In this video we take a look at the retro cafe racer version called the SV650X. It was released in 2018 and added a number of styling changes. 2019 Suzuki SV650X.

Probably the best sv650x review on youtube hands down. It's got everything, ride shots, the motorcycles actual sound, everything! Great job!
Too kind. Thanks!
Best review I’ve seen yet on this motorcycle. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Such a good bike I bought one 🙋♂️👍. Long time rider and v twin fanboy
Such a great review. Very clear, calm and informative with no idiocy (breath of fresh air). Thanks for this - I've subbed.
Appreciate the comment. Glad you enjoyed the content! Thanks!
This is a very well made video. I think the format is great for bike reviews. The video work of the static bike, showing the function of the gages and switchgear is very good.
Thank you! Glad you could appreciate what we were trying to do with the video.
I came for the bike, stayed for the quality content in this video. Not only the bike review was spot on, the image and sound quality are better than professional standards. You guys just 'wowed' me. Well done! Keep up the good work, and hope to see more reviews from you. +1 sub.
Thank you! We really appreciate the kind and detailed response and sub! All the best.
Awesome review ! Your content is so good man
Yooo. Thanks! Appreciate it.
Best SV review. im finally sold to buying the SV.
Thank you! Tell Suzuki that and maybe they will send us more bikes to review! haha! Good luck with your buying decision!
Got a 2021 late last June. Now at 10,000 KM.
It is my 8th new bike in 42 years of riding (Including a new Harley in 1990)
Now at 61 years old, I am not getting any stronger and the arthritis is kicking in pretty good.
The difference of weight from my VFR1200F is huge!
I find the SV650X to be the perfect weight and power for what I do now, mostly riding within 250 KM from home.
I did a 1,850 KM trip in 3 days last years and I was happy to be home at the end :-)
In 4 years I retire and will travel more. This is why I keep my VFR1200F but most of my riding will be with the SV around here.
Would I buy it again? Hell YES!
Awesome thanks for sharing this!
How is the comfort on your wrists, back and neck on 100+km rides? Are those clip-ons uncomfortable?
Thank you and good luck!
@@pookiewookie7679 I am now at 42,000 KM . I got a few ride of 1,500 KM + in 2 or 3 days and it is not bad . You have to stop every 150 KM for a little break but the clip-on are not as low as a GSXR or a ZX . When I travel long distance , I take my GSXS1000 anyway 🙂.
You ride safe my friend .
Awesome review!! This will be my first bike!!🥳🥳🥳🏁🏁🏁
Thanks! Excited for you. They’re great bikes.
Lots of good information. Well done!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
Great Video. I have this exact 2019 SV650x. It’s 🔥! Perfect blend of naked and sport. At under 3.5 secs 0-60mph it makes for super fun but manageable. It’s my daily “escape” bike through town and some twistys and an occasional commuter that’s super easy to drive. The front has both preload adjustment and 4 caliper brakes on this 2019 SV650x model. Def get take pads as you will want to see what this naked bike can really do! Stay safe and keep ridin’💯👍🤙🏼
Awesome! They're such great all a rounders and the X adds just enough to make them standout. Happy riding!
Hey man, I'm looking to buy a 2017 sv650 or a r3. Nearest track is 4hours away and it is a medium sized kart track. So 90% of my riding will be on the city, that's why I'm looking for a sv650 which I love since I first saw it. What can you tell me about the cornering of this bike in the track? Both of you haha
Great video!! Im going to buy this bike after I graduate
Thanks. Awesome. I hope you enjoy it!
Nice review 👍
Thanks!
Well done vid, Good job and thank you.
Thanks!!! Glad you enjoyed.
My first mid cc ride, been loving it for a month, i even drove it for 500 km to another city, it wasnt as bad as i dreaded given the ergonomics, however it makes all my commutes fun
Awesome. Congrats on the new bike. Glad you’re enjoying it!
got mine about a month ago for $6999. it's my first "real" bike, nothing too unwieldy for a beginner, but man I can see myself riding it for a long time.
Awesome to hear! Congrats on the new purchase. Safe riding!
My English is not good but how do you explain your content video is very very good. I m enjoy and thank you.
We understand! Do you speak Japanese? Domo arigato gozaimasu !!!
Indonesian? Terima kasih !!!
Thank you!
I don't have an "X" but this year I bought a brand new 2018 SV with only 5miles on it. It was $5500 out the door. First street bike and I love it.
Awesome! Glad to hear you enjoy it!
You got a heck of a deal.
that´s my bike, mine is model 2018. 21.000 kilometers and 0 problems. i atatched the side bags shad sh23 and are perfect for this bike
Juanda awesome! Glad you’re enjoying it.
Thank you!!!
😀
Aye I peeped you were riding thru my campus lol Preciate the video tho man!
Awesome! You a 49er?
@@ridexdrive yessir class of ‘22
Cool! We’re based in Charlotte. Thanks for the comment.
Great video! Im thinking of buying a SV650X. How comfortable is it with those clip-ons on wrists, back and neck?
Great review. I've been meaning to get one new for a while. What do you think is a fair OTD price would be?
MSRP is going to be the go to price, plus taxes and fees for a current model year new one. If you can negotiate or find one cheaper, go for it! The point we were making in the video is that you can find brand new, never owned 2019 models for $2000 less in some markets. It’s the same bike sub color. Not to mention if you go for a nonX model, those get to be $3,000 cheaper and you’re still getting 95% of what you get with the X. Hope that at least helps with our thinking on pricing in this video. Either way and whatever you decide, you’ll get a great all-around bike. Thanks for the comment and view!
@@ridexdrive Thanks for the advice man. I definitely like the 2019 white/black color scheme more than the black 2020. Subscribed!
I was looking at a Harley street 750, Kawasaki Vulcan s 650, then entered the sv650 which right now is my top choice
Nice! It's a good choice. We have a review coming of something else you might want to consider. Stay tuned!
Anyone know what other updates are in new updated 2019/2020 model? I heard front brakes have been updated
Yeah. The brakes were updated to 4 pistons up front vs 2 pistons for 2019. They may have also adjusted the muffler for more lean angle. That’s about it that I know of. Others should certainly chime in if I missed something. Thanks for the comment!
@@ridexdrive thanks, nice review
I’m convinced. I’m selling my VFR and getting an SV lol
Haha. Awesome. Thanks for the comment!
hey how did you attach the phone holder?
Hey. Check @americanerrant on Instagram. That’s the owner. He may be able to give you some insight. Thanks for the comment!
i am sorry for the stupid question but what is the that white cup on the steering wheel?
Not a stupid question at all! I am guessing you are talking about the brake fluid reservoir on the right side.
@@ridexdrive yesss that was i asking thank you so so much!
@@JohnLock92 No problem!
What about reliability? Opinions from owners that have the bike
The basic platform has been around for quite a while. It’s pretty reliable. I owned a last generation SV and it was rock solid. Another, reason these are so popular. However, it’s also the reason why the SV is starting to show its age. Suzuki is using an engine and setup that’s been around for over 20 years. But they are very reliable bikes.
Anyone see that Sonic Blue Volvo V70 R at 11:55?
Yooo, great eye!
@@ridexdrive I'm as much a car nut as I am a bike guy. Great review!
@@Dunwelll right there with you! Thanks.
I'd like this with a higher mounted handle bars
At 1.85cm would be a good bike? 🙄
I imagine it would be ok. Best advice is to sit on one, preferably ride one to see how it feels to you.
what a waste of time.!!!!!!
david donne hahaha. Thanks for the comment.
Davey boy, you'll never get those few seconds back that took you to comment on here. 😂
