sv650 vs gsr600
 

Went to dealer where i bought my sv from one year ago to arrange a service. While there took time to look around and spotted the GSR600 instant love. Am now thinking do I trade the sv for a gsr . Iam torn as what to do.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

test ride the GSR see if you like it / prefer it over the SV. Its the only way you'll know.

What Fizz said. Only you can make the decision.

Yep, it depends if you like it or not. IL4's are not for everyone.

Personally, if I was going to trade up, I'd want to trade up further. But it's a good looking bike, seems a good package. Give it a spin, try a Hornet as well for comparison ;)

Aye give it a go, but from what I've read, the gsr's fuelling is a bit snatchy and unrefined when winding on from a closed throttle.

The gsr doesn't have a much torque as an SV or a Hornet and both have much better mid-ranges. The gsr makes a bit more bhp than a Hornet (but only a couple of bhp) because it can rev higher.

Get a copy of this months Bike mag as the they have one of long-term test. They've had to fit a Power Commander to sort out the fuelling. There's also another comment in there saying that it's not as good as a Hornet.

Good looking bike, though - try one and make your own mind up :thumbsup:

Also check the vibration on the GSR - have heard there's a problem with the bar weights not being heavy enough and the bars vibrating badly.

Heavy bar weights is just a fudge for a bike that vibrates more than it should, usually...

The GSR i rode was a smooth ride, i was quite impressed with it...as everyone has said, test ride it...

Its an obvious choice: GSXR600 K6!
