The bike nobody really knows about is the suzuki TL10000R
Love my TL1000R!
Me too.
Actual motorcycle enthusiasts know about the TL. Posers have no idea
Widowmaker
My buddy had one, I rode it a lot. In 2nd laying on the tank "Full tuck" that monster would pull wheelies just from opening the throttle. No clutch dumping needed.
Of course we know about it. The sv650s big brother. Hell of a bike...
Had an 03 sv1000s. Then moved on to a 03 cbr954rr. Years passed and now I have a 2003 Tl1000r. I love the tl1000r for it's rawness. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Nothing sounds like an R.
@@rm25088 Glad you love it. I went from a 500 Interceptor to 600s to 900RRs. I've finally settled on Honda VFRs. I have a 91 and an 05...
@@enlightenedidiot9552 I really love those vfrs. I like the 1995-1998 750s, or a 2002. I think someday I'll have one of the 750s parked next to my tl1000r.
@@enlightenedidiot9552 I had a 2007 VFR800. I wasn't a fan. It was heavy.
@@SinnerSince1962 I know, they are heavy. Mine has lost about 30lbs, and gained 10hp. Peace...
i actually prefer a twin over a inline 4. love the sound and the down low torque.
Get a V4, best of both worlds, revs and torque
@@dakota5041 more like a 3 cylinder
I have one and love the sound as well with my m4 exhaust but at the same time low rpms sound like a race quad lol
the chad v twin vs the virgin parallel twin lawnmower
I mean yeah v-twin torque is nice but any 1000cc inline 4 will cream all over a SV1000. The SV has less torque than 1000 CC inline 4’s. It’s just that it makes it all at the bottom end. If you had the same rider on a SV and any 1000cc sportbike at the drag strip the SV would lose every time
My Sv was a 2004 full fairing with a power commander, full Yosh RS exhaust, K&N airbox, gsxr 1000 inverted front forks and clip ons. It was a powerhouse and would run all day at 80mph at low rpms. What a great bike.
Unknown Gem...
I bought myself a new naked version SV1000 here in England for my 40th in 05 for £3999 brand new pre- registered with 8 miles, put an American M4 2into1 exhaust, and power commander with custom map and got 130bhp out of her, loved a 2rd gear wheelie that you could hook 3rd and land it at over 120... and could keep up with the R1s and Gsx1000s...
Ahhh memories
P.S. your 0-60
You only hit 7k in first, they rev to 11,500 🤣
High 2s achievable for sure... GodBless brother 🙏
Shouldn't have done wheelies. Sv's starve on oil when on an angle
Shifting at 8k in 1st & second? Come on bro, that 11,500rpm is hella fun
I own a 2008 SV650S and it supposed to be my first bike..I still have it after 4 years and 20k miles. They are so much fun and reliable just great bikes for the buck. Thanks for the review.
I have a Honda VFR1200F and a SV650.
I ride the Suzuki a way more than the big Honda.
Size don't really matter :-)
These bikes are so sick. I love the lower fairing. Wish the sv650 more comonly came with that fairing.
This has been my first love when I started to look at sports bike. But it never made it to my country. So good to see your video.
This was on my radar on my hunt for a bike. This, the superhawk, sv650s, fz1/6, and f4i. I ended up getting a vfr800. I bought a vfr because finding an sv1000 is incredibly hard to find! These are fantastic machines and I'd own one in a heartbeat!
Old, yet they look sooo good. This design was so ahead of it's time...still looks fresh today, after 16 years! I have one in blue, the smaller sv650s but fitted the bug spoiler of the sv1000s, looks just like this one. I love it. Sounds amazing with the Arrow exhaust :)
Bought that model when it came out new. Used it mostly to commute in the city (Houston) and it was great. I’m a big guy so I loved the down low torque. Great bike in its day.
U r big or fat?
I used to ride my GS650 back and forth from Lancaster to Chambersburg weekly and I could not help stopping at M & S Cycles while out there. Fell in love with the SV and the Bandit. I could never choose between them so I stuck with the good old GS650G!
Great vid. I ride a 2003 sv1000n, when I went to buy a 2004 sv650 the sales man said I’ll sell you a 1000 from last year for the same price. SOLD!!!
Man this makes me miss my 03 sv1000 naked. That v twin whine brings back memories.
I had a 08' 650. It was exhilarating when accelerating because of the savage engine tone and torque. It would grab gears like crazy and pull you. Quite the experience
These engines rev well and keep pulling to 10krpm. No point taking it to 11k red line as it drops off. 6 to 9 krmp is the sweet spot from memory. Tuned to 125hp at the wheel I cut 60,000 klm on mine. It was easy to service and never had a problem, still had the original battery when I sold it. Been on Phillip Island track twice ( suspension is one of its let downs ..... but only when pushed and easily rectified anyway). Great brakes, feel and power, still impressed years later. They're as much of a weapon as your ability allows.
I had one, the unfaired version. would have still had it if not for epilepsy but these are criminally underrated. Lots and lots of fun.
I purchased this bike today
Hey Sean will you ssap it for my MG.ZT ltd edition
good bike...had two...one street one track, the track bike I had gixxer 1000 front end with upside down forks, radial brakes etc
Suzuki uses this engine in the v strom 1000 also,good engine
Except the clutch basket........
Except for new cylinder heads and lower hp/torque numbers:((
V8 Berenguer sorted on the gen 3 model
@@v8berenguer372 there's a relatively cheap mod that tidies that up nicely - I got the Sharealike one and the bike is perfect (and very smooth) afterwards.
@@v8berenguer372 My dad had an 2003 V-Strom 1000 brand new and after 50,000 the clutch basket fell apart and Suzuki refused to admit it was their fault and said it was rider error, even though everyone was bitching about it. Then years later admitted it after it was too late
Had the 650 and the 1000 before I moved up the GSX-R.
Lovely little bike and a lot of fun 👍
Is the SV1000S significantly faster than the 650?
@@flatlineoptimism2600 yes
That sound makes me miss my Suzuki DL1000 Vstrom. Great engine & bike! Always wanted to ride a SV
Its all the sounds for me it got me sold the second it cranked over
The TL 1000 was the bigger, badder father of the SV but it got a bad reputation as a tank slapper.
I think if Suzuki would have put a traditional shock on the back instead of the rotary damper the TL1000 would probably still be racing RC-51s and Ducati twins.
I'm pretty sure the TL-1000 has the same engine but with bigger exhaust valves by like 3-4mm if I remember correctly but yes I'm sure they had a different ecu tune and maps but I had a TRE modification on my 06' sv1000s which stands for timing retard elimination. It tricks the ecu into thinking the bikes in 6th gear permanently which let's you use the best map in every gear!!! Its THEE best modification possible! Part costed me like .69 cents after tax and only took me not even an hour of labor! Nice bike and oh! by the way, you're welcome!
They would tank slap if you were a lighter rider. Mine would shake it's head a bit as the front came up in the lower gears but never tank slapped. I'm over 100kg though
I own a 97s that's still stock! Never had a tank slapper or any of the horror stories surrounding the TL! Most fun bike I've ever owned
@@LostinWales
Hahaha! Hell Yeah M8 that's Awesome!!!
Hi Shaun, really enjoy the videos and the sv is one of the most solid bikes out there. I have a 2019 SV650x and it great! What jacket is that by the way?
Got the naked version still looks futuristic and a great motor super reliable as well.
hows sitting position on this bike , it kinda looks like the same like on other ss bikes , im kinda tall and ive struggled with ss (gsxr and cbr) , im looking now more for FZ1 but i also love SV 1000, but never had any chance to sit on them or to test them.
When are you going test the 2nd gen Vmax. Love your channel. a lot of the big metric muscle bikes you test are not available in new Zealand but vmax's are. everything here is roughly 3 x the price you pay in the states.
Nice bike, must admit though I love the aprilia falco sl 1000.
This is the first sport style bike that I actually enjoyed the exhaust note. Nice growl.
I miss mine it was a reliable 2004 it had some good power maybe all you really need on the street. I know I took it up to 142 mph easily but most of the time I babied it. It had Heli bars and it would was good for anything and versatile plus it always looked awesome in blue. Yoshimura pipes give it a great sound.
What do you think about this being my first bike? Never been on one but I turkey believe it would only take 1-2 days to fully learn how to ride
Got the sv650s, absolutely love it. Cheap to run and a hoot to ride.
Sean, love the video but curious as to what brand of boots are those that you are wearing ?? Thx !
yes srkcycles! pretty please tell us, dont be a greed
It was my first bike, I won it in a bar contest, It got dropped off at the house in 2003, never ridden a bike before, I didn't know how to turn it on, I spent 3 months riding in the back roads till I was comfortable taking the test, kept it for 4 years and sold it, but I want it back
You goofed....
Love your videos. Great work. I actually own a 2007 SV1000 that has 3/4 exhaust and intake with custom tune. Down here at sea level it only puts 65 ft/lb and 109 hp to the rear tire. Wet weight as mine is, 450 lbs even.
Great bike, kind of rare now. I’d love one to go with my SV650.
I had a 2005 Sv1000s that i bought new added the full fairing along with exhaust programmer ect. Bike made 124hp at the wheel on the dyno. Fun bike
Lets hope spent time on the "front end" even just a GSXR swap be a a "life line" way before upping the power on the old wobble be my name TL1000
@Edward DePlae you are a liar.
@Edward DePlae "I have smoked three 600s" - translation: "I swear I beat them to second gear!"
"They blew me away on top end" - translation: "but then they reached second gear :'("
You put all that work - and ethanol - into a carby learner bike, congrats.
124bhp what drugs are you taking??? Very happy dyno ya muppet
I'm still waiting for the big dogs bike to be on the website?
I used to own a ‘99 SV650. Loved it. Great street bike. Very comfortable. Not a great highway bike, but not bad. I’d love to grab one of these SV1000s. The added weight would be beneficial.
Thanks for the Ned Flanders throw back!
I just got this bike, it has yoshimura pipes and sounds amazing, and does not intrude on the highway. Worth it!
I have a 2001 SV650 love it! Get compliments all the time. Has been very reliable.
Sold mine, regretted it
Remember the Honda GLI 500 you tested a while ago? Honda also made 500 and 650 turbo sport bikes using the same engines. I would love to get your opinion on one or both of these.
Where is the red rune ? Any update on that big boy
Exhaust and power cmdr really wakes the SV1000 up. Great value for reliability.
PowalinxTV yes a full exhaust, gearing, air box mod and a tune did these bikes good.
Dont forget the T.R.E. mod! Oh! Or did the power commander take care of that too!? Either way I really miss mine and much more regret selling it the most.....
We know about it. I always did, and still do, prefer the standard SV650.
Nice I have a 03 sv650s had it for 10 years now love it still
Great job on the memory with the GSX-F series, 1250 and 650.
650 is cheap, fast (enough) reliable fun... but the 1250 makes nearly 80lbs of torque near 3,500rpm. Truly nutty for an inline-4 that revs just fine. Incredible, the comfort they all provide. Everyone that rides my GSX650F says "Dude I could ride this for 24 hours". True or not, they all say it. Suzuki makes a comfortable street bike, reliable with surprising value.
Wasn't there a semi-sport bike that used the vs800 engine? Why don't you get into the higher RPM's on a V-Twin?
Sooo....how did it compare to a 600 super sport?...idk, seemed like you didn't really want to get it going? I own the sv650. Was hoping that you'd really ride this thing.
I miss my 97 tl1000s. These bikes a wheelie kings. The biggest improvement on the better fuel injection system on the SV. Atleast the my TLS was good for 170. Intake pipes and power commander. With partial airbox mod.
I've got a 650 right now and I'm thinking about going up to the 1000 when I get the chance.
Funny you mentioned both my first bikes, i had bandit 1200 as first bike and learner bike, then switched to my current sv 1000s. I wanted that Great sound and wanted to feel how it was to ride fuelinjected both are fun and quite different from each other, first thing i did with then though was a small gearing change. The bandit was a beast real wheelie machine if you wanted it to be but still gentle, sv 1000 a little twitchier due to the injection i guess faster to steer and lackning just that little in The absolute lowest revs, wich gearing solved. OH man i could go on and on, they are fun bikes.
I had one identical that I bought brand new in late 2003 or early 2004. Absolutely loved the bike and wish I still had it, wheelie monster
I had that exact bike, I won it in a Bar contest in 2004, its the bike I learned to ride on, amazing motorcycle
Love that you quote scripture at the beginning of the ride!
Someone did somthing bad today I dident really do anything about it I said it’s ok, iv been thinking about it all day and I thought about getting back at them but decided not to, then I play your video when I’m going to sleep and first thing you said in the beginning the lord will fight for you I was so happy so proud that I dident do anything god bless you keep making these good videos
I bought my SV1000SZ new in 2005... I wish I still had it,, never seen another bike I've looked the look of so much and with art race cans it sounded like being followed by an attack chopper! Miss her!
As an owner of one of these I gotta say you woulda got to 60 way faster if you revved it more. She definitely pulls hard pretty much all the way to redline, very revvy for a V twin!
Agree
Yeah 4 seconds is slow. I manage that with a decent launch on my 650s
Wonder if Suzuki has plans to ever update and bring it back...
Probably not. The 1000 didn't sell very well. The 650 on the other hand did.
Did a +2 on my rear sprocket on my sv1000s and it pulls so hard. 3sec 0-60 easy. Also love the sound of it!
Suzuki made this engine to compete with Ducati !
Your treating it like a custom V-twin !
I have a TL1000s, on the SV1000 Suzuki toned down the motor a bit.
But it still can rev as good as a four.
Keep up the good work !
Don't use the left clutch hand lever; the pause will slow you down. Learn to shift up only with your foot shift, like the racers. I only use the hand lever when down shifting during engine breaking or when I change gears at low RPMs cruising.
Solid bike. maybe get rid of the clip-ons and add risers with some hard bags, probably make a decent touring bike.
Its a SPORTS TOURER 2:40
Riding profile is between a sports bike and a tourer, with the upright bars.
cam you right a katana 600 sec gen please
I started off with my dads sv1000 as my learners bike. Then I bought a sv650 to hold onto. Now as a twist my friend is buying my sv650 and I can finally say I have a sv1000. Both bikes are amazing, reliable, comfortable, and cheap.
Love the sound of this motorcycle. So unique.
I own and ride a 2007 SV1000S two brothers racing exhaust, power commander and dyno tuned, changed out the sprockets and it's a beast.
I regret selling mine. Did clutch basket mod, blue connector mod, full yoshi setup, power comander, euro turn signals, gel seat, fender eliminater kit. It was a great bike but not that fast even with power comander but could still power wheelie in 2nd gear. Very reliable after the 2 mods
My 01 sv650sf had a jet kit and a plus 1 rear sprocket, and delkevic full header and pipes, would lift the front tire shifting into 3rd with full tuck on the tank, really fun using the torque against fast cars 5x the price
Blue connector mod? What do you mean?
@@davegutierrez3670 google it. You bypass a connector known to fail. Very easy. Took me 20 minutes. You have to remove the gas tank
im really upset you didnt rev it to redline... mine pulled HARD right up to limiter
Great video, they sound awesome with Yoshi's. Always been a fan of the 650 curvy's as well. As an interesting aside, Honda built the VTR1000F Superhawk/Firestorm to be the "roll-on king" of bikes. In top gear roll-on tests it would take the CBR1100xx Blackbird 100 meters to catch-up with it and the Fireblade nearly 200 meters to catch it.
Was about to say thats my bike!! but its a 1000. good review.. love the sv
Nice 😊👍 I hade 650 Vtwin. 2003 bran new, when they hit the shops in the UK, blue one , loved it , first big bike , yes , 1000 vtwin the big brother, man 🍺🙂
Im mad i missed this video, as many b&b videos as Ive seen over the years
Is it suitable for a new rider. I'm 6,3 so I do like the bigger bikes
A video about the tdm 850 would be nice
Bro, everyone knew about the SV1000s. It was the modern "widow maker" back then. I wanted one so bad back when I had the SV650s 15 years ago, Also even though its a V-twin you were short shifting on that 0-60. I would of smoked you on my old 650s launching that thing like that.
Ummm nope the tl1000 was the widow maker due to its rotary rear suspension, that got a bad reputation after a few road test journalists got spat off. The SV1000 had modified version of the TL1000 engine.
@@ToonsterToonster You are correct. But I did not mean it is literally the same bike. Back then the SV1000 was considered of the same lineage of the TL1000 due to its engine thus being the "modern" version. They were obviously different machines.
Common Sense yes! He was anywhere near that meat of the power.
Relax, killer. How long did you own your SV650S? This is someone on their first launch of a bike they've never ridden before.
“Would of” means absolutely nothing.
Forks are fully adjustable in all years versions. However the K5 and onwards are more difficult to service.
SV has balls everywhere. Fed my wheelie addiction for many years on one of these :)
Problem is doing wheelies on these will seize the engine.
thanks - i just bought one - love it
How much you selling this for
As an Englishman it was delightful to see your countryside. As for the bike, not comfortable on the highway ..... because of wind buffering or other? I can see you are not a heavyweight but how tall are you (you looked comfortable)? Mirrors...... any good or vibrating? This was a 2003, right? Do you have advice on specific years to look for? Good video. Thanks.
No...totally knew about it. Wanted the standard model before I wound up with a ZRX1100.
when i first saw this bike like 12. years ago in my head was the benz slr mclaren ,they even sound similar. watch this and find a good pov ride of the slr.
What do you think of the Honda rc 51 v twin bikes
One of the best sport bikes ever made, have one still and love it.
All be a bit head and over for "Gods moto-sickle shop" with out a workshop .
I always liked these.
I know about it.... I even had its poster in my room.... I always liked it's front .... Flat and Sharp....
And loves to wobble at the drop of a hat never mind a kick it down one and wack it open balls to the wall ride the wheels of it hard riding days .....zone and comfort not the words the this bike.
Seriously awesome, underrated bikes. Have had multiple SV650’s and an SV1000. Very rewarding to ride, smooth, beautifully balanced and handle surprisingly well. Would 10/10 buy more!!!
The engine and chassis is brilliant but brakes and suspension are crap. Buy the adaptor brackets to put the CBR900 nissin calipers on the front with sintered pads. Swap the fork internals for stiffer springs. A GSXR 600 rear shock drops straight in. Drop one tooth on the front sproket (or +3 on the back) if you have the S version. and replace the throttle tube with a 1/5 turn from a GSXR 600 as opposed to the 1/6 turn which comes as standard. There is also a bracket for a gsxr steering damper. Go to Traxxion Dynamics for parts For the 2003 version only there is an easy fix for the issue of slipping into neutral when going from 1st to 2nd gear. There is tiny part for this to be replaced in the clutch housing. All these mods are very cheap and they will totally transform the riding experience of this bike. Have had this bike for 14 years and will never let it go.
They’re not underrated, they’re just good beginner motorcycles. And that’s where the positives end
The minute you start developing your cornering techniques and you become more confident as a rider and you push the bike more, the budget aspect of these bikes become clear. The brakes and suspension are crap. It’s scary how bad the brakes are on my SV650’s, and I had them refreshed about a year and a half ago. It’s a good thing v-twins have a hell of a lot of engine braking to assist you in slowing down
I’ve also ridden an SV1000 as well and while the suspension is better than the 650s, it’s still budget, and won’t compete with anything in the 1000cc sportbike range from other manufacturers
Wow what's the odd of you test riding my next bike. My CBR was stolen 2 weeks back and my neighbor across the street offered me his 2004 sv1000s for a sweet deal, of course I jumped at it. He's now onto a 2007 Yamaha R1. Thanks Sean good stuff 👍
Hey man! Congrats on acquiring your SV1000!!! I'm not sure if you're interested in fitting any performance modifications or not but I can definitely lend my knowledge/opinions on what to do/not to do. Oh and dont buy a power commander for your SV1000. I can tell you how to achieve the same results for under 5 dollars and only 30 minutes labor! Lmk buddy, and if you're not interested, that's cool too man!!! Happy Riding man!!!
New all about it in the early 2000’s wanted that bike so bad.
Sharp looking. Literally. Like I can get a razor cut just sitting on it.
Owned one, only thing I bought brand new in my life, same color, had it for 7 years. At that time I had 2 choice for that price, ans SV 1000s or a VFR.. I choose the SV, it was sick looking at that time and still is today. Best bike for fun-torque style riding, men this thing was FUN. for the exception of the V twin vibration in the handles. I miss it a lot. And it was powerful... the torque was amazing.
I love mine, but have to agree, v twin vibration in the grips will make your hands go numb in 20 minutes.
How tall are you?
Only weighs a few pounds more then my 2001 gsxr 600 so it prolly pretty quick
I do love the look of this bike for sure
I needed those words of wisdom
I need help deciding! I’m split between an 06 Sv1000s with 9k miles for $3,500 OR an 08 Kawasaki zx6r with 3400 miles for $4,300. Might sound like a no brainer but I need some opinions.
I personally would go for the zx6r. That is a steal for $4,300 if it’s in good condition
TheHipNip ...such a good deal that it was sold in 4 days since it was posted. Ah The hunt for my next bike begins again
