  • Suzuki has brought back the SV650 name, but has it brought back the magic that made the original a cult classic? In this video, Motorcycle.com Features Editor Troy Siahaan, a former SV650 owner and racer himself, takes the new SV for a spin during the model's U.S. press launch to see if Suzuki hit the mark, or hit a dud.

    I want this bike so god damn badly. Its so good looking and such a good rider according to everybody thats ridden it. Looks muuuuch better than the FZ07 in my opinion

    Glendora Ridge Road! I have an FZ07 and I want to ride the new SV650! I think it will be better in some ways: stiffer suspension, longer wheelbase, ABS option, v-twin will rev nicer, metal tank, etc.

    Wow it looks great! good HP, good price, another FZ07 value machine! FZ07 this year looks super nice too and a little bit more you get a FZ09, very cool machine, the new Katana (kinda, sorta)

    Going to pray to the Motorcycle Gods that the insurance for the SVs doesn't skyrocket in Canada anytime for the next while. Probably going to be picking this up as my next bike now that I've gotten into riding. Holy moly it just offers so much it's bonkers, and at the price point it is I think it's nuts to pass it up. Think it'll fit a featherweight skeleton of a 6'2" guy alright?
    Excited to see the comparison between this and the other class competitors. The insurance on FZ-07s where I live writes that bike off for me unfortunately, but I'm seriously looking forward to it nonetheless.

  • @turbo311
    @turbo311 7 років тому +2

    Also not a 1-piece exhaust like the FZ-07 so you can do a slip-on!

  • @FrankCombatful

    How do you compare the SV 650 vs Z 650 in general , which one is more aggressive ?

  • @Tiax776
    @Tiax776 Рік тому

    A great value bike. Change the silencer and put in a lithium battery to drop the weight and it's a great all-rounder.
    Just wish they would've made a SV650R with the front end from GSX-S750, for example and also the brakes and maybe some other small tweaks.

    @user-sw4go6vc5s 3 роки тому +1

    I'm taking bike lessons , got my test booked and as soon as I pass I'm buying one of these, was going to buy a ninja 650 but its sounds lame , the mt07 is too expensive to insure , the honda cb650 is boring , so I'm getting this, sounds great imo , looks nice , not as nice as the mt07 though looks wise .

  • @McCraezy

    will there be a faired or partially faired version? always liked the sv650s with the full fairing kit.

    • @TroySiahaan
      @TroySiahaan 8 років тому

      The Suzuki folks wouldn't tell me anything, but if history is any indicator then expect to see at least a partially faired version in a year or two.

    @Wabbit1961 7 років тому

    2007 weight spec is 379lbs. Same motor plus 50lbs means slower bike. Slower all round. There are two 2007 SV650's for sale in my area. One naked, one full fairing, both blue. Died on that year have fully adjustable front suspension. No-brainer.

  • @jboy2621

    produces 5 more hp than the 65.1hp on the fz07 for 500 more?! I will take that thank you Suzuki is back baby! They got a new gsxr 1000 that looks amazing, brought back the sv650 that my neighbor had and now they made a new manual car that might make it's way to the US?! Did they fire the last head engineer or something?! XD

    • @oHeihei
      @oHeihei 8 років тому +3

      FZ07 has 75hp

    • @MJT-DA
      @MJT-DA 8 років тому

      Thats bhp (break horse power) in other words at the crank not whp (wheel horse power). I never count the bhp because you don't feel it since the weight of the bike with the chain and wheel makes it lose 10%. The honda cbr650f makes 87hp but only 78 to the wheel. You see what I mean?

    • @oHeihei
      @oHeihei 8 років тому

      +Taijean Moodie I know that, but you can't take the SV650's bhp and compare it to another bikes whp. Gotta do whp to whp and bhp to bhp. They both have 75 bhp claimed but the sv650 falls short with 47 ft-lb. torque compared to the yammi's 50.

    • @MJT-DA
      @MJT-DA 8 років тому

      The sv650's bhp? Really? I did not know that lol oops. Although I'm confused that a parallel twin is making more torque than the sv650 v twin. I do know that Yamaha gave it the cross plane crank that the r1 and fz09 has but I did not realize it would make more torque.

    • @oHeihei
      @oHeihei 8 років тому

      +Taijean Moodie ya I'm really curious to see what the Sv650 does on the dyno and find out what it really makes. Hopefully it does more than the Fz to make up for the extra weight.

    I mean NO OFFENSE to any "naked-bike" riders or lovers out there,BUT C'MON Suzuki!!! I KNOW it's now a popular "fad",to scale-down a bike,and REMOVE any and all fairings off of it,to give it that "cafe-styel" racer-look. BUT JUST like with any OTHER "Fad".........it's EVENTUALLY going to come to an END!!! For pete-sake,ADD ALL the fairings BACK to this bike like they did in the 90's!!! Now only does it LOOK so much cooler that way,but today's composite-materials,it ALSO would not add all that much weight to it EITHER and help it with the aerodynamics as well!!! Just sayin........

    • @cxns155

      Fad? They had faired AND naked version of the SV in the 90s.

    • @menom7
      @menom7 8 років тому +1

      Yup,your 100% correct on that one too!!! They DID make naked-versions of those in the 90's,BUT........I RARELY SAW many of them back then!!! But yes,I know they DID appeal to riders back then (including ME!!!) All I'm saying here,is the past few years,it seems that our social-media has turned online-sites that "specialize" in turning bikes into "cafe-racers" ,popular again,and the bike-manufacturers are paying attention to that!!! Some LOVE naked-bikes (Me being ONE of them),others do not!?!? But if I wanna put my $$$ on a "stylish" looking sportbike,I WANNA SEE a fully-faired,aerodynamic machine that LOOKS FAST just sitting there!!! Just my opinion!!! :)
