2005 Suzuki SV1000S review from United Kingdom
"Great sound, great look, great bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing has gone wrong at this time.
General comments?
This bike has great torque and drive out of corners.
The handling is very good, and the feedback from the suspension and tyres gives you confidence.
The running costs are not cheap, but this is expected from a 1 litre sports bike.
The seat can be uncomfortable, but not much more than you would expect from most modern sports machines.
The big V twin engine gives great real life use of the power for the road.
