SV1000S Fully Faired
 

I know there are a few on this site who have or have upgraded to the
1000 so can somebody tell me the true top-end and what sort of fuel consumption when cruising/touring

Thanks

Mac

By all accounts the true top end is 150 (indicated 160/165) and the fuel consumption is an order of magnitude higher than the 650.

The thou will definitely be my next bike and you'll love it Mac, take one for a test ride :wink: .

Can't tell you the top end (yes I'm a feardy-cat for my licence :roll: ) but when cruising on the 1000S I'm getting warning light about 110-115 miles, and have taken it to 155 before fueling once (riding really gently for the last 20 miles, was about 1.5 L left at that point). I'm not that agressive a rider though. For comparison I was getting 135 to flashing light on my Y 650S, and had done 160s before fueling.

I've had my SV1000S for nearly a year now and I'm very pleased with it.
Top end i've had 145 mph on the clock and as for fuel consuption I'm getting about 130 - 140 miles out the tank to the reserve light coming on.
You may find more information at. the following SV1000 site.

As per
 

I have found one of the few remaining sv1000sz's and I am SORELY tempted to go and give him my pound deposit £6ooo for cash? good or bad? only thing is selling the 650 as there seems to be a few about at the moment and although mine is still under warranty till Dec it has 13000 on the clock For Sale £2995 anybody interested?

I don't think you'll regret buying it, particularly in those snazzy colours and lowers that the SZ has. However I reckon your price for the 650 is a little top heavy considering the state of the market at the moment (if you don't mind me saying so).

I have a SZ sitting here in front of me!!..plus suzuki have put them onto the 0% finance which is great.

Fuel consumption will be up on the 650 but what the eck...you will be having so much fun you wont care!!!

Hang on, isn't that 10 times more? :) 4mpg...

Yes now that would be thirsty :lol: . But you know very well I was being metaphorical...

On my 1000S I get about 110 to 125 miles before the light comes on. I then get paranoid and fill up asap to find I still have about 5 litres left. Top speed I've had indicated is 145mph and it still had a bit to go. The SV was not that stable at that kind of speed compared to the only other "fast" bike I've ridden which was a ZX6R. The SV is afterall a sporty bike but not a sports bike. The way in which a bike delivers it's power and the handling should be a far more important consideration than merely top speed.
