Curvy > Pointy

wiki

Suzuki introduced the SV650 in 1999 as a budget entry in the emerging naked bike market and, as of 2008, offered both naked and fully faired. The bike provided a sporty though easily manageable ride. The combination of light weight, rigid chassis, strong handling, and the V-twin's strong mid-range torque appealed to beginner and experienced riders alike. While Suzuki has clearly modeled the first generation of the bikes aesthetics after the Suzuki TL1000S, There is also a clear influence from the Ducati Monster. The TL is still considered the "big brother" of the SV650. The 2003 SV1000 replaced the TL Series (TL1000S and TL1000R) and Suzuki marketed it as a bigger alternative to the second generation SV650.




The SV650 immediately became popular, but American buyers wanted the sportier 'S' version that featured lower handlebars, higher foot pegs and a bikini fairing and windscreen, available only in the European and Canadian markets. American magazines ran articles describing how to import it into the United States. In 2000, Suzuki began importing the SV650S to the USA

Yes the S rules and the curvy rules. It may be wiki but it's the truth. Pointys...just sell your bike for your own moral biking good and get the older wiser curvier brother.

To be fair I know there is nothing here that explicitly implies that curvy>pointy but ive ridden my cousins pointy in canada for almost 1kmiles and curvy easily is more fun and what i'd rather be on.

true untill you hit the thou ,sv is better than the tl
you may continue to berate pointy 650's

A faired curvy is damn ugly IMO looks like a fat person with tight clothes on. I think the unfaired pointy is the best looking.

So, there's no such thing as a pre-2008 S ?
