whats the best thing about the sv650

[ethariel]

The ability of the SV to force people to put the kettle on.

(Because they can hear you coming half a mile away)

/Big Grin still

Grin factor

It ain't fast and it doesn't handle all that well, but it really brings out the hooligan in me.

Such good value for money, so many good features for it's price, pretty decent engine (well I like it at least ), as Lozzo says the grin factor, it sounds amazing on overrun and it still gets cheap insurance too! and quite often can be found on 3 years 0% finance, what better start to biking could you want? (not to suggest its only for starting of course )

can surprise other riders as you pass them!

the best thing about the sv? its parked in my garage......

ha de ha very funny....you can start making your owns brews
its amazing how the exhausts of either the sv or the raptor two miles away makes my dogs bounce around in excitment cause someones coming to our house

I like the torque - always plenty there for not needing to change down a gear for corners or you can use the gearbox more and really launch it out of bends. But probably the best thing is that nobody expects that much of it and it'll still thrash most cars and other bikes if ridden properly.

you make them sound that good I'll have to get another
But not a pointy

Best thing?

They make a superb race bike. Pity it cost's best part of 8 grand to get it to that point.
