Motorcycle specifications SuzukiSVS 650 2004 The little one rebels
presentation of the SVS 650 2004
The first version of the SVS 650 hit the bull's-eye. Faced with the armada of 4-cylinder 600 roadsters (Fazer, Hornet, Bandit, etc.), Suzuki launched a lightweight sports bike powered by a brilliant twin. Less powerful than its rivals - the twin gives them back 20 hp - the SVS is nonetheless livelier, more efficient and easier to handle. A true sporty-scholar. And the new version is even sweeter. Since 2003, the SVS has sported a new frame and new styling, modelled on the 1000 (the only difference being a smaller pot and an engine cowling), and the engine is now even more powerful. Its new size gives the illusion of riding a larger-displacement bike. The seat-footpegs-handlebar triangle has been modified, making the machine less easy to handle at low speeds. This allows you to feel more at one with the machine. The larger fuel tank (1 L) is slimmer around the thighs.
already supple, the twin is now even more so, with its dual-throttle injection (as on the GSX-R 1000) and more muscular acceleration. The mill breathes with joy, and has better extension... and the old one was already impressive for this type of engine. The twin picks up from 3000rpm, and gets seriously revved up from 7 to 9000rpm. A real treat! suzuki has finally given its little moth a fork worthy of its potential. New springs bring satability on imperfect roads. The SVS enters corners more naturally and progressively, aided by tires that are more efficient than the old Metzelers. Apart from the design, which is a matter of taste, what's not to like about the new SVS? The increased fuel consumption, perhaps... certainly not the ejector seat reserved for the passenger. But overall, Hamamatsu's little moth has become more powerful, holds the road better, protects better and... what are you waiting for to try it out?

Thank you for your answers! V à tous amis(ies) motard(arde) Rating : 5/5 Respond to supremmonkeyy sur Twitch
I'm having the time of my life with this bike. The V-Twin is terrific, responding like a dream.
Vmax: 212 km/h. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Yo Dx
It's light and has a nice sporty look. For the price, I don't regret it. It lifts at green lights!
DEFAULT: the tires! on wet ground. I can't wait to fit the michelin pilot road 4s. TOP
Also the fork becomes mole if you brake hard. not too much to ask for the price! you forget that it's not a real sports bike because the position is made to look like one.
Range 275kms even if it flashes at 230kms.
When driving reasonably 300kms
very good choice, whether or not you're waiting for the 1000 gsx-r. Bonne route et prudence
Rating : 4/5 Respond to beber
The small modifications to the fuel injection are great.
At 90/110 km/h, my fuel consumption is 3.6 l/100 km
Then this face !!! I'm delighted Rating : 5/5 Respond to indianajones
All in all, a good bike, perfect for a young rider with a limited budget. I'm still using it when I can, while waiting to switch to another bike that I'll use more often (otherwise there's no point in changing). Bravo Suzuki! Rating : 4/5 Respond to Olysk
i'm 20 years old and I've had my 650 SV s for 1 year. It's my 1st big cube (but my 6th two-wheeler)
It's a superb bike, very pleasant and fun to ride. I recommend it !!!
negative points: -not made for long rides ( hard seat and "sporty" position )
-average front braking...
For the rest, only good ( even in duo )
Ideal for beginners, but also for attacking... Rating : 4/5 Respond to marko
All I have to say is that the fork is a little too soft, and you have to get to grips with the beast before you can really enjoy it.
Cosmetically, I love it, but the new models are really great
A very good bike for beginners, not too expensive in terms of insurance and fuel consumption. When it comes to servicing, it's quite economical. That's all there is to it, bon route to all and V TWIN. Rating : 5/5 Respond to ELMOBLO
This bike doesn't like water, I've had a few problems with the bike cutting in the middle of the road, it's frustrating :s a correct riding position but certainly tiring in the long run, my passenger doesn't fill up much at the rear (it must depend on the people) brakes are average even if you don't use them very often because of the rather heavy engine brake (it's not unpleasant for me, you just have to know how to dose it).
Choosing the right tires is very important in my opinion, as is checking the pressure. In my case, 1.9 at the front and 2.2 at the rear, and they grip pretty well with Michelin pilot road tires, but the best thing about this machine for me is its engine, which is very pleasant at low and medium revs, almost as smooth as a four-wheeler at 3000 rpm, but the engine screams when you hit the red zone What for??? Its noise is very pleasant I think for the original, maybe for the style then. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Nico35
A superb bike to start with, and quite economical too
Long live the twin-cylinder. Rating : 5/5 Respond to alex
a little, but it'll take it without a hitch
at 145km/h is around 230km before the reserve
reserve, now at 2500km, and having tested it on all types of track, the only criticism I can make is that the front suspension isn't stiff enough for my taste, but even when up against 600 fulls, the sv has a chance against them in the low and mid-range, unbeatable in the mountains, and I've easily put a speed four on it. Rating : 5/5 Respond to twin-vince
The other big plus point of this bike, in my opinion, is fuel consumption, because even if you pull it just right, the reserve indicator lights up at around 240-260kms, and I've been known to do 290kms and only put 14L in the tank, so there was 3 left
All in all, this bike is great, really good for beginners, easier to use than any 4-cylinder and much more economical in every way. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Ony
mill doesn't exceed 8000rpm with 34hp on tap
we're at 155km/h, not bad for a start, especially as the sensations are there
we'll see what happens with a kn and a muffler. Rating : 5/5 Respond to twin-vince
already at 110 and between 3000 and 5000rpm it revs up nicely still to be seen after the 1000km running-in period. Headlight call to all.TWIN-VINCE
Rating : 5/5 Respond to twin-vince
then I do these 500 km and even though I can feel the saddle, it's far from uncomfortable: hard, of course, but not inhuman either. Rating : 5/5 Respond to NC
i'm very happy with the chassis and V-twin behavior, even if you have to be careful not to lock the wheel when downshifting!
on the other hand, I'm less happy with reliability: during the warranty period (fortunately!!), the clutch cable broke, a fork seal started to leak oil, and the injection ECU screwed up (the engine would cut out while rolling, which in first or second gear would cause the rear wheel to lock up!... a real pain in the ass!...)
well, I haven't had any problems since, I really love it to the point that I'd like to replace it because it's starting to have a lot of bollards, but I don't know what to get instead (in the same price/performance category, of course)
obviously)
i've installed a leovince exhaust system that lets out a magnificent sound, and i've removed that horrible original mud flap. i've also changed the transmission ratio (one tooth less on the gearbox output sprocket), which allows me to have more "frite" because i use it a lot in the mountains, and top speed doesn't interest me. on the other hand, be careful, in this situation, it's easy to find yourself on the rear wheel in first gear (even without playing with the clutch!)

i bought myself the SV 650 S model 2006 2 weeks ago, as my second bike, I stayed with suz since I had a Bandit from 2002, I've had my big cube for 5 years, and 2 1/2 years I've been riding it every day!
What a pleasure to buy this SV! No more constant shifting, no more front end that you can't feel (long live the bracelets!)
Driving position: wears out after 200 kms, and after 50 kms on really rough roads
Braking: Top-notch, relatively progressive, with plenty of bite if you pull on it, enough to do 2/3 inters ..
Engine: Good throttle response, good torque, and good roar above 6500rpm, but a little lacking at mid-range
Duo: Let's just say that it's not the best, so you'll have to fit the little monster with a more comfortable saddle (Bagster), but don't take the seaster (only 1 saddle), have your original saddles covered, it's more aesthetic, so you can keep on riding with your little wife!
Fuel consumption: Well, it depends on your riding style. If you're on the go, you'll do 130 / 140 kms, if not, you'll do 210 / 220 kms (but when you're out and about ...)
By the way, the chassis is top-notch, and the fork a bit soft on the original setting
Hi all and have a good ride, and for those who are hesitating with the mické style hornet bikes, don't hesitate, go for an SV650S or SV1000S (they should fit well too .. )
V to all! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Quentin
P'tit moins: the original saddle sucks. We've got one from Bagster and it's just fine!
Have a good ride! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Toguie27
I've had this bike since April 2005 and I'm very happy with it! Impressive engine character, very good handling, excellent braking... the only downside, as everyone says... The driving position is hard and the comfort is not that ... Personally, I'd advise you to get a TOP SELLERIE saddle!
Performance figures
The Miène has 9500 kms on the clock
- 1st -> 85km/h
- 2nd -> 115km/h
- 4th -> 180 km/h
Personal top speed 238 km/h under the bubble with full throttle !!!!
In terms of acceleration, I drop off on the first 200
- Honda hornet ( the buddy )
- Hayabusa (dad)
It's up to you... this bike is a little monster that will appeal to young licence holders and bi enthusiasts alike
See you all! Rating : 5/5 Respond to biloutedu7
i've just finished running it in, and frankly, it's a real pleasure to ride: enormous torque (for a medium-displacement bike) at 3500rpm, and from 7500rpm onwards, it's off like a lightning bolt (even better than the old version, thanks to the fuel injection), all the way to the red zone, reaching a top speed of 225km/h, which is not at all ridiculous for the displacement. And what's more, it's longer, unlike the Hornet, which grinds and makes noise but gets nowhere! Very precise on corner entry, thanks to its new chassis and low weight. All this for a very reasonable price, perfect for young riders who want to stand out from the crowd with a bike that looks and performs like no other twin. Rating : 5/5 Respond to twinforeve
For an almost beginner, is this bike ideal to get back in the saddle, 90% city commuting + weekends, the riding position is not too sporty, little understanding I think this will be my last bike before retirement)
Thanks for your advice
A+ Rating : 5/5 Respond to patrickcez
Ideal bike for a young license holder: light, you don't even feel it between your legs, it's like riding a bike... except that you still reach 210 meters (not a bad bike...)
Plus points
- a hellish acceleration, even at low revs (3-4,000), with an extra boost at 8,000 rpm
- reasonable fuel consumption (6.5 l/100 km, even with a little throttle)
- simple maintenance
Minus
- heavy engine braking, which is surprising at first (especially for those following an SV and relying on the taillight to negotiate curves in their turn!)
- limited range: roughly 220 km on a full tank
- the front cylinder's waterproofing leaves much to be desired: in wet weather (or high humidity), water runs from the front wheel to the cylinder and drowns it. As a result, the bike's handling is dangerous on slippery roads. The defect seems to have been corrected on the latest models, with the addition of a mud flap (which you can add yourself, by the way)
- headlight adjustment, which is impossible without dismantling the fairing (annoying!). Speaking of headlights, don't count on them to illuminate much of the road ahead (mind you, we've never asked a sporty roadster to play Alexandria headlights)
- a passenger position on SVS models that's uncomfortable as can be: hard saddle tips and high footrests. The sobriquet "frog" to describe the passengers has never been more deserved
- still on the S version, the rider's position is tiring in the long run (wrists aches), and the saddle is too hard (frequent stops recommended)
- the absence of a center stand (though practical for oil changes and levels)
But even so, the SV is a charmer
If I had to do it all over again... I'd choose the same one! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Vroum38
1 only hitch, the position is tiring, but it's a pleasure to drive. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Pierrot2b
(one major flaw is that after an hour on the bike, my ass is skinned) Rating : 5/5 Respond to foggy
don't push it kan meme ya ke 70 poneys

I have a 650SVS it's my first bike. I like it only one regret the color ;)
i want to put a devil high exit if someone has a picture it would be simpa to send it to me
As for the look, I'm adding a sabot, a wheel arch with integrated turn signal and a wheel leche. Ca fait deja pas mal :))) Rating : 5/5 Respond to captaine c
