Re: SV1000 Question

Hi Y`all

got an SV1000 Q`

I Sold my SV650 a few weeks back and have now realised I want another..

I`m looking @ an SV1000, now i know they are juicier and have more power etc (obviously) but what else is there to expect? I used to have a curvy Naked and am looking @ another naked.

Thanks

Fully adjustable suspension, bigger tyres & (as you stated) more power & more torque

I had a 650 Curvy & then got a Thou' as I wanted to do more touring

The differences between a 650 & Thou' come down to frame, engine, swinging arm, wheels & brake. The fairing, lights, rear subframe, pegs & mirrors are both the same

Just completely different animal. Lots more immediate grunt, completely different handling. None of the lightness and small feeling the 650 has.

Glug Glug Glug. They have one heck of a thirst for petrol. Plus all of the above

I don't think they are too bad actually. There is a poll on the sv-portal and the majority of people are getting 40-50mpg which isn't unreasonable for a 1 liter bike.

Dry weight is about 20kg more than the 650, but it does at least have half decent suspension and brakes. I did consider an SV1000, but with the bargain price of Aprilia RSV's the SV didn't look like such a great deal. The last bikes with the GSX-R colours do like nice though.

not much point getting a 1000 unless its fully faired,as your only going get longer arms neckache and blown off the back of the bike
