I drive by a copper one every day at work and it's probably the best looking bike I've ever seen! Has anyone rode one or have any expierience?

 

buy it?



people love SV's. i think they even have there own class to race in

 

does the sv1000's have the same oil pick up problem as the 650's as far as wheelie's go?

 

sumone on here owns a 650..

ALOT of ppl love them.. and yes i do think they have there own class

 

yo my girls dad has an sv its fun as hell to ride but they dont run like a gsxr so if your buying one to ride w/ ur friends that have sport bikes a sv is not the best idea but if ur getting to just kick around it is an awesome bike

 

Personally...
I dont consider them anything near a "sport" bike.
I dont care too much for v-twins...Im not too fond of a motor that runs at a hotter temp than most inlines, produces less power than most inlines, and is generally heavier than most inlines.

I road a friend's SV1000....to me it road like a dog.
Slow as shit compaired to my inline, and I didnt really feel much of the "torque" that's supposed to be there.

I agree...it is in a different class, a slower one.

If you want a "fun", or easy to ride bike for communting and what not, the SV's are a great bike. But for the true sportbike experience, I wouldnt get an SV.

 

The SV are one of those bikes that has a strong cult following.

It's not a GSRX1000; and that's why Suzuki makes GSRXs.

 

I didn't expect it to be as fast I-4 liter bike. How would you compare it to other bikes?

 

the sv 1000 is such a torquy bike i rode one the other day at worked i loved it it handles like a 600 but has so much more torque than one i have them at my work for 6,199

 

Your not getting an SV1000, stay with a SV 650S. Even though it's not as fast as an inline it is still too much to start out with.
