I've owned 16 motorcycles in my life. My sv650 is the only one I regret getting rid of. Amazing bike. That low end torque, engine braking is perfect for back canyons. And for the commute to work. I got around 50 mpg doing 80 mph.
Stock gearing? Mine's geared down, but only two teeth in the rear and I get ~44 MPG. There's some city in there though.
@munchkin42 I get about 60mpg in my 2017
In a Biden economy 50 Mpg at 80 mph is a bargain!
Get a cb125f. 250mpg, now were talkin'.
great allround bike, inexpensive to operate offergin tonnes of fun
The SV650 is the Miata of motorcycles, entry level, kind of sporty, cheap, a ton of fun and people for some reason love to race them.
It's like a Ducati monster, just inexpensive and cheap to maintain. There is also its big brother the SV1000.
Not so cheap in my area 😒
and still quicker than 95 % of cars on the street
This was my first thought
You haven't lived until you've raced one that's been supercharged :-)
"The SV 650 is not a beginner bike."
-Mr. Regular
I want to like this 1000 times i kept saying that watching and just scrolled down to the comments
I know this is late, but could you elaborate more on why this is not a beginner bike? I'm a pure beginner, my first time going to riding a motorcycle. I am currently in the process of looking at "good" beginner bikes for the buck. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
@@khawmmung864 I've ridden atv's my whole life, so riding a motorcycle was a natural progression for me.
I've got a 2006 sv650s with the large sportbike fairings, and this thing honestly surprised me with the power.
I took it out for the first time and it has a very responsive throttle. It wants to GO. But the power is tame once you know how it responds to your inputs. I honestly get why Mr. Regular says what he does about the SV. In the hands of someone irresponsible or not cautious as a beginner, it will cause problems.
@@khawmmung864 I currently own a 2008 SV 650, but I started riding on an CBR600 like 10 years ago and stopped riding due to insurance issues.
The SV torque is way different and can get you in trouble as a new rider if not careful. As soon as you get on it there's torque and it puuuuls all the way through and that's why people like them on the track. You will get used to it after a while like with any bike BUT depending on your comfort zone it can be scary at first. A 250cc bike has no torque on the low end so it's just easier to not make mistakes basically if you panic or hit the throttle too hard. It's hard to explain in words but if you have never ever had a bike or have done rider training it can get you in trouble. Also a 250 is much lighter so sudden stops are easier to handle if you loose the balance. Feel free to reach out with more questions
@@khawmmung864 they’re great bikes to start on, but the bike itself is not built to be a beginner bike. It’s just a fun and light bike with a cool v-twin. I’ve been riding bikes for years and have one as a second bike for around town or a local canyon run.
I’ve always been one of the guys that says learn on whatever you wanna learn on. Part of motorcycles that attracts me is the freedom, and people telling you to learn on this or that doesn’t embody freedom to me. With that said, this is a very good bike to learn on if you’re a bit apprehensive. I still own mine just because of how fun it is in all around riding. I think if you fall in love with the seating position of this but want something faster, then the cb1000 or the MT10 is the next logical step. I’m waiting for my son to turn 16 so I can give him the sv650. Can’t wait to finally have someone to ride with on a consistent basis. The only reason to have a kid
Oh man. If my dad gave me a bike at 16 I wouldn't be here today. That's why I got a VW Cabriolet for my licensed birthday. I still crashed it trying to race.
@@RevengeAvenger I feel like riding is in our family. My dad had me on dirt bikes when I was 10 and he gave me a Ducati monster when I was 17 for the exact same reason I’m giving my son a bike. For one, he’s not new to knowing how to ride, and two, my wife is military so we move around a lot. I don’t have time to find riding buddies. I work 80+ hours a week so unless they’re already my friends, I’m cruising with strangers and then going home
I hear ya! I'm Army, my dad just knew I'd be dumb. I'm 40 now and still race anything I can get my hands on. I miss excitement. And I always loved it. I have a few shorts with the Lotus in my thumbnail. Dad knew best. And I'm guessing you do too. Good luck
Cheap, torquey engine, plenty of aftermarket parts, and if you're going to launch a bike into a wall on track might as well be an SV 650
And for track use you can snag a SV650 S which will have fairings and clip ons to make it more track friendly. A naked SV is still one of the best street bikes aorund.
Lol best comment ever
I nearly choked on my tea
@@mrvwbug4423 or you could get a Suzuki gsx600f / gsx650f both awesome beginner bikes they ain't as aggressive as a Suzuki gsxr600 a Honda cbr600rr if you like a naked sports bike late 70's 80's early 90's Suzuki gs650 Kawasaki kz650 Honda Cb750 awesome cheap fun sports bikes i stated on a 150cc chopper moved up to a Harley Davidson 900 Sportser and a 1200 25th anniversary Sportser then i rode a friends Honda cb750 my uncles Kawasaki kz750 and my brothers Suzuki gsxr750 and that's where my love for sports bikes started a friend owed me some money and knew i was looking for a bike similar to my brothers 99 gsxr750 and he had a 99 gsx600f he was getting rid of he gave me the bike and we called it even best deal i ever made i rode all over ended up moving didn't have room to bring my bike so i sold it now i have my trucks and a 50cc scooter 100cc big bore 150cc carb fun riding around town and back roads
I have a 2018 sv650.... was my first bike, and still have it.... love that thing more now than the day I bought it 🤘🏼🤩
My first bike. I loved it. Such a great balance of decent power, but nothing too mental for a beginner.
The SV 650 is a great bike, its the Golden Retriever of motorcycles....
That's a pretty good analogy😂👍
Haha, who doesn't love a Golden Retriever
I have a 2018. Had it for almost 2 years, 35k miles. I use it daily. Second bike, and I could see owning it forever. I love it. Great for commuting but also great on mountain roads for joy rides 👌 Good amount of power yet very easy to manage. Highly recommended.
I've owned my SV650 since 2007, it's an '05... it's the only bike I have kept, and will keep for as long as I can. I've bought and sold half a dozen bikes in 15yrs of riding but the SV has stayed with me. The motor is amazing and the most likeable feature. The brakes and suspension only show their weakness when pushed like a supersport... but That's solvable with select upgrades. There's good reason why these are raced so often... besides being cheap. These are not beginner bikes, That's not the intention. A smart newbie can do it, though.
Do they have lot of aftermarket parts
Just bought a 2017 SV650ABS left over at a great price. This is one amazing motorcycle.
I’ve been riding for over 15 years and these are just the best bike I’ve ridden. It’s perfect all around.
Thanks for the video. Been looking for a bike for an upgrade that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, but with torque on lower rev range and fun to ride. I have a Suzuki 250 and I love this bike as it is so nimble and easy to ride. But it's time for an upgrade. Great to see the word of God in all your videos. God be with you always and protect you wherever you ride bro.
Picked up a silver 2007 sv 650s 3 months ago; pair of tank grips go nicely, beautiful bike
Great review. I own two gen 2 sv-650s Both naked. Super fun bikes and the sound is just fantastic!!!
I have a 2007 650s, same color. It's my first bike and have been riding for a month. So far it's been great and real cheap to insure. 👍
I picked up a 00 sv650 a month ago for a smoking deal for my 'first' road bike and love it. IV put 400 miles on it already just running around town, and to work. Definitely a great bike to learn on and the power is fun. Mines been modded a little. And dynod 68 whp
It was so trippy watching this video as I had the EXACT same Maroon 2007 SV-650. And sounded the exact same. The POV made me feel like I was back on it. I truly regret selling it.
Just put money down on one of these today. Picking it up Friday. :)
I've never owned one, but I've always loved them.
Bought my first bike in March, '05 SV650. I've put about 3k miles on it so far and I freaking love it. I doubt I'll ever sell it.
Looking at buying my first bike as well...2003 SV 650 with 3,400 miles. Happy and safe riding man!
An SV650SF was (and is) my first bike. Couldn't have made a better choice. I honestly don't see myself ever selling this thing.
they sound amazing when you open em up. exhaust note reminds me of an fz07
The SV 650...one of the top 5 best motorcycles ever built!
MCTeck what's the top 5 for you?
I still ride my 250 ninja and my brother has the sv and I can be something intimidating for me but it is fun. Is the extra weight and CC easy to get used to? When I decide to upgrade. I've only ridden about 10k miles in the past year or so between my shadow 600 and en250.
No
My top 5. In no particular order
1. Suzuki SV650
2. Kawasaki Versys 650 (kinda partial here as I own one)
3. Ducati Multistrada 1200/1260S
4. KTM Super Duke 1290R
5. Yamaha MT-09/XSR900/Tracer 900
It's a great bike, but the top 5 of all time? Er, no.
I got my full license here in the UK 3 days ago and have a k6 SV650....I haven't driven the car since! Despite the crappy weather we've had I keep jumping on the bike for everything. Can't wait for the summer to get on some group rides! Ride safe everyone!
I bought an 03’ SV650 naked in 05’ for $3.5k. Sold it in 10’ for $3k. I loved it, I wish I had kept it. Also, mine wouldn’t go above 136-137 MPH on flat land, tucked, no wind lol. Best bike I ever owned, it sounded great to my ears, it was smooth, tons of torque for a 650cc and didn’t kill my back after 45 minutes like all my friends who were on GSXR750s and R6s, they all wanted to ride it when they could.
Glad its considered an entry level bike.
I heard one start up and drive off once and didnt know what it was
when I saw it go by I saw the S and new it was a suzuki of some kind
It looked and sounded great.
I'm kinda short and I found out later when I sat on one I could actually put my feet down
These bikes are awesome , once your experienced you can really push it to its max and it’s so much fun , they are quick but not scary , it’s not just a beginner bike
Thx for this review
I owned 2 sv650. 2004 and 2008. I still have the 08. Good enough power. Plenty of fun. Bullet proof. The 04 I put over 100,000 on it .08 I currently have 88,000. Low maintenance Solid little demon. Hail Sv.
U think its better than MT07?
The sv650 is good for what it is, a light bike with great torque.
One of the best bikes ever produced
I traded my 1st bike (2002 ninja 250) plus 500 for my 99 sv and I love it!!!!!
Just an incredible bike for the money.
The SV 650 is a fun bike to play around on
I loved mine they're so much fun.
New Sub, good Vid. I started on the FZ07, great bike. Thanks.
What was your experience like? I'm looking to get a bike within the next 6 months. Been looking at bikes like the mt07 and 650 bikes
@@chapterrv I loved the FZ07! Depends on how much money you have to spend and how many goodies you want. The street Triple is an amazing bike. I am currently looking at the KTM 790 Duke
why would you put heat protection wrap around the exhaust? i mean it looks pretty nice (thinking about doing it aswell) but actually you don't need it and all you get is rust, don't you? or do you like change the tape from time to time?
3:30 Wow, gotta be the first time I see someone actually stop at a stop sign in an american motovlog.
I'm getting one of those bikes.
I like the sound:) sounds like 8 cylinder:) thanks for the review:)
Just got the 2009 gladius sfv650! same engine awesome bike!
Those look absolutely awesome!
@@JSAFIXIT yes they do :)
Love the video. Needed a good review.
Everyone in the #drunkontacos crew LOVES the SV! I’ll be sharing this video on our Facebook page!
Amen brother!!!!!! Man that was awesome!! The bike was cool too!!
I have a Duke 390 and im looking to upgrade, is this a good choice?
I recommended the sv650 to my son as a 1st bike...great value ..a 2017 new old stock apprx $ 5800
The red one with black frame looks like a mini Ducati monster
Mark Baum, yes the new naked red SV is great looking, especially with the straight bars and white parallel stripes down the tank.
The only reason I’m hesitant to buy one as my second bike is because I’m pretty sure that I want an i4 and the sound from that but I haven’t decided between an sv or something like the fz6 or Katana 600
Whats a better choice as a first bike, the ninja 650 or the sv 650
Wheelies not so good for this bike. The position of the oil pump supposedly will starve the engine and hurt the motor. I try stay with 2 wheels on the pavement. Yes sometimes the wheel gets up if I hop on the throttle but let off on the gas a little. I love this bike! No wanna hurt it. Am a long time rider most of the bikes I have had were choppers, bobbers and cruisers. It is a blast to ride for this senior citizen!
I got the blue 07 in 08, I'm going to get a classic super sport maybe next year but the SV will definitely stay in the garage. I also have the same bar end mirrors. I'm using a Yoshimura pipe and turn signals.
im looking for me next bike. i just ridden a suzuki gs500e 94 for 10 years and this suzuki sv650 seems very cheap for the motor you get. But i am just looking for a fuel efficient bike for daily riding (i dont mind speed that much). i am looking for honda cbr500r though but this one is so expensive in comparison. will the jump from the sv650 to a cbr500r be dissappointing?
Really nice bike! I would have bought an SV650 if I wanted a naked bike... Instead, I bought a 2008 Suzuki GSX650F with 28k miles on it, in perfect condition. I'm now the second owner. I love the sound of the I-4 versus a twin... Just personal preference. Anyway, great review of an awesome bike 👍
Hi all, not sure where else to ask this except on a video about the bike... What's the best oil, brake fluid and chain lube for a '13 plate SV650s?
bought my first bike ever yesterday sv650s
and you make this video?
what a coincidence
How did it go?
Suzuki bandit, honda Cb400, kawasaki AR400, bmw90r, Guzzi 150, yamaha virago 400,
This is gonna be my first bike
I’m 6’1 175 lbs, would I be comfortable on one of these? I’m a new rider and I really like the look of these a lot
I can get the front wheel up on my 2017 SV650. Nice bike.
i got my first bike beginning this summer and as much as i love it i do wanna get something more sporty. i have a dr650 rn and im eyeballing the sv650 and the gsx650f XD
Picked up a 2020 sv. Love it👍
where can you see in which gear you're in?
Its either one of these or I get a 92 single cab 5speed Ranger, don’t know which one I want more
I see so many comments saying that this bike isn’t fast so it’s good for beginners , uh I’m just saying I have videos of my bike drag racing a literally 820 hp hellcat on slicks in the 1/8 mile , did not win but it’s very clear I was on his bumper the whole way . Raced a 600 hp Camaro, beat him . Raced a big turbo Honda that was 420-430hp , beat him while mis-shifting . none of those cars are beginner/first cars so why the hell would a sv650 be a beginner bike lol it was my first bike but I had already been riding all of my friends 600’s for half a year or so
I own this bike. This came with a delkevic exhaust and sounds so good. Everything he says is true. Excellent powerband and rides very quick. @srkcycles thanks for the awesome customer service and bike! I’ll be back for sure!
Question for ya. How long can you ride it until your back starts to hurt. Haven't ridden in a very long time and looking for something I can ride for a while in a day.
Josh Bennett the higher ha doe bars make it very comfortable. I’m 5’9 I feel like I lean forward a bit, but not far enough where I have butt or back pain. It’s the near perfect angle for comfortable riding and leaning into a turn. Everything he says is true about it.
I ride for 1-2 hours at longest, every 2 weeks or so. Longest ride I did was 3 hours. Stopped in the middle for 30 mins. I was sore in my legs from clenching, but still no back pain.
@@dw.discgolf thanks for the info man. Appreciate it. I'm also looking at an yzf r3. I want a Harley to settle with but man that's a ton of cash and my heart has always belonged to sports bikes. The Harley for the comfort but I don't know if I'll have as much fun on one as the sports bikes.
Josh Bennett you’re welcome! I weigh 250 by the way. I went with a 600cc+ because I felt it was the correct power for me. 250-300cc felt unsafe because when I cracked the throttle it didn’t take off fast enough. Just something to keep in mind!
Alright, I've never ridden a street purposed motorcycle, but I am considering getting into it. I'm quite a big boy @ 260lbs and I'm not looking for something quite as sporty as the sv650. I'm looking for cheap ( I completely understand that you get what you pay for), comfort, fuel efficiency, and reliability. I'm thinking some sort of cruiser would fit these conditions. If anybody could point me in some sort of direction, it'd be greatly appreciated! I also do a lot of 75mph highway driving, if that helps.
Honda Shadow Phantoms are excellent cruisers, very good looking motorcycle with good power while remaining super reliable. Also highly customizable and you can get them pretty cheap if you look around
Anything to look out for about to buy one with 41k miles?
Man it’s crazy seeing so many sv owners 😂 I’m staring at my 17’ sv650 as I’m typing this
Sharp looking bike
I have a 06 one I love mine!!
Where did u get the mirrors
I own one of these. Granted, it's restricted (EU laws, I'm not old enough to have a full license yet), but even with what, 48hp (something like that), this bike is super fun. It sounds great, it rides great, and it looks great too considering the design is from 2003. I love it so much that my dream bike right now is basically just an SV1000S.
Also want to point out that you should never wheelie these. Due to an oversight in its design, the oil pump can't suck up the oil when wheeleing, leading to oil starvation.
I really want a gsxr, I know it’s the bike I want but the only ones I can find are 20k miles I know not horrible but missing ignition but vin on title and bike match in his name obviously got stolen but now I can’t ever get off the bike run in the store for 20 min or it might be gone but the 650sv has title keys 10k miles timing chain tune etc with all paperwork so the choice is obvious, both are same price but at this point I’m going with the 650sv unless a cbr 600 or gsxr pops up for 3500 with clean title and low mileage with keys
What size of sproket you have on your sv650? because you can wheelie without using clutch.........
I have an 03 sv 650 . It goes up only with gas in first gear . I heard from lighter people that it goes up in second too . With original sprockets
I’m 6’4 looking for a bike is this tall person friendly?
Purchased a 2008 650SV with 4,000 miles. Clean title, no it’s not TMU , it really has 4,000 miles and I paid 2,050$. Brought it home today (absolutely love when people are hard up for cash and sell there bike for cheap! )
Yeah it fun until it happens to you
Nice.
I’m 6’5”, would this bike be tall enough?
love my 05 sv
do you have to ride this hunched over like a sport bike?
This bike is hard to come by these days (on craigslist in NY), cant blame em. Who'd wanna sell this beut.
Still looking myself lol
Can this bike b ride off rode?
you have your big light on all the time
Sorry im french. What is the name of the exhaust system on bike ?
c'est les échappements cheap made in china a 150 €.. prends plutot un mivv
Should I trade my Honda shadow spirit 750 for a 99 sv650 it's has a rebuilt engine
If you hadn't already done it now, I'd heavily consider! The only issue the 99-00 engines had was a water pump problem which would have surely been taken care of in the rebuild. As the owner of an 01 I'd go for it
Thinking about getting an sv650, is it more powerful than my C50 cruiser or should I get a bigger naked bike?
Eastcoaster I’m looking for he same answer
@@lylebarron1153 I ended up getting a Yamaha xsr900. And OH MY GOD so much more power than the C50!
If you already have experience driving a manual shift car, and know you're not the type to panic or get whiskey throttle then the SV650 is the perfect first bike.
What would you say the value of a 2005 sv650 with a little over 15k miles is? This guy is asking $3,300 and I feel like that’s a little high
I think that’s a great deal. I sold my 03’ back in 2010 for $3000 with 17,000 miles on it for comparison.
My first bike and I'm thinking to get it back
I can't decide between the yzf r3 and sv650sf. This will be my first bike and once I have enough riding experience I plan to only use it at the track. Any thoughts?
JayTac1 650
Easy: sv650
Sv650 vs zr750, same price, same year, what would you choose?
progste as a former SV650 owner and a current Z1000 owner, I would go with the SV.
Any one know good websites to buy this bike any ting but Craigslist
Facebook market place or cycle trader
How much?
I still ride my 250 ninja and my brother has the sv and It can be something intimidating for me but it is fun. Is the extra weight and CC easy to get used to? When I decide to upgrade. I've only ridden about 10k miles in the past year or so between my shadow 600 and en250.
+westboundNinja1 you would get used to it super quick
Srkcycles brother thank you and God bless. I took my ninja on the freeway and I'm 260lbs and it did fine at 80mph but my bro with little effort on his sv left me in the dust and without strain.
Don't let some of the RUclips posters fool you; 10,000 miles in a year is way more than most riders do.
XVS650 is this you saying that the sv should be easily doable? I really enjoy how cheap to insure my ninja is. Yes I guess you could say I ride every chance I get. Just started driving my car again bc I need a new chain and whatnot. My favorite thing is this knockoff Sena headset for me and my bro. It has changed the game for me. What bike would you recommend upgrading too?
My SV is $110/yr to insure. Super cheap.You will get used to the power very quickly. I bought mine as a first bike and while it did feel extremely fast initially, I got used to it within a month. It feels slow to me now haha. 10k miles is a lot for bikes in a year. When I bought mine last year the previous owners had put 200 miles on it per year.
The sv650 is a brilliant bike but if you can find a good one the sv1000(s or n) is a really great platform bike.upgrade brake lines and suspension chuck in a decent exhaust(m4) and a well set up power commander and you have so much bang for the buck its not true.
Ps-the suzuki saddle is not the most comfortable around!
Is this good for shorter people? Like someone at 5 ft 5? Also, what is the stock seat like?
Commenting hoping to see future replies! I'm about 5'2, height always worries me
Yes and many used SV650s were also lowered by the previous owners
You guys need to test a sv1000,
I had one, very easy to get up to mischief on! Had to sell it due to illness otherwise I'd still have it.
I'm 52, 6'3", 215. I would be a first time rider and have been looking for a first bike, Many of the 650cc and lower bikes seem entirely too small for me. I'm considering a Triumph Bonneville T100 or T120. What do you think of thise choices? I really have no interest in a sport bike. I'm leaning toward the T120 right now. I'm looking to take the MSF course and follow up courses if available.
Look for an SV1000!
Is it alright for tall riders? I've seen a lot of posts on forums where people are saying it is, but they are 6'5 at the most - I am 6'9.
You should try one, but I honestly think it might be too small for you. I don't say you couldn't ride it. But I'm 5'11 and I have both my feet planted down completely at a stop.
@@nandutzu im 5 10 and my legs are curver a lot when im flat foot on both sides. So you might not be 5 11 to be honest
I WANT ONE!!
In Canada you had this generation in full fairing up until 2014. Will probably be my 1rst bike in a year or two.
