Dilemma - SV650.org

13-11-04, 01:37 AM

I was in my local dealer's shop on Monday enquiring about purchasing a nice, new, shiny, black SVS. Apparently, according to him, Suzuki are running low on stocks of K4's and he expects to take delivery of the new black framed K5's within the next two months. My dilemma is this; do I get a silver frame with black bits or wait for an all black beast? Is the K5 650 even going to be available in black? I don't want to rush and get a K4 but fall for the new K5 when I actually see it in the metal. Anyone actually seen a black K5 yet? Opinions would be appreciated.

Wait & get a black K5 (with lowers)

It'll look fantastic

Black paint, black wheels & black frame... A poor mans Ducati 749 Dark

I thought the K5 650s was only available in red, yellow and blue.

I know how you feel I am facing the same problem, all black would look very sweet. As far as I know the K5 will be available in blue, red and black. The brochure does not list a yellow one.

I was just going by the suzuki website sv page
Though, I think we did come to the conclusion that the yellow one was a K4

Wait and get the K5 if you can. I like the look of the black frame and looks really good on the all black one IMO, it'll probably be worth a little more when you come to sell it too.

3 days with me and anythings possible

as a thought my bike is black and the black wheels have been semi polished so as to break up the black a little

imho 2 much black is too dreary

I think the black k5 looks great, but i think the black frame on the other colours doesnt look so good. I still think they look great, but i prefer the silver frame on all but the black sv's.

I would imagine there will be 2 opinions on the frames, or at least there have been in other threads relating tothe k5.

Cheers for the opinions. Think the K5 might be the way to go though I would REALLY like to get out on the road on two wheels sometime soon, even in the middle of winter.

K5 is the way forward mate, even though alot of people dont like it, i think it looks the dogs danglies.

Specially with lowers on, it will look damn good!
