I own a 2020 SV650 with the blue frame and glossy black tank/tail fairing. Bought it with 2800 km (first owner) like 2 weeks ago. I am loving it! It's an amazing machine. It's my 4th bike so far, and I can't imagine it being sold any time soon!
Thank you guys for this masterpiece. Had many bikes and tried many others. Still in love with a 2005 model bought last year. It is fun and all the bike you need outside of a track. I have no doubt i will buy another one when my 2005 goes to the motorbike heaven.
So these are the guys I need to thank for giving me 18 years of pleasure, riding my SV? I was out on it earlier today giving it a good thrashing in the twisties and still loving it just as much as the day I bought it. Mines running sweet as a nut even after all that time. They're a great bike!
So happy the SV650's back. So damn happy. I just got into riding this season and I'm really excited to get one of these as my next bike a few years down the road once I've got some experience. What a beauty! The huge variety of features and superb quality Suzuki's incorporated into the bike draw me in like nothing else, and it certainly helps that it looks just so goddamn good in its black colour scheme. I really dig the low RPM assist too, and I can definitely see its merits even for more experienced riders. Super handy feature to have, and I'm absolutely astonished by this bike's price point all things considered. Wild they did all this and kept it so affordable at the same time. Excellent. I've got a lot to look forward to it seems.
I made my licence 1 month ago and after testing 8 different bikes, i found the SV 650 the perfect bike for me. Handling, seat height, suspension, instruments, manouverability, engine performance, everything is great about this bike and perfect for me (180cm). I want to buy this bike in spring ´17!
It's nice to see Suzuki has done such a great job with this bike. If I were in the market for a middleweight bike right now, the new SV650 would be my choice hands down.
Maybe a new 2017 Ninja 650 would interest you? www.motorbeam.com/2016/10/bikes/kawasaki-ninja-650/all-new-2017-kawasaki-ninja-650-unveiled-at-intermot-video/
With the current GSX-S series bikes, I don't foresee them making a new supernaked twin. Man I wish they would though! Punch out that Vstrom motor to about 1100cc and bake in a lot of performance. Slap it in a lightweight chassis with solid suspension and brakes, and some electronics, and voila.
I've only ridden scooters before and cannot wait to get my hands on a bike. I'm a beginner so I was looking at 125s and 300s but I don't want a bike I want to swap out after a couple years. I found the sv650. I compared this to competitors and this things walks the competition. great for daily riding (90%+ of riding) and will be fun no matter my experience level. I love agility in vehicles. And this things looks the best imo. The only question now is between the 2nd gen used and this new one which is so tempting.
I'm not convinced by Kohei's views about the seat, it really really needs to be more comfortable, doing so would add to the appeal of the bike with no loss, there's an analogy that springs to mind when I see what he says about his ideas about the hard seat.
That’s what the aftermarket is for. How many factory seats are comfortable for all day riding? Softer and more padded seats can have their own downsides. I like SeatConcepts proprietary foam!
I put a large airhawk cruiser R on my 2020 sv650, and it makes it 1,000 times more comfy. You slide around on it just a bit if you have it inflated too much. But you can just decrease air. Works great.
John Doe A good solution that I may have to try. There’s also sheepskin. I’m surprised there seems to be such a lack of aftermarket seats available for the 2017+ SV650.
Excellent design philosophy. Although i my opinion things like the low rpm rider assist and intake noise are not really necessary, but i guess the former is a good feature for beginners.
Fantastic product for the price. Great Job. I would advise two minor enhancements if possible for future models: 1. Shorten the exhaust, so it is similar to the MT07/XSR700 and CB650R, so that the rear wheel is more visible and a bit more tidy. It might also reduce some weight on the bike. 2. Offer a Front Headlight Cowl/Cover accessory that is the same shape as the SV650X. It is a much nicer cowl, and more classic looking.
1. No, just go buy an MT07 if you want that. You clearly didn't understand the "back to basics design" the 1999 SV650 didn't have an exhaust like MT07. And most of us like the look of it like it is. 2. Just buy the SV650X if you want a cowl? It's a naked bike for a reason. Most people don't prefer wind buffeting.
Someone please help me. I put R9000 synthetic oil in my 2020 sv650 at 900 miles. Now it ticks/knocks in neutral, then stops ticking when I pull the clutch in. Do I have to go back to R5000 conventional oil? Or will R7000 semi synthetic stop the ticking? What is this ticking from?
Lo que no me a acaba de gustar de las motos actuales, o mejor dicho, de sus diseños....es que son cortas en el largo, en comparación de las motos más antiguas. Parece que les falta algo en la parte trasera, cómo muy vacias.
Some countries have limits on what CC bike you can ride at what age/ experience level. Suzuki, like most other manufacturers is appealing to the market by offering a range of sport bikes in a range of sizes. My mate has a little 125cc bike and i would 100% take that in the city day to day compared to my (bigger) bike. It only weighs 120kg!! Plus you feel like rossi on it because you can use all it's potential on normal roads.
Congratulations to all Suzuki engineers, for creating such a masterpiece !
It's my new motorcycle, got one last week.
Well made and an engine with a great feeling.
Greetings from Chile
And this is why I bought my 2018 Sv650!
I own a 2020 SV650 with the blue frame and glossy black tank/tail fairing. Bought it with 2800 km (first owner) like 2 weeks ago.
I am loving it! It's an amazing machine. It's my 4th bike so far, and I can't imagine it being sold any time soon!
Thank you guys for this masterpiece. Had many bikes and tried many others. Still in love with a 2005 model bought last year. It is fun and all the bike you need outside of a track. I have no doubt i will buy another one when my 2005 goes to the motorbike heaven.
I love my '18 SV650! Such a great bike
Now I know why the seat is so hard! Love these engineering/development videos.
Among the best bikes ever made. Well done Suzuki!!

+Motorcycle Extremist tail light is a total failure. expecting more of the sv650s but only suzuki god knows whats gonna happen next.

im up for the next sv1000 or sv1299 o.o

The SV650 is literally a masterpiece of a bike by Suzuki. I would love to have one of these in my garage.
SV650Xを購入しました。素晴らしいエンジン、ネオレトロカフェのスタイル、プライス、どれをとっても最高です。とっても良いバイクを作ってくれてありがとうございます。

Totally agree, the seat is not very confortable on long rides... would've preferred more cushion instead of that "superior performance".
That’s what the aftermarket is for. How many factory seats are comfortable for all day riding? Softer and more padded seats can have their own downsides. I like SeatConcepts proprietary foam!

Im loving my 2017 sv650. Arrow pipe and renthal ultra lows fitted fun bike
now I know why the seat a bit hard.. 😂 but the SV are the best for my daily drive.. great masterpiece!
i like the vtwin 650 engine on my vstrom and done a bunch of reviews on this engine, SFR
Excellent design philosophy. Although i my opinion things like the low rpm rider assist and intake noise are not really necessary, but i guess the former is a good feature for beginners.
４分５７秒のところで笑った。
ますます欲しくなりました。
I love my SV650, but have the same with a 1000cc V-Twin would be perfect!
Fantastic product for the price. Great Job.

I'll buy this motorcycle. I haven't ride for 25 years

Most of us are not racers...but most of us want to ride at least a hundred miles without stopping....so PLEASE fix the seat!
how about stepping up the soft brake calipers to four ports setup?
you got a good engine but a squishy front brake, not a good combination
Suzuki went to four-piston front brake calipers for 2019 on the SV650.

make "voice from engineers" for GSX S125 please, bcs i dont understand why suzuki create that bike
