Default No more SV1000's

Just been informed that there are going to be no more SV1000's faired or unfaired. Suzuki's stock is very thin on the ground and they wont be replacing them.

So if you want one new then id suggest you get one now

If it's the end of the SV1000/S then it's a sad day indeed. I personally think Suzuki did a very poor styling/marketing job of what is a very good (and much under-rated) motorcycle. Great shame.

I think they where hoping that everyone that had a 650 would upgrade.

I agree. But Gregs right, they did a poor job marketing it. The SV1000 although 'better' than the 650, still seems like another budget bike. Great if thats what you want, but no if you're up grading. Saying that, big twins never seem to sell that well anyway

Jonboy...Much as I know you have a soft spot for the SV1000,it obviously has not hit enough hot spots with enough buyers to justify it's presence in the Suzuki line up anymore.

Next to go the Sv?????????

Finally ran out of left over TL lumps, perhaps?

A sad day indeed.

Not a surprise - never really sold and always looked down upon by the GSXR and R1 crowd

I must admit I would have prefered a Fazer thou over the SV
