so its time to aim for a new motor train, yes, I know my rhyme is lame 😂😂😂! Can’t wait to see your new frame…. 🙃

Prob the new Himi ?

How could you leave us like that Taym, What a shame, I would get a thicker seat !, Hope you go for a Guzzi V85tt ?, That would be my choice, Can't see me getting rid of my Vincent Twin, Had it for 59 years !, Good Luck, Bill.

yeah,you are a tease,looking foward to see whats next.

Ah TAYM, one of the best bikes ever made. Suffering from sun stroke maybe 😂

Ahhhh you tease🤣🤣🤣🤣 Looking forward to the new baby!

What will it be? I recon a v strom 800RE,what a cliff hanger.

Mine had to go after a year, too. Mine was lost during the disagreement with a minivan about occupying the same area at the same time. *sigh*

Farewell Suzuki SV650 it has been a brilliant bike for you but I am excited to see the replacement. As it's Orwell's I'm guessing maybe Suzuki gsx8s or maybe z650rs lol

That car in front of you on the first section of the video , likes to ride in the other lane a lot. Wow! Hope that was not your ride home. I am also confused with the dotted white line in the middle, it's even dotted to pass in turns and there is no line on the side of the road to tell me if this is a two lane road in one direction or one lane in each direction. Anyways, glad you are happy with letting the baby Ducati go. 😊

You are in serious trouble my wife was not to pleased with the cliffhanger ending 😮

My guess is BSA or gsx8s. Wouldn’t be surprised if not a 350 RE but hope not. My daughter had a gladius with this engine bought with A2 and normal ecu from a fellow female rider. I rode it with both ecus and as an A2 was a marvellous bike and not slow in the slightest. Full power is fast enough for anyone’s ability. When you see them racing the sv class you will know what I mean. That v twin engine is reliable and super torque or revs -both. Your evaluation is bang on😊

"Hell Fire" ! 😅.

Looking at the corner of that mirror, I’m going to guess the gsx8s or r. Can’t wait to see what it is!

Hey up TAYM, a real teaser this one .....😊

That's one helluva cliffhanger 😱 Forget, 'Will flash Gordon get out of that rocket ship in time' What bike will TAYM come home on!!!🤔

😢😢😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😅😅

Well it sounded like you should keep it , you must be o ver the moon with whatever it is your buying next .Thanks TAYM

Goodbye old friend, time for a new experience in this short life!!👍😎❤️

Whatever your choice we will all enjoy the new ride along with you. We don't subscribe for the bike type, but for the shared experience and good company..... Unless you got the 2024 M1000RR.😉

Surely it’s either a KTM or a Rocket 😉

Clever use of A.I.Taym making the front of the BMW dealership look like Orwell's.😂 Look forward to you introducing us to the new GS you've always really wanted.😂

Lovely bike the SV and I would like one if I had the room. Funny you saying about how it looks like a baby Ducati. I am sure it would give the Monster a run for it's money. Yes, you are a tease Taym making us wait for the unveiling of the new bike. 😊👍🏍

It's always a sad ride when you know she's going 😢😢

Hahaa! Look at this! 👀 then pokes us in the eye ! 😅😅

Ive got a pretty good idea :) Bullet 350....the ultimate therapist....I took mine up to West Head lookout yesterday, dodged the rain, was magic, great sailing up there too, you'd love it

Such a tease Taym😂. Happy New bike day whatever it is 👍

Teasing us I see. Looking forward to seeing the new machine and how you're gonna describe that lovley new bike smell 👍🏼

Can't wait to see the new addition to the family. I've chewed all my fingernails in anticipation 😂

That’s done it, no sleep until the reveal now.

That's really cool and great video bro

A thickening plot...thanks TAYM.

Oh you absolute tease, making us wait to see what's replacing the SV650 😮😯😎🤔 I'm guessing although we're coming into summer, that it may be the all elusive winter bike you've been looking for for over a year now. You've given us a clue by trading at Orwell's, so we know it's not a triumph but is it a Suzuki or a KTM both have winter capable bikes? You tried both and liked both but then you also like just about every bike you try? I'll be back when I've had a look into my crystal ball 😏🔮😐

Exciting!! Looking forward to seeing the replacement!

Taym, the "Temptress"! Enjoy mate and don't keep us waiting too long. Have a great weekend. 👍

V storm 800 ?

Must be something in the air, I sold "Vic" the sportster yesterday. Will still have him for the DGR next Sunday then he is off to a new home. I'll let you guess what I've replaced him with, you're not the only tease lurking about 🤪

Triumph 400X 🤔

You're such a tease TAYM! 😀Always mixed emotions when a much loved bike has to go, that one of the great things about making videos is the virtual record of the joy, and on occasion disappointment or angst they brought us. Rarely the latter fortunately. Can't wait to see what is replacing the SV and the unfolding adventures to come! 😃👍

👍👍🏍

400 trumpet i reckon.

TAYM TAYM TAYM if you don’t get a Moto Guzzi V7 I’ll scream and scream and scream until I’m sick 😂😂 with that said I think you’ll be getting a Suzuki in blue 🤔 carry on that man Caio for now tat ta 👍🏻

I smell the new Triumph Scram 400 working it’s way into the TAYM garage. Let me get this straight, your insurance companies in England limit your annual mileage? Crazy

1😂

400X or BSA for you sir 👍
