    5 Stars Great first, second, or tenth bike! 05/06/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Price, looks, power, easy to ride.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Speeding tickets, you'll want another one to park beside it!

    After spending far too long admiring other peoples' motorcycles and wondering how great it would be to finally learn how to ride one myself, I decided this was the year I was finally going to learn to ride. Okay, seriously, I turned 30, almost had a nervous breakdown, and decided I needed a little more excitement in my life so I bought a bike. There, honesty works every time. After passing the local motorcycle safety course and getting my licence, I decided to research everything I could on a good first bike. Initially deciding to go with a Kawasaki EX500 (good first bike, nice handling ... more

    5 Stars Suzuki SV650(s) : Simply..a damn good bike 27/04/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Light, economical, easy to ride and fun. Comfortable too.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sound with standard can! Niggly quality issues..

    After my Z750 was written off (not pleased!) I had to find a replacement bike. I eventually decided to get an SV650s. I plumped for a used 2000 model "curvy" SV (as pictured) I'll sum it up pretty easily for you guys Engine Carbed Vtwin with a 650cc (near enough!) capacity. Pulls well from between 2000 and 10,000, anything higher is wasted breath. Has no problem starting in the mornings which is nice from the previous carbed bike I owned. Sounds meaty with an aftermarket can, with the standard bazooka tube it sounds like a lawnmower. Handling and brakes My particular one has Hagon progressive ... more

    5 Stars Suzuki SV650 - What a great bike full stop Diamond review 30/11/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Brilliant first / budget bike, sporty all rounder, mid-range grunt, cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Budget suspension, budget feel

    I passed my Direct Access test in 2002, and was looking for a newbie friendly bike to get some miles under my belt, and do the commuting to work. Having no prior experience, I needed a user friendly bike with a bit of poke to keep me interested. The logical choice was the Suzuki SV650. Dubbed by RiDE magazine as the best first bike ever, and lauded by many other mags as a great budget bike, I had to find out more. The bike is light 170kg, has 70bhp, and a good spread of torque from low down. It comes as a naked bike the SV650 and a half faired 's' version. These differ slightly in foot peg and ... more

    5 Stars SV650.The complete middleweight 07/10/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast and Furious meets MR smoothie

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a lot

    I own a 2002 SV650s and i must say that the bike cant be praised enough in my opion. The SV650 is the new kid on the block and you wont go far wrong if you buy one.The SV650 is fast becoming one of the best middleweight bikes around and deservedly so. With the V at an angle of 90 degrees there is plenty of torque on tap and plenty of acceleration when required. The SV650 produces about 70BHP at the back wheel at it lays it on the tarmac with greatest of ease.The best part of the range is from 3rd gear thru to 5 th gear when you can really feel the bike getting the power down and hear the roar ... more

    5 Stars The best starter bike ever built! 10/04/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, easy to ride, insurance friendly, great first bike

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Build quality, when you park it next to a 900 or 1000cc, you'll want rid

    As a 22 year old who has always been into biking i decided to do my full test last september. I passed 2nd time (had trouble with a u turn in the wet on 1st!) and set about looking for my first 'big' bike. On a budget of about £2500 i had a fair few choices - the insurance companies managed to cut these choices down to 3 or 4 for me! In the end it came down to a choice between a 51 reg SV650S for £2400 or a R reg Yamaha Thundercat for £2300. I rode both and for me, the SV won hands down - so i bought it! As a first bike, you dont have to worry about squeezing the brakes too hard and locking ... more
