Needs moar fairings!


I had a 2007 and 2009 SV650SF and loved them.

Great bikes.

Reworked Gladius.

Suzuki took a beautiful motorcycle (SV650) and tossed it down the ugly tree and made sure it hit every branch on the way down. Twice.

SWEET!

Love my 2004!

It would be cool if they reintroduced the S models.





Agree with the reworked Gladius comment, but it's a step in the right direction.  I don't think the Gladius frame was ugly anyway.  I do think the seat is ugly, however.

My 02 SV650S.  I started out on a Ninja 500, moved up to this, had a child and traded it for a 91 Miata with 40,000 miles.  The SV had 12K when I made the trade.  Ended up selling the Miata for $5k.  Only paid $5,700 for the SV at the time.

Stock suspension sucked.  I put a GSXR rear shock/spring on and emulators/springs/heavy oil up front.  Made a world of difference.  More than enough power for the street, though today it probably couldn't keep up with a dozen sedans and two dozen coupes out there.




Used a weight bench and straps to change the fork springs






Two Brothers exhaust, sounded amazing and a custom fender eliminator kit made out of an electrical outlet box.
