presentation of the SV 650 N 2006
the little Suzuki twin already had quite a temperament... it's even more so on this 2003 version of the SV. As lively as ever, and even slightly more powerful, it offers a wide rev range and imperial driveability, allowing you to get out of corners with velocity. Braking is as effective as ever from the front, but the rear has become much more disappointing. Neutral, precise steering, a waspish waistline, featherweight and compact dimensions make this toy a diabolical tool. The chassis is said to be stiffer, as is the suspension, which claims to be more efficient; but once in combat on our "happy" roads, the new bike plays no better than the old one, its suspension still lacking in efficiency. Even more supple and docile thanks to fuel injection, the twin allows you to roam around, something the rest of the machine seems to have forgotten: the fork springs are harder, the seat less thick and plush, and the legs more bent. In short, when it comes to comfort, the old bike was more user-friendly. Easy to ride and very playful, the SV is nevertheless a jealous companion who only reluctantly tolerates a passenger: the slice-of-loaf folding seat is a cause for divorce. The design has become more aggressive, succumbing to "edge design" with its aretes and sharp angles, in stark contrast to the organic shapes of the previous generation. That's a matter of taste - but the mill is an affair of the heart!
since 2005, the SV has been made up to stay in fashion. Like the sports bikes, the frame and swingarm are painted matte black. A small body-colored windscreen overhangs the headlamp, adding to the roadster's cachet.

Note that there's no indicator of which gear is engaged (1 to 6). The same goes for the fuel gauge: you need to keep an eye on the fuel warning light, which is the only indicator of how much fuel is left. The bike is still very satisfactory in terms of looks, comfort, safety and performance for a young rider! Rating : 4/5 Respond to Nike
i'm very happy with it, it's a great bike for cruising over mountain passes, there's more than enough potato to go around given the current legislation, and it's got a great handle too. Rating : 5/5 Respond to sv73
C'est dans les sinueux que les bicylindres s\'exprimer les mieux, right ! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Yomacagi
Great bike for beginners Rating : 5/5 Respond to Nico du 15
apart from the fragility of the handlebar halves, it's faultless. Rating : 5/5 Respond to cddam
Maybe mine (SVN 2006) is badly tuned
When I hit the gas, the torque isn't all that present (between 6 and 8000rpm)
In fast corners, the front end seems really light (even with the original cap).
The beast is also sensitive to poor road surfaces
If you've forgotten to wiggle before braking or accelerating in a curve, you'll need some grip to keep it on the corner
On the other hand, it's true that on winding roads, a 4-wheeler of the same displacement is glued to every bend
It's also true that my impressions of the SV were profoundly altered when a friend lent me his speed triple (955i 3-cylinder) during his vacations ..

i got 222 on the odometer, but that's not its main advantage. Where it feels good is on small country roads, just a little suspension adjustment and it's great! Rating : 5/5 Respond to diablokill
I'm impatiently awaiting the release of a hypothetical SV800, as the 1000 is too much for my back roads (after testing). Otherwise, I'll fall back on a TRX! In short, all these good points make me forget the pain in the backside when I come back from the Pyrenees! A great bike! Rating : 5/5 Respond to peyo
MORALITE y a bon la SV!!!!! Rating : 5/5 Respond to cochonou
I'm 18 in 2 months and I'm about to get my big cube license.I've been wondering for a long time what kind of machine I was going to get.18 years old so "young driver", more clearly "34hp" and yeah, that's crazy despite being 18, I've been riding for 10 years and by reading every little magazine and page on the net, I'm sure I won't make a mistake buying an sv.Personally, I prefer the look of the 2003 model and that LED brake light... A miracle... What's important to remember is that we're saying goodbye to carburetors, and hello to fuel injection... Well, I'll leave you to it, long live motorcycling, and watch out on the roads!

The seat is easy to get used to, and the folding seat is best reserved for a strapped-in bag ;-)
otherwise, the only complaint I have is why they stopped using the orange color? it looked great with it. Rating : 5/5 Respond to zZeNeZz
