We took this pic in Germany last year, to show folks at home the prices over there. Note, though, that the bike is shown as being only 72 ps, about the same BHP as the 650, so be careful if looking for one abroad!

The hornet is definatley quicker and has better brakes, personally I think the SV is more fun.

(maybe bike) with very experinced test riders mostly on the basis of being more fun, after all on paper the SV looks rubbish. Also it is cheaper than the hornet |

The reason for the "

![]() ![]() ![]() however given enough experiance the true nature of the SV is forth coming. if the sv had been as limited as some might suggest, it wouldn't have kept me happy for 3 months let alone the 2 1/4 years it did. Cheers Mark.

I guess it's getting something that's right for you at the end of the day, and I must say that the SV suits me really well. The main problem I have is that mine's starting to rack up the miles and you have to admit the 97 design and package is becoming outdated vs the new kit out there. But what to get afterwards??
Pointy SV not bad but doesn't really grab me like the curvy one did, plus would be nice to have better quality finish/brakes/suspension. Have been offered several newer sports bikes as swap for Etienne's TL, but just don't fancy them - especially when the SV has more kick in town that most sports 600s. Triumph 675 looks good but no underseat storage, R6 nice but sounds a bit too track focused. New GSX-R750 is a possible. In terms of functionality, probably something like the CBR600F or VFR800 would suit best, but they are not the prettiest things out there compared to some of the supersports bikes! Why do you have to sacrifice looks for any real world usability?? Perhaps I should wait til Suzuki bring out the third generation SV - any ideas when that might be ![]() |
