Re: New git
I initially, along w/ everyone else just getting into motorcycles, drew a too general conclusive comparison between motorcycles and cars. That being the bigger the motor, the better it compares on paper the better a specific MC is and its just not the case in every case. Just because a MC is cheaper AND japanese does NOT make it inferior to an American or Italian, or British, etc., brand of whatever MC its being compared to.
The fact, as I now see it, is in today's MC world because competition is so very high the Japanese (Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha) make a very competitive (sometimes the best) MC in every class being globally sold. That being the cruiser, the commuter, the general sport (street/dirt/etc.). I think this is because its sooo much easier for design changes and improvements to be implemented in the factory, sometimes even during mid-year production. Whereas w/ cars its hard for manufacturers to even make model changes & improvements from year to year as manufacturing cars is so very much more complicated and has so many more parts and production steps/stages.

Re: New git
I think THE biggest current issue w/ the SV650 is IF Suzuki would invest some technology into the design for less than a $1,500 sticker price increase the woeful suspension problems could fixed as well as increasing the hp for the SV's vtwin to well over 80+ thus making the SV competitive w/ the GSXR or CBRR 600's. Probably beating it.

For me it's a workhorse and quite a good one at that....... But that's it, the Suzuki build quality is down to its usual standards but I'm sure most of you will all know about that. I found this forum after a search on regulator problems and was delighted to find the the answers I needed including the pos/neg wiring mod for which I'm very grateful My Buell on the other hand is a completely different animal, I've owned it since 2001 and it's a keeper...... Mostly due to the amount of money that's been invested in it over the years. I won't bore you with spec only that it makes a genuine 95 rwhp and 89ftlb torque and has run the quarter in 11.185@117.95 again not the fastest out there but it makes me smile I like V Twins |
