2004 Suzuki SV650 review from United Kingdom
"An excellent all rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The only real thing that has gone wrong is the battery going flat when left in my garage for about a week without it being started, so I bought an Oxford Maximizer, which keeps the battery fully charged no matter how long I leave it without starting.
General comments?
The model I have is the "s" version k4 with the half fairing in blue, which in my opinion is the best colour for it.
As this is my first bike, it is perfect for the beginner to gain the much needed riding experience on.
The acceleration of the bike is excellent for this category of bike, but the top speed is nothing to write home about.
