2005 Suzuki SV1000S review from United Kingdom
"A really good all rounder, that does exactly what it is supposed to do"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
So far no problems.
General comments?
This is a wonderful machine. Not as quick and nimble as pure sports bikes, but it has enough power and sure footedness to keep most bikers happy and induce the grin factor. The front end does dive a bit on corners when braking, but generally it stops well.
It is easy to ride whether in town or through the mountain roads of the Pyrenees. Although a narrow bike, I find the comfort fine and I am not exactly small. The only negatives are that it could do with a slightly larger tank and a fuel gauge to enhance its touring capabilities.
