CARBED vs FUEL INJECTED - SV650.org

Are the newer ones really slower? I have seen some comments from people calling the pointies slow. Is this really the case? I'm getting an '05 model. Thanks

Its just envy at not having the more stylish shape its actually the curvy ones that are slower.

The pointies are slightly more powerful (and I do mean slightly) and have a flatter torque curve (I think)
Other than that, performance wise there's isn't much in it.

Pointees have approx 5bhp advantage over the curvies, when comparing like 4 like.

Suzuki still advertise the sv @ 70 bhp since it's introduction, but they have gained a little every year.

MCN tested a new one against the new kwak er6, the sv was doing 76bhp at the wheel.

Don't take any of the "curvies are best" - it's flannel! (and envy

)

I've owned both, curvies are nice, but pointees are better......

incoming!

curveys may lack a couple of BHP, but as we all know smooth curvey objects cut thru the air much easier & therefore us curvey owners dont need as much power to go faster :P
