I bought an 03 sv650s early last year for my first street bike and, in my opinion, it's the perfect first bike for someone already somewhat comfortable on 2 wheels. It's fast enough to be fun, keeps up with 600s to 60/70mph and slow enough to keep you out of serious trouble. I've beat on it almost daily and it still runs great at 56k miles. I just bought an fz09 to replace it and I'm having second thoughts about selling my sv now. Hard to justify owning 2 street bikes, but I know I'll miss it if i sell it.

Not a fan of these more modern naked bikes with their stubby rear and hunchback front end. They also look very smal when viewed from sideways. On the other hand the SV keeps its longer profile which really makes it stand out of the bunch aesthetically. It may not look as pretty as other nakeds when standing alone but with a rider on, it is one of the best looking IMO.

I don't have that particular bike but do have a 2015 Suzuki V-Strom 650. It has been equipped with the motor the SV650 has. The bike itself is an absolute blast to ride. It catches peoples' eyes wherever I take it and gets compliments; even from the Harley riders. The instant I sat on it, I knew I needed to do a test ride. The test ride turned into making an offer and the rest is history. I haven't had any second thoughts about it. This bike and I were a match made in motor heaven. :) Prior to settling on the V-Strom 650, I test rode almost 2 dozen bikes of different varieties. Some are definitely future purchases or rentals whereas others left me with an aching lower back and bad hip cramps.

Well I just went into (or came back from) a dealership, looking at new Bikes... the one that suits me is the V-Strom 250 SX, but it's a little too stiff, and tall... I sat on Gixxer 150 and 250's and discovered there would be no way I can comfortably change gear or use the rear brake because of the wings on the fuel tank (my legs are too long) a couple of other brands in the 400cc range were too short, and I couldn't get comfortable without the inevitable sliding forward in the seat & crushing myself! But the SV650... while it looks the best out of all the bikes I was looking at, I felt was just a bit much to do the 3 point turn on my back deck where I would park it. even though it was the best looking, and by far the most comfortable for me. It needs to be a bit lighter for what I will be doing... If only they would put the little 26hp 250cc single from the Baby Gixxer and V-strom SX in that frame... I would buy one of those in a heartbeat!

You can put two pistons in parallel, spread the crank pins 90° apart. Or..... You can put two pistons on the same crankpin, and spread the cylinders 90° apart. There's no difference in the BOOM BOOM BOOM pattern exiting the tail pipe. Guess which one is less expensive to manufacture? Is more compact? Doesn't burn your thighs? Allows longer swingarm? Doesn't fill the sparkplug well with dirt and water? Cost less to service? Makes overall packaging easier?
