Sv1000

[matsv650s]

Is there much difference betweennormal SV1000s and SZ model?

Not on paper but in actually riding one. was wondering if it was worth the extra cost.

(Modded,volume lowered, missing letters adde& punctation, try turning off the CAP next time)

What???

I reckon the only difference would be top end speed. Might be slower through twisties as it's a lot heavier and not so chuckable.:)

Eh ?

The SZ is just an S with the 2007 spec engine, lowers and GSXR style paint scheme. I don't think it's available anymore as "new" but some old stock may be around.

As far as I'm aware, the K7 has the same engine, but I may be wrong...

its the same weight, might be abit quicker top end but who goes there?
personally i like the paint but not the lowers.

I reckon Dan got confused with a 650.
I don't know about SZ, but I saw a LOVELY SVR 1000 on the way to Brands yesterday - high level cans and great paint job
(May have got the name wrong but it was an SV1000 with an R in the name somewhere)

[DanAbnormal]

Yep, my bad. Was thinking of difference between 650 and 1000.

I'll get my coat!

the 650 is a dream to ride and chuck about compared to the 1000, the 1000 is not the same bike 650 but with a bigger engine.
