Suzuki revive beloved SV650 V-twin platform for mid-size SV-7GX sports tourer priced from £6999
- Thread starter Noobie
- Start date
211 kg for a 650 V-twin? Why so heavy??
I was given a SV 650 as a loan bike once while my 1290 Superduke was having a service. When I saw it I felt like taking the bus home. I expected to ride it home as quickly as it could manage, shove it in the garage and forget about it until my bike was ready. I ended up blatting about on it all day and actually got quite attached to the little thing.
I wouldn't have bought one. It looked cheaply built, it wasn't very comfortable and it was ugly as sin. But it was surprisingly good fun to ride.
That one is better but it still looks like two of Suzuki's other models have been cut and shut together. At least they're still making a middleweight V-twin and haven't completely sold out to soulless Chinesey parallels like some I could mention...
