2003 Suzuki SV650 review from Australia
"I just love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing.
General comments?
I love this Suzuki - it goes really well, is fast and cheap, and handles excellently, although it could do with a stickier tyre formulation.
It is also an excellent commuter - narrow and with mirrors that are not at the average car mirror height, so it's perfect for trickling down the lanes between the tin tops.
The seat is a bit too hard, though, for long miles, and I have to take a break after every hour to hour and a half to flex the legs and wrists.
