Hornet to SVS - Page 3 - SV650.org

Good topic, on the reverse side of this I'm considering SV to 600 IL4.

Think the choice has an awful lot to do with where, how and why you ride the bike. I found that I quite liked the torque and lower down power of my SV, good for the tighter twisties. But I find I struggle when riding with people who have 600's and the like when it comes to the faster riding getting towards 100.

I think you may be slightly disappointed on suspension as stock stuff on the SV is noticeable lacking compared to 600's, but depends what you're after in your bike.

Swings and roundabouts.

Also on another side of the argument, bear in mind you'll be going from Honda build quality on yer Hornet to lesser Suzuki build quality.
