I ride a new Z900 and Z900RS. Bought a '23 blue SV650. Been riding a long time. If your typical new rider doesn't like this bike, then he doesn't get what riding's all about, Handles great, sounds great, goes great. Is great. Most newbies worry about all the techno BS. It's mostly about the dude behind the handlebars and this little bike delivers. Glad I have one.
How fast were going (in mph) around 7:11 when you complained about handlebar vibration? I just bought one for commuting to work around 75 to 85 mph. Please let me know.
I picked up a 2022 SV650 today and fully agree with your throttle analysis. My first naked bike so wind force was a slight surprise. Easy handling with great power delivery makes it an commute through traffic ❤
Fuel efficiency is supreme, handling, engine, the throttle needs a steady smooth hand but despite being a bit jerky is of the best in the category, very smooth riding despite being a V, even smoother than the MT07 or other rivals.
2025 is the last year for sv650. I had gen 2 sv650 after I had kawi ninja 1000sx and now I just bought last year of brand new sv650 because its about pure motorcycling without electronics
Maybe you are new to SV..I can say this bike totally have much power than Z650 (actually my lil bro have one and I already tested it) and much smoother when speed above 160kmph..hate to say that z650 have so much vibrations ..

You’re a wise man, an SV650 is all us mere mortals need.

👍
I‘ve learned how to drive a motorbike on this🎉 And after I got my license I bought this one😅 I‘m super happy with it as a bloody beginner😊
it's a bike you can keep around for awhile

Mine comes the next Week 😊 the same Color.. i ordered an little Windscreen and a Crashbar
How do you like it?
Like any bike you never ridden before, after riding it everyday most riders know what gear their in without looking
Agree
I heard they won't be making them anymore that this is the ennd of that v-twin engine is that true?
Suzuki brought back for 2025 so i guess it's not true

@@XaeroIFBB where did you hear that it's the last year? I'm curious to know. Cause I would consider buying a 2025 if that's true.
@@VinCode17 my Dealer told me that.. but I am from EU so maybe only in EU they will stop produce.
@XaeroIFBB okay, thanks.
'Not that tall' when the average male in the US is around 5ft 9in? That's still above average height!

I wouldn't consider the SV650 as a bike for new riders: lack of experience controlling the snatchy throttle may end in an unpleasent highside.
The Z650 is way worse to the SV650, the SV650 engine makes it all up.
