2005 Suzuki SV650 reviews

I still have the bike. Reading my original post makes me laugh. It's a great bike. I'm not sure why Suzuki stopped making them, I still get compliments. It runs perfectly! Show less

I am not trying to be a sales at Suzuki, and I am not! I've been working on bikes for many years and I mean it. Since 1975, I rode bikes and repaired bikes, most of my own for a long time. I have ridden multiple 2005 gsxr1000's and they're all nice, radical but nice. They all have their good and bad sides. I raced road racing in the very late 80's, going to track days still last year, but I am starting to feel the bad side of leaning too much forward. Not as much of my back, but my head and wrist. I started looking! BMW, Yamaha FZ1 (that is still my 2nd choice), and all kind a straight up riding bikes. TODAY, I KEEP SMILING!!! I think this is the best down to earth MOTORCYCLE in the world. So easy to handle, easy to start, easy to manuvere, in trafic and all. Show less

I was kinda nervous buying a bike and not knowing how to ride, but I am so glad that I decided to go with this one. I could go on about how great bikes are in general but I am sure you all know. However, I will leave you with this, I had no idea how to ride and really didn't know what to expect from it, but my first day on this bike I felt as if I had been riding for years. Lightweight so you can move it around easily, and a lot of room on the seat for when the boys get uncomfortable. It's a very basic bike compared to most, but very stylish, powerful, and respectable. It cruises easily and drop it 2 gears and your off. The bike made it very easy to learn on. Show less

Lightweight, wide flat bar with decent peg placement, rev happy torquey v-twin ... what's not to like? Very flickable!!! Midrange RPM's thru the twisties is where this bike will suprise many of the "big dogs" with all their top-end power. Suspension is a bit soft but can be remedied easily for pilots of lesser weight.
