If you are looking for a light,reliable, maneuverable and confortable for city riding bike and enough powered to have fun in the twisties, and you want YOU to be at the control (not the electronics) the Suzuki SV650 should be your choice. A truly welcome back to basics motorcycle.

How many mile do you expect to get on it?

I've been riding bikes for 15 years. Im an advanced motorcycle instructor here in the UK and I honestly cannot think of a better bike than this for real world riding. On the tight Twisty country roads I like to ride it has the perfect amount of power and torque. You can use it all and feel like a hero but won't kill yourself if you try to do so. It's softly sprung enough to take the bumps and jumps but firm enough to throw around and really push. On track yeah there are better bikes and if you want to spend a lot of time on motorways you can use more but for the real world, where I ride this is just perfect. I don't own one at the moment but I am after getting another.

Having owned both an SV650S and a Weestrom, the Suzuki 650 V-Twin engine would have to be one of the best mid-capacity bike engines out there. Lots of low down torque, smooth power delivery all the way to red-line, great on fuel, sounds great with a pipe and is full of character/personality. Plus it's pretty much bulletproof and capable of some seriously high kms before needing to be touched. There are some car engines out there that wouldn't last as long! Such a shame it won't be around for much longer... Plus it's easy to tell if it has ABS. The ABS sensor wheel on the wheel hub is very obvious just by looking at it!

I dont have the self control to ride super fast bikes... lol I will get pulled over so fast. The SV is really a perfect bike. 350lbs - 70hp A true recipe for an amazing bike! Perfect commuter and a real 'ride everywhere' bike!

I bought one no regrets. Fast enough and handles great. Totally simple bike. Cheap insurance was the kicker in Canada.

I bought my used 2000 SV650 (red) in 2000 with less than a thousand miles and in as-new condition for $5000. The owner was a LEO and his wife said either the bike had to go or she would. He chose the marriage and I got a new red SV650. I hope it worked out for him, because it sure worked out for me. It became my filtering weapon of choice commuting along the crowded SF bay area freeways. Narrow, flickable, enough power to get into trouble, and a lot of fun in the Mount Diablo hills. The SV became an all-time favorite for me, but we moved to the mountains of Idaho so I traded it in (with a handful of cash) on a new 2002 V-Strom 1000. I still miss the 650, and sixty thousand miles later I still have a place in my heart for my (former) all-time favorite bike. The V-Strom has taken 1st place. Suzuki's V-twins are the used bike deals of the century.

I absolutely agree with everything you said. I'm a V Strom 1050 and owner and I'm very happy with it but I'm thinking about buying a SV for the city traffic. God bless all your rides!

Hello. Greetings from Manchester, England. I've had approx 30 bikes. Everything from DRZ400 through to ZX9R, CBR600, Fireblades RC51 etc. The SV has a special place in my heart. I had a Gen 2 and currently have a Gen 3 to sit alongside my 95 Blade. Understandably, it needs suspension work. I fitted a Nitron rear shock, updated springs and 15w oil. Finish is on the budget side too - thin paint on fork legs, lack of plating on bolts. But it's a cheap bike! I get approx 60mpg. It has a great characterful engine and always brings a smile to my face. Highly recommended!

I have a 2019 SV650 non-abs . Absolutely a blast. Coming from a 05 SV650, the gen 3 is a welcomed upgrade. Perfect for splitting lanes, but add a top case and all of sudden your adv ready.

I just bought one today! back in 1999 I got the then new on the scene SV 650 S had it for 13 years, learned to ride on the track scrape knees etc, Had a few different bikes since still got a 09 ZX10R, and a 08 Gixer 600 trackbike , You just cant have fun on the street on a 200hp missile, looking forward to going back to basics. .

Great video. First review for the 2023 I've seen. I just picked up the 2023, same model about a month ago. I love it. Put over 1300 miles on it already. Great bike. Very nimble, fun, alot of low end torque, everyone asks me about it. 2 up is comfortable. I ride with my bright on at night time, it definitely is a difference. Good factory tires as well. Seat has been great on riding for 12 to 16 hours a day with short breaks at times. The engine break sound is very good. I did adjust my clutch lever right after I bought it. 2 up riding is comfortable at city and highway speeds. Will definitely be getting a windshield for it soon. Seating position is comfortable.

I have that exact bike! 😊In the UK with ABS honestly,it was unbeatable value( around £1000-£1500 cheaper than anything in the class, and after a test ride I fell in love with the engine. It's not the latest spec but a good honest reliable and most of all FUN bike which suited me perfectly....back to biking after 20 gap. The dash has brightness level adjustment too 👍 Enjoyed your review,many thanks 👍

I completely agree with that! Using this tool for having fun since 2020. An it works!

Just bought the sv 650, I have a 23 harley softail. Got to say I love the suzuki better. Iam 60yrs old and this bike is so much fun. I weigh 220lbs suspension feels good to me as stock.

Great video! Sums it up very well. I have a 2019 with ABS and am super happy with it. I added an MRA fly screen designed for this bike and works great. I am 6'2" and find it comfortable on long rides. Just FYI, the brightness of the screen is adjustable if it seems too dim. Over time, say after 5K to 6k miles i found mine to shift and operate more smoothly and run better. I have as much or more fun on this simple "analog" bike than on more expensive bikes. Couldn't recommend it more highly, especially for the price.

Welcome to the world wide SV community pale! Simplicity is awesomness!!

Great review and helpful tips too. Hoping to have one in two weeks time. I just want a reliable reasonably good all rounder that is comfortable to commute, and with a little fun on longer rides. Do appreciate the lack of plastic same as Yourself. The lack of electronics, riding aids another. I believe abs fitted here in U.K. I kind of hope so, it can be useful. Thanks for sharing MotoJitsu

Absolutely fantastic bike...Suzuki has been making these since 1999...the V twin engine in today's bike is essentially the same since 1999...these Suzuki V twin engines are well known for their robust and bullitt proof reliability...they just keep going...this is not the most high performance and fast bike in the world but it will still deliver a smile everytime you ride it...

Got one identical to this about 3 weeks ago.. loving it

I got the exact bike new rider and it’s a blast. And it has abs as standard in uk

gonna cop this for my first bike, seems like a blast.

Loving these reviews Greg

Greg all SVs have abs as standard in europe . Didnt know they made it w/o

I bought my first bike 2 months ago Navy Blue suzuki 650sv. I love it.

Suspension for the sv650 is stock tuned for a 120lb rider, use the toolkit under the seat to adjust it to your needs! I weigh 115 so it did just fine for me

Im often scanning the used bikes pages for old gen2 SV650's. Such a fun little bike, and I regret I sold my K6 after entering the cubic and horsepower race. The only thing you have to be careful with is wheelies (I heard, since it drains the inlet for the oil pump, but apart from that its a very solid bike).

@TH4.W4TCH4

It famously cannot pump oil when you're in a sustained wheelie, but no problems doing shorter ones all day long!

The look of this bike really appeals to me for some reason. I like the basics of it. I might by one for the mountains.

It's a great, good looking, simple bike... what we should enjoy. We need bikes with soul back!

Great vid! I still think the old ones sound better, but it was - and seemingly is - a great bike, both for beginners and "coming backs" like myself.

Cant wait the season start to get mine! :D

As a 50 year old beginner, do you think the SV is beginner friendly, i love the look, simplicity, reliability, and I think it can be a great first bike even for some small touring in the country...

I commute to work in Phoenix, AZ during the week and ride the twisties on the weekend. I can’t get enough. 😅 Everyone that I’ve talked to that ever had an SV says their only regret was selling it.

Def a gr8 bike MJ , i bought a 2020 one , i love it ,i think abs is standard on front brake . The only niggles with it i had was the oil filter position right behind front wheel and fuel range and tank mileage on display isnt gospel lol My advice is to change the nasty stock exhaust and get a good slip on and hear that v twin sing.

Im 35 and joined the biker cult last year. Ive learned with a sv650 in my driving school and after alot of reviews i went for the 2023 sv650 and i dont regret my decision. Very good price for a brand new bike and it feels so good.

Slap a wider handlebar and sport exhaust on it and it's perfect, I just bought the 2003 sv650n with all mods I would've done already on it.

No ABS... In Scandinavia were i live... It seems like every new bike from 125cc is ABS equipped?

Is it possible that a Benelli Bike will be reviewed? Benelli 302s please

start up screen not bad ...if you got night vision

Everything about this bike is a little better than the MT07. It can easily be made to look better. Aftermarket is large. Lots of forums and support on line from older dudes who actually know stuff. The bike is a blast and it’s exactly what it’s supposed to be. It is its own man. Classic bike that runs like a champ. And if you are an older person wanting to sell your big expensive bikes, but still want to rip around a little this bike is a blast and easy to handle with surprising power and torque. I am selling my bikes now and buying another SV to grow old with before they are no more.

If you're in the US study for the written permit test, after you pass go buy a bike and you have 7 months to master riding it then go take the riding portion of the test and get your license. It only took me a month before going and taking the riding test

you wanna check for the ABS look if there's a perforated disc installed on the front and rear rear inside the brake disc inner diameter, supplied with the sensor. In majority it won't click in decelerating from low speeds in a non-abrupt manner. There again, if your ABS clicks in while in the street it may save your ass form rubbing the asphalt, whether you're an experienced driver or not - you learn thoughout your life and you never know what situation out there you're yet to experience. From what you're sayin experienced drivers are totally not susceptible to any road sitatuons, are they?:)

Ma in due per giri fuori città come va?

5 or 6 inches from heel to butt doesn't sound correct. This bike has a rather straight up riding position from my experience - although the geometry is a few inches different with the latest version vs. mine. But other than that, thanks for the video. I have a gen 2 and love it.

I find first gear on the SV650 to be particularly choppy. I'm a beginner so I know a lot of that is on me and the best way to mitigate this is to practice and it's gotten a little better each ride, but is that normal for these bikes? I took my course on a Tiger 660 and didn't have an issue with throttle control whatsoever, but the SV650 really lets it be known when I'm not being as meticulous as I could be. Heard this is also just kind of a thing with V-Twins. More curiosity than anything. I know I'll get better with practice.

SV 650 you can start engine with just push the start engine button, no need break and clutch when you are in N gear.

I've owned 2 of them, and it is *not* comfortable. There is virtually no seat padding and you keep sliding forward into the tank - it starts to hurt after 45 minutes, even with an aftermarket seat. And the pegs are going to feel too high, as well, for most people over 5'10" (I kept getting leg cramps). The stock front suspension was so soft, it caused a lot of suspension dive when braking. Other than that - yeah, it's a great engine.

For track.... Suzuki SV650 is a bit better than a little bit better😂 Both are super reliable mechanically, easy to work on and cheap to maintain and so that's down to a scalpal If you were to split it. "If" however you should crash, it must be said that the MT07 would damage more than SV but parts availability is better and parts slightly cheaper. Both ARE 👏 👏 👏 and the choice is hard.
