It’s definitely a bike you grow into and not out of. I’ve had mine 6 years and never needed any repairs and it’s hard to find something else so well built. I’ve ridden 6-9 hours away on the highway in the summer, it’s fun and comfortable however it definitely doesn’t like wind over 10-15 mph.
After 40000Km (25000 miles) with that bike, I can assure you this is a fun, powerfull enough and pretty bike (Just change the sit because the stock one is terrible). Pushing the second gear is amazing ! Plus, this is a very simple bike (no eletronics except ABS) and very easy to maintain. PS : In France this kind of bike is used for beginers cause we can cut the power to 47.5 Hp wich is the maximum autorized for begginers in France, then you can go full power after 2 years.
I bought a new one in May. 2 Wheel Dynoworks tune, 10 extra HP, full M4 exhaust, Corbin saddle, tekspek pads, Vagabond fender eliminator, ceramic paint protection. Next up Ohlins and LEDs. She rides SO NICE. Agile AF, V Twin sound, revs fast like a 4. Perfect road bike.
I had an SV650SF and it was not a beginner bike. Much too powerful for that. I beginner bike would be a 50cc mini-moto, or maybe a 75cc bike. You do know that your clutch is slipping.
You are correct, ANYONE who recommends a 74hp motorcycle to a BEGINNER is guilty of treachery. Quite an evil thing to do. BTW, it is a STANDARD motorcycle. It is NOT a "SPORT BIKE". What motorcycles were before they got crazy. The SV was the precursor AND is the vanguard of a return to sanity in motorcycling.

Hhow do they reduce the bike's power?
@@jululugz2893 It depends but mostly it is an eletronic device that reduces the power of the engine modifying the injection system.

As an older rider, the tight knee and hip angle is not comfy for me. Still love it for a quick hour sprint though. I have a 2022 model.
Me encanta la sv
I do like the look of that bike more than other naked sport bikes. Don't know if i could get used to my feet being behind me.
You can. On this bike when you sit right, you are floating above the ground. Floating. Butt back, slightly forward, knees against the tank.
Suzuki made this bike to compete with the old Ducati Monster 620
hideous mirrors
