05 Suzuki SV650S...picked up today for a great deal. What do you think? I know there are a lot of motorcycle owners on the site, any SV owners?

 

maybe posting the bike next 2 the huge *** RAM is making this bike look smaller than it actually is...bc it looks like a lil girls bike.......NICE LOOKING.......but small

 

Beautiful bike, I love the SV. The black frame looks great with the blue. I was in my only motorcycle accident on a naked SV of the same color.

 

my friend had one of those a few years back. it sounds good with a vance and hines exhaust.

 

Thanks guys. Its actually slightly taller than 600cc sport bikes, it is just dwarfed by the Mega Cab on a 2500 chassis. I am 6'4" and it fits me perfectly. Oh and it actually was a girl's bike, lol. Original owner (female) sold it to a soldier who put 500 miles on it, before getting news of his deployment.

How bad was the accident ctzn?

 

I heard a sound clip today and it does sound BA

 

nice bike, be careful and enjoy

 

SVs are very nice bikes, great for around town. Cheap to insure too!

 

Nothing too bad, dislocated shoulder and a few bad scrapes and bruises, could have been a lot worse, it was a good learning experience.

Funny you mention your size, I am 6'3" and I love the more upright position of the SV for taller riders.

Enjoy it in good health!

 

Thanks guys. ^^^That doesn't sound too bad, but still no fun. I've had my fair share of dirt bike accidents, but haven't had the dreaded first lay down. I've had my motorcycle license 3 years, but haven't ridden much on the street until a few months ago.

 

i love the SV650s with the fairingless front single-round light

 

looks pretty nice!!! enjoy it but be safe on it. those things are dangerous!!!

 

nice bike man, i've never ridden the 650s but i have ridden the 1000s and it was a nice bike, very smooth. congrats

 

Thanks guys. I changed the oil yesterday and man was it dirty, also cleaned and oiled the chain which was in rough shape...I think it had been sitting up for a while.

 

Is that a single cylinder bike?

 

No its a 90 degree V-twin

 

Great around town wheelie bike.

 

looks like an anorexic wasp. as long as you like it though. be safe!

 

sweet bike

are you by chance on importatlanta?

 

Nice bike, I have the same year/color. Now you just need to sell me your fender eliminator kit!

Drive safe and watch for the many idiot drivers out there!
