2003 Suzuki SV650 review from United States of America
"A unique low maintenance, high performance sleeper"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing has gone wrong with the bike.
General comments?
How is it that a bike like this is so light, yet performs like a Sports Bike. It is a standard isn't it?
Seriously though, this bike does it all. 5 minutes on the bike and I felt as comfortable riding this thing as I did riding my 06' Ninja 250.
The bike has a perfect balance of weight to acceleration ratio; very very manageable in the City, but on the freeway it leaves any car in the dust. Since it is considered a standard motorcycle, insurance is very very cheap.
Averages around 50 MPG when riding aggressively.
