Yes, it looks like it needs to go on a diet. And those holes look weird.

I don't mind it but I prefer the pointy one.

I don't like them with fairing lowers but prefer the curvy over the pointy.

[MarJay]

It looks better with a half fairing, but the curvy SV's haven't aged well really.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[JonnyFoxtrot]

I think pretty much all SV650's are hideous to be honest.

A bit generic.

They are a real wart of a bike.

First impressions, in comparison to the new shape, is they are ugly. But, like warts, they do grow on you and I think they look great now. So much so that I would prefer these over the angular new shape.

[Joncrete Cungle]

I wouldn't say ugly, but far from a thing of beauty. I would ride / own one if the price was right.

[AlexW]

I have a curvy SV, I wouldn't say its ugly, but nor would I say its preety, Its OK.

That lower fairing isn't the nicer style.

[Dean-J]

Sv's are marmite bikes, personally i quite like em, actually miss mine in a funny kinda way!

[G]

Never thought they looked good.
Boring bikes, but often good value and make an excellent bike in many cases.

[Matt-]

Nice to see, even poll results

It is quite ugly but at the same time it would not stop me buying one, I see an SV650 as a possible upgrade option.

[nowhere.elysium]

Suzuki went through a massive phase of producing bikes that look partially digested, and the curvy SV is just one of those.
Personally, I like SVs, although I'd never accuse the curvy of being a pretty bike.

I think its one of those bikes which is bordering ugly, but i would still own them because of how much value for money you get.

[Fifteen15]

Prefer the faired pointy by a mile. The curvys imo look a lot nicer in real life than photos though.

Better than the half faired curvy sv, which is pretty bad, in my mind. The pointy ones are nice but the curvy ones just look unbalanced and... too unappealing. And this is coming from someone who rides a semi faired hornet; seemingly a travesty according to other hornet riders I know.

[RichieZX6R]

I dont mind them to be honest. Dont think there are many ugly bikes as standard.. what people do to them on the other hand...

They're pretty bad, but I do quite like the look of the pointies.
Now there's a blue and white early/mid 90s GSX600f that parks near me at work and that epitomises everything that's wrong with curvy bikes. Really does just look lardy. Hell, the fuel tap is like a plate!

Before anyone mentions it, I am aware GPZ500s aren't particularily considered sexy
