Reasons to not think about getting an SV thou?

[Paul the 6th]

come on then, somebody talk me out of it... There's some reasonably priced ones on the bay & biketrader. What's the downsides?

[markryker]

Hmm cant talk you out of it Paul, i have toyed with the idea myself, saw a nice one in the limited edition gixxer blue colours and almost had that myself :)

[mattSV]

Only reason NOT to get one is if you think it is just a faster SV650. Totally different bike (apart from overall look). Swapping mine after 5 years for a new ST in 30 minutes!

At first I missed the 650, however once I put a pair of LOUD cans on (Remus, with 60mm outlets, no baffles:cool:) there was no going back.

The SV1000 is a stonking (budget) big twin - DO IT;)

[cuffy]

Only downside, same size tank as the 650 and a bit more thirsty, but the grin factor will win you over.

[rowdy]

Saw one on bike trader yesterday, 1800 pound for a 2008 k7 with about 1600mls on the clock. Could've been a miss print though.

[G]

I think Kwak prefered the SV650 when he got his 1000, he was always considering getting another 650 I think anyway..............I dont think the 1000 is anywhere near as throwable and fun.

[Sid Squid]

The SV1000 is a great and hugely underrated bike, in some ways this is good as they now go for reasonable prices, but do have in mind it isn't a big fast SV650, it's a completely different bike that shares only styling with the 650 and very few parts. It has a better engine, better brakes, quality suspension, and despite what some will tell you, isn't significantly thirstier than the 650. I've run both and I know this for a fact.

[evertheoptimist]

If you want to do any long distance touring this is a fantastic bike to do it on a real mile muncher, and the acceleration is awesome it looks great and the sound is monster even with standard cans. The only negative is its not so easy to throw round the corners as already stated but hey its not bad round the corners either the bike will far exceed my skill level !!!

[Swin]

I only recently got an SV650, and was planning to hang up my commuting boots in a few years time, buying one last bike to take me into my twilight years. I wasn't sure exactly what bike it would be tbh, but I'm now seriously considering an SV thou for the job, if I can't save up enough for an RSV anyway!

[Paul the 6th]

Oi everyone! I said reasons NOT to think about an svThou! Lol, as above, I'm not a mega enthusiastic rider, never been bothered about getting my knee down, not particularly bothered about laptimes & trackdays... But I do like confidence & good roadcraft, comfort, long distance capability & a good bit of thump from the fun stick now & again. They're so cheap & plentiful, and love the look of pointys.

Thanks alot you gits. :)

Oh and sid squid, what's the suspension & brakes like? Still worthy of sinterred pads & uprated springs from maxton etc? Whats the shock like? If all said items are better on the thou, I'm guessing a gsxr front end swap wouldn't be as effective as it is on the 650 (I.e. Amazing updated brakes & forks)

[Sid Squid]

The only negative is its not so easy to throw round the corners as already stated but hey its not bad round the corners either the bike will far exceed my skill level !!!
Even if this were correct - which I sincerely dispute, (see below), - this is hardly a reasonable comment, you can't criticise a bigger bike for being a bigger bike. No-one would ever criticise an SV650 for being bigger and less 'chuckable', (whatever that means), than an RS250 Aprilia, but by this logic it unquestionably is.

The SV1000 gives considerably more torque than does the 650, thus it requires better throttle control, it's unfair to criticise a bike for a common failing of people's riding technique - nothing in the world steers correctly off the throttle and greater torque, both on and off the throttle, shows that up more plainly.

[Sid Squid]

Both very much greater quality than the 650 - the 1000 isn't the budget bike the 650 is - brakes are the highly regarded four-piston Tokico, standard pads are fine, some people have swapped to a suitable GSXR shock, not a huge improvement to my mind, as the original is good but should replacement be needed there's no reason to not get a better unit if possible. Seen a couple of GSXR front end swaps, but, as you say, because the original is excellent it's no so commonly done.

[Paul the 6th]

Interesting stuff squid, I've been riding for two years so I might not be ready for the monstrous torque of a v-twin thousand, might give it a bit longer before I trade mine in for a missile :)

[pookie]

you can always ride it slowly..I find its a pain in town for commuting as you really want to get going.

[dyzio]

Only downside, same size tank as the 650 and a bit more thirsty, but the grin factor will win you over.

Just curious, what sort of range per tank are the thou's getting?

[Paul the 6th]

I'm generally very sensible (see also steady away) on the bike, but it was only last Sunday that I had a slight brown pants moment as the back wheel slid sideways about 8inches. I'd missed the dust on the road at the roundabout as I filtered to the front, the woman in the people carrier decided she wasn't going to let me in, and I responded by pulling away a bit quicker than her = damn near highsided the mofo! Think if it had been a thou, I might have kissed the tarmac :rolleyes:

having said that, that's been my only "near miss" or "wobble" for about a year, so I guess it's par for the course..

[dizzyblonde]

reasons for not getting an SV1000......cause you want a Raptor really ;-)

[ThEGr33k]

Better V-twin bikes out there for similar monies :)


Dont be under the impression its a more powerful 650, its not at all. :(

Best thing is to go test ride a few, I did.

[xXBADGERXx]

^Cough^ TL ^Cough^

[dizzyblonde]

^Cough^ TL ^Cough^

^cough^ RAPTOR, TL engine but with superior handling^ cough^:smt081

[Paul the 6th]

^Cough^ TL ^Cough^

I haven't made a will yet! Fair point nick, not thinking of it as a "faster sv650" but a bigger slightly different machine... As people have said it feels nowt like the 650 :) I'll see if I can get a test ride :)

[mattSV]

Just curious, what sort of range per tank are the thou's getting?

Caning it I could get the light to come on at around 80 miles :riding:

On a long run, with a few motorways I could get around 140/150.

[xXBADGERXx]

^cough^ RAPTOR, TL engine but with superior handling^ cough^:smt081
He said cheap remember , Raptors are still holding their prices the last time I looked which was after the Hardy Bikers 2 , seem to remember you telling me to get one and I had a look , saw the prices and thought "Fox Hat"

[dizzyblonde]

i dunno, last I looked they were a bit down on price. I know over xmas they were selling for peanuts. If I'd have had the money there was an Xtra we knew the owner of that was selling his for a steal.
Mind you some of the ebay 'classifieds' are taking the pee with their asking prices

[xXBADGERXx]

Exactamundo my Blonde Mad friend ................ they were ripping the widdle wholesale

[Ratty]

It's a great bike. Do it. Try and get a K5 or later for a bit more power and better throttle response. Nothing wrong with the handling when you set up the suspension and I ride mine the same as my 650. Pegs touch earlier though if I must be critical.

Ratty

[pookie]

usually get light on at 90-103 and most was about 110.. cant get it to be more frugal. On my curvy would regularly get 125 before lights on. Dont have the balls to run the sv1000 to second stage fuel light..if there is such a thing?

[MattCollins]

I wanted and could have had one... but it has been dropped from the local '09 line up, so that was that. I prefer to buy something that is going to be around for a few years.

The only thing that I saw fit to fix on the 650 was the suspension.

Cheers

[jimmy4237]

It's a cracking big bike m8. I still have my '05 fully faired model. Loads more torque than the 650, but it demands a drink every 120 - 130 miles, or you'll be pushing the thing!! The most I managed to squeeze out of a tank was 145, 20 of that with the fuel light on:riding::riding: That was pushing it in the highlands of scotland where fuel stations are remote. It took a full 16 litres of fuel at the garage..

Suspension wise it's far better adjustable and I've still got the standard shock on the back. Get it set up right, and you'll be laughing. Don't expect to fling it into corners though like a 650. The thou is a big longer, heavier, and needs setup for the corners that wee bit earlier.

Brakes wise no problems - stops you dead. I wish I could transfer the 4 pots onto my 9r, but the caliper spacing is smaller..

A set of decent aftermarket cans on it and it sounds the business. The standard catalytic convertor cans are too quiet, and hold the heat for too long, I've burned myself on them half an hour after a run - don't have that problem with the SS Scorpions. Baffles out and they sound awesome.

Take one for a test ride 1st m8.

[Sid Squid]

Don't waste your time or money on a TL, certainly not a TLS*, they were never as good, (or as scary), as owners would have you believe, they're a flawed, developmental dead end that Suzuki rightly forgot about except for the good bit - the engine - which they used for far better purposes, of which one is the SV1000, which is a better bike than the TLS ever was.
Just about all TLs are fecked now anyway. I'd certainly be very, very careful about buying one; simply they too often get owned by the kind of people you don't want to buy a S/H bike from.
If you'd like a big twin there isn't a better one than an SV1000 available for the sort of prices that SVs go for, certainly not an Italian one that's for sure.

*However the TLR is a surprisingly good real world road bike, far far better than is generally thought.

[Paul the 6th]

Can I buy you a beer next time I'm working in London squid? Thanks for the advice everyone :) will try get a test ride in the next week or two & go from there :)

[ThEGr33k]

Id also look at 955i's either sprint ST or Daytona. Both great bikes. :)

[Ratty]

Paul

Test ride is the way to go but get the dealers to put the suspension back to stock settings before you take it out because they can be well bolloxed up by previous owners which will put you off.

Yes but they are not the same bike are they , they only share looks and the Squiddly one has mentioned many times not to expect anything even closely related apart from looks . Yes Girth`s bike is nice but paintjobs like that just scream cat "C" to me even if they aren`t (not knocking your lovely paintjob there Girth:)) . I would love the 650 in an Anniversary scheme with all my add-ons slapped onto it .

[MR UKI (1)]

To provide a little bit of balance to the thread, one reason to get one:




It's not a 650 :D

[xXBADGERXx]

Ok Ok Ok I shall add some balance too ...... here goes .


You will not be the owner of a SV650S anymore , and even though you have a bigger SV and we will humour your presence , and be nice to you and stuff , you will have that feeling like you are one of those big smelly Dog`s that rests it`s muzzle on your knee . People pat you on the head as a gesture but inside they are screaming "Nyaaaaragh Gerroff Me Ya Mangy Mutt" , and when you walk away they wipe their hands on the arm of the chair and try and brush the stinky fang drool off their lap .................. is that OK ?

In short you will become the old stinky Irish Wolf Hound of the website

IIRC correctly Girth got it from the dealers like that( I know your not knocking Girths either Mr Brock;)).
They don't scream cat C to me, just very personalised.
Though you can usually tell if its crashed, as theres usually other things that have been swapped and changed that don't add up



And yes I do believe I heard Girth saying he was thinking of selling in my house last week, but then again:smt017

True , I grew up in an era where crashed bikes were given a new paintjob by Dream Machine and lots of people went for race rep colours after a Bike to Tarmac interface ....... I am always very wary when I see something that is non standard and just something that has me on high alert . In fact my mate Simon has a Faberge-Brut Sheene paintjob on his GSX750f and that hasn`t been crashed . Just something in my head from years ago .

[ThEGr33k]

A couple. They were a bit boring and disappointing for me, that's why I not got one. Ill not compare it to the falco cos most people havn't rode one... I can compair it to the 650 though, which I was happy to get back on both times :mad:

Engine was strong, but dull, had no edge, hard to explain in words really. You felt like you were sat right on top and it wasn't comfortable, on the 650 I felt like I was sat in it. The weight distribution felt all wrong so when you were cornering I didn't feel confident at all. :(

No doubt when you get used to it and set the suspension up for yourself they are a cracking bike... but I don't think its a bigger better SV650... more a sideways move.

Dont wish any offence to anyone who likes theirs... So please dont take any! ;)

P.S. Maybe I was unlucky in the ones I rode? :smt017

[kwak zzr]

visually the same as the sv650s, monster torque, slower steering, better suspension, better brakes, quick bike = 92 in 2nd, the only gear you ever need on the big sv is 3rd (30 - 130)
very under rated bike and a very cheap big v twin.

[custard]

mine has been brought out of hibernation after winter and i cant stop grinning about it.

they do eat tyres etc but you would expect it. they are not a light bike but if you put your weight into it the can be hustled. i reckon the engine is stonking personally. more than enough grunt to fire you at the horizon at an indecent rate of knots.

try one. you may hate it.

steer clear of the 03 ones as some develop a knock which could end up being catastrophic (big end bearings or summat).

[kwak zzr]

the "knock" was a crank bearing of the wrong size fitted in a faulty batch, this was replaced for most under warranty, if it wasn't replaced it causes no bother at all really and no failures have been reported.

Yes Girth`s bike is nice but paintjobs like that just scream cat "C" to me even if they aren`t.
Exactly. Any non standard paint raises my 'iffy bike' radar immediately. There can obviously be perfectly innocuous reasons for painting a bike - but I always want to know, and there's no doubt that non-standard paint reduces the value of a bike, sometimes quite considerably, no matter how high the quality of the job.
