Hi and welcome to the site!

There was a thread about the new bike a little while ago here I think it was the black frame that polarised opinons There's some more pics in that link too.

Laters...

Horrible. That square trellis frame and the sharp lines are just annoying. I think I'll stick with my naked 2000.

I do like the idea of the small wind deflector. I was thinking about getting the one from the Ducati S4r until the dealer told me the sticker price.

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but the '05 SV650 has a narrower radiator, 40 mm narrower.

Default 05 SV

Yep, I sure did and I like the black wheels too. I'm not sure about the all black frame though.
Seems like Suzuki is trying to blend the frame into the motorcycle. That SV frame is what I like the most and I like it to really stand out. Thats why I believe the silver or cast aluminim looks better.
Just my .02 pence worth.
It might look better with an all black paint scheme silver engine combo.
Im referring to the Naked version, the better looking one of course.

looks like that'll be the bike for taking your das on instead of bandits and hairnets

it looks cheap and just plain ugly.

Yes, I suppose your right, even some people don't look good Naked!
But some do and thats why Suzuki made the Naked SV650.

a naked sv with a shiny frame is a nice bike.

it's just the black frame, it looks like an older bike or a rusty bike covered in hammerite

Default radiator

about time they did something about the radiator width. what's the point of riding a narrow twin with a vented scaffold plank across the frame ?
