I live in England and I have this bike and it is great! The QS is so slick, the handling is confidence inspiring, I am 50 yrs old and I love this bike.
I purchased a 2024 black 8S with blue rear frame and blue rims back in December, day after Christmas! I love it. Comfortable, handles great, and I just love the looks of it. Also first bike I've ever had with quick shifter. I'm an old guy of 56.
Just one more week and this lady will be mine. Did lot of research for my budget and this one impressed me the most . Really looking forward to taking it home.
Yeah when I first saw this bike it took me a minute to get used to the cyber punk looks, I was kinda stuck on the round headlight of the old SV 650 but the looks have grown on me. Front end looks better than an MT07 I say. But looks like an upgrade in every way from the old SV👍🏼
Nice video! Good to see ride impressions from somewhere with road conditions similar to what I'd see here in Arizona. Curious if you felt much heat from the engine/radiator in slower more congested traffic? Also wondering if you know if there is any difference mechanically between the 23 and 24 models as I can still get 23's with a bit of a rebate here? Thanks for sharing!
I didn't notice any heat problems, I don't know the answer to the differences between the 23 and 24 , Thanks for watching 🙏 my friend! Get that bike you will love it my friend, don't be a stranger.
Now I just have to figure out which camera to get riding. Gopros are so expensive and I'm sure there are many other companies out there that have the same tech for the right price .
It's a fun bike is all I can say, I would pick the 660 Aprilia, but that's just me. Hey thanks for watching 🙏 my friend! Ride Safe and don't be a stranger.
Suzuki's middleweight lineup seems crowded and confusing....the new GSX8s, the SV650, and the GSXS-750 still available....they seem to overlap a great deal....it's hilarious that the engine types are different on all 3...1 parallel twin, 1 v-twin, and 1 inline-4.
It's a really popular segment, these manufacturers are smart and getting as many irons in the fire as they can. Thanks for watching 🙏 and commenting! Ride Safe and don't be a stranger my friend!!
If the sv kept up with the tech and hid lights I might have chose the 650. But I'm not gonna pay the same amount for a bike with less even tho I'm sucker for a twin.
Same in the UK. I find that such a strange spec. Everything else is LED but the front LED blinkers are an optional extra. Maybe they ran out of LED blinkers in the UK. 😂

I think this bike is designed and for beginners and women
Its called choice and i think more choice the better
