Hi

Had a nice supersports bike whizz past me the other morning. It was blue and white (suzuki?), with a single can on both sides. The rear lights were two vertical strips of LED's. It looked Cool

and sounded Twisted Evil

. Anyone know? Would love to get myself one of these when I pass my test!

Cheers

Deano

Thats the one. Nice bike. Didn't realise it was a 1000cc though. Bit of a jump from a 125. Sad

The 650 version is very similar, although with only one can as standard. They are often recommended as good first big bikes.

Cheers. Found a picture of the SV650 on Google. Do you know how much they change hands for?

Depends on the age (brand new or second hand).

Google SV650 or Suzuki dealers to find out prices.

If you shop around you can get a new one for £4k, second hand I think they start at about £2500.

I'm now considering an SV650 instead of a GS500F now. It seems like a good bike to get second hand.

Sounds like the bike for me then! Just wish I had the money to take my test and buy a SV650 now Rolling Eyes

I've ridden an SV650, bloody good little bikes, handle like there on rails!

I would certainly have one over a GS500!

I heard they are dead slow, my mate passed one on his Mito.

My Mums boyfriend has an SV1000 and it is pretty hot Cool

The 650 is a great step up, but not as good looking, and just odd, to me.
Like my Mums Fazer, odd.... I dunno, just my opinion.
