I own a 2000 first gen SV650, I recommissioned it after it had been parked in the owners garden for three-years, ,it'll be 25 years old next year, it's still going strong 💪, they're an excellent bomb proof bike !
@@JamesSmith-vv3ys the cost. I mean I did that with my first bike, a Honda rebel 250. (Then I went and bought another one a year later bc I missed it) I’m actually making a video about that right now, upgrade or trade - it will include the cost analysis. Should be out next week.

I have not spent any money on repairs in 10 years pretty happy about that
Great video. Recently bought my first bike and that's kind of like the check list I went through before picking one.
Btw. I found Waldo at 10:47
What did you end up buying?

greetings from state college, great video
Thanks. My wife is a Penn Stater..
I believe this bike has too much HP for new riders who are young. Older and wiser, this is a good choice.
Maybe. It is pretty tame under 5k rpm. I have a rebel 250 which I learned to ride on.
Agreed my first car had less horsepower than this 650!
Sick video dude!
Thanks!!
Damn the video came out too late, already on my 3rd bike and it's a 2003 Suzuki SV650 lol
What is wrong with buying a small bike and up grade in a year or 2 ?
