For me the SV was a 1st bike and I definitely decided on it because I didn't want a naked bike. But if I was simply going on budget I would have considered a naked. Are they better than some of the naked bikes for similar money? I don't know about that. Edit: Sorry, just wanted to add that the SV's engine is in my opinion much more exciting than the ER6. The bike has bags more character, but not because of the porridge suspension. The sound is just a million times better and the torque is great. But, again, these are the bits of the bike that Suzuki got absolutely right 1st time! Last edited by Runako; 30-09-13 at 01:40 PM. |

just my 2 pence on this current conversation
most common things said about SV's 1/ there cheap 2/ the engine is full of character 3/ it lets you get away with murder when you first start rideing eg the perfect 1st big bike therefore if you "upgrade" the forks and rear shocks from there porrigey goodness then add more focused less spongey brake you will have 1/ there more expensive (even if its just a few hundred quid) 2/ the engine has still got great character 3/ not as first big bike friendly as the previous incarnations so in essence youve lost 2 of the 3 main reasons for buying a SV in the first place, SV's grow as your biking experiance grows, you start of basic then when you improve you improve the bike, a mutual uprgading of ability and equipment can you seriously disagree ? |
