I had two nice FZ6's but a wanted a twin V-2 or a I-2 so I found a Guy on craigslist that wanted to trade his 2006 silver Suzuki sv1000s . The bike is fast!!!!! with alotta torque and 122 H.P. It was a even trade he's happy and so am I.

I'll be taking it to NOLA Motorsports Park in New Orleans next weekend for a track day and Mardi Gras.
 
SWEET! I've got NOLA on my track day list for this year. It looks killer! I'll probably go with Ride Smart.

We want a report! :D

My wingman rides a SV1000S and after 200 miles he's done. He says his neck starts to kill him.

He's faster on the straight aways but I kill him in the corners ;)

I would be done after 100 miles maybe less only about 20-30 minutes at a time is all I can handle, but I'm ****in' 56

Interesting, the SV is a few pounds lighter than the FZ6 with fully adjustable suspension front and back so I would say you're a faster rider! :D
 
I just got back from a 100 mile ride on the best road in texas its like the dragon tail . I have too say the sv1000 one of best handling bike I ever rode. It's so easy to ride fast because of the massive low and mid range torque and wide power band
 
Any idea about fuel consumption/tank range yet.
Each year i run a trip to the South of France, about 3000 miles in a week (so feeling knackered after 100 miles isn't an option). I was thinking of going for an SV1000 naked next but need something that doesn't need filling up every 100 miles.

There are lots of bikes that are better handling than a big SV, but it IS a great all around bike that is tons of fun to ride and ride fast. Just pls keep the reins pulled back a little while you get used to the new found torque. Last thing we want is for you to get hurt.:thumbup:
 
Did your insurance sky rocket? You have me looking at an sv1000 now..... I found an older one i really like and i can afford :)
 
:( No one wants to trade with me down here... Jerk :p

Lol, I was so sad when Suzuki stopped making the SV's. It's really what I wanted instead of the FZ6.

Not that I don't love my FZ6 too... But, getting outbid by a guy on craigslist for the SV650 was a sad day.
