Sv650x
Suzuki have shown another concept version of the new SV, the SV650X. Closest thing yet to a 650S and I like it.
I'm curious about the new SV...I have had mine since June 2016 and I have not seen another one on the road yet. OK, I live in Lincolnshire, not the most densely populated county but last week 5 MT-07 showed up together (a group ride) at my local bike haunt and a couple more showed up later. I would guess they are not selling too well? Last edited by Seeker; 08-11-17 at 03:34 PM. |

Re: Sv650x
I saw a new SV650 at the filling station at Kirbymoorside on the way from Helmsley a couple of months ago.It was the Red/Black version .I was on my way over the moors via Hutton-le-Hole to Castelton
https://tinyurl.com/y9krluzz If you ever go up that way and go through Danby and pick up the A171 to Whitby as you pass,"Scaling Dam" you get that weird Parallax effect where the dam seems to be defying gravity/angle and a few short miles after the Dam there's a Sandwich van stop for eats during the season. https://tinyurl.com/y9yxuach Way less busy than the,"Whistlestop" cafe in Whitby which is a very popular Bike stop.

Re: Sv650x
I'm a bit behind with new bikes, as I don't buy any bike mags and I don't visit any showrooms.
But I do like that

Re: Sv650x
Look at the height difference between seat and bars - easy rider or learner friendly

Re: Sv650x
its still fugly. suzuki need to get some fresh blood in the design department and need to start keeping up with the competition with regards to suspension and brakes. yes i know they are trying to keep it keenly priced.

Re: Sv650x
They could easily slap on some older GSXR USD forks from the parts bin, they'll have no shortage of them.
