Suzuki Sv650

Does this look familiar? Wonder how these two bike compare, it seems to sell for a bit more, but it has abs.

I Have Seen One At The Dealer Here. They Are Similar But The Suzuki Is A V Twin And Sits Alot Lower To The Ground. That Would Not Work For Me.

It is also slower.
However it does have more torque down low, and I would love to ride one back to back to compare them.
In my opinion our bike looks more finished than the sv, but the sv does look good.
I mean the little stuff, like the way the bars look, the way way the gauge cluster looks, stuff like that.

I've never been a huge fan of V-Twins but they do have great low end torque. Some of the compaison articles I've read between the SV650 vs FZ6 said that the SV would be a better choice for a beginner due to it's easy access to the bikes low end torque but in typical Yamaha fashion, the FZ6 out performs the SV650 and the others in this class, the rider just has to be up to the challange using rev's to leave the other guys looking at his/her twin undertail exaust pipes.

im quite surprised that the times were that close given the difference in power.

Don't let the times fool you. It's actualy a pretty good spread considering the speeds and ET's. The FZ6 would be quite a few bike lengths ahead at the finish line.

Whenever I get a chance, I'm going to stop by the Suzuki dealership and check one out. I realize our bikes our faster than the SV, just kind of ironic how close they look. However, the GSX looks real sharp.

I dont know what the motivation is...but up here in Canada, we have a "Parts Canada" Superbike series and at these races they have an sv 650 cup race. I guess Suzuki is trying hard to push these bikes. No comparo to the fz though.

a guy I know has made one into a dedicated track bike. He loves it. The V engine is cool, I mean I kinda want a ducati but just cant afford one yet. LOL
