Default Is the Suzuki SV650S a good motorcycle? Any owners? Thinking of getting one.?

I have some cruiser experience and two years of dirtbike experience so I'm good there, I'm not really experienced which is why I'm curious about this bike, otherwise I would be looking at a CBR600RR. Anyways are there any happy owners of the SV650S out there?

The SV650s is a very well rounded motorcycle. All day comfortable and fairly sporty. I don't own one myself but three of my friends own them and they love them. They are also rated very high by motorcycle magazine editors.

You will certainly enjoy the bike. I have tracked a 650 for two yrs now and rode several while working at large dealership. The twin power plant really rides well on the sport chassis. Plus there are huge amounts of mods out there for the Suzuk. The torque'y personalty of the twin makes it bold in a bold ride in traffic and country hills, plus it'll jump out of the corners for ya. The CBR you mentioned is a in-line 4 cylinder known for high-reving top-end. I owned one for a few yrs. I also loved it. You really should go to dealership and sit them in the show room. Decide which fits y our riding personality.

From what i heard they are nice bikes. I personally like superbikes but i hears the SV is good both in performance and for touring. They always rank high in magazine and consumer ratings. I think that if you wanna good all around bike then it's a good choice. The RR on the other hand is a race bike. if you are looking to drag knees in corners and go 150mph then don't expect the SV to accomplish it.
