Dear Bikers,

The SV650S by Suzuki is awesome........... I have never riden a bike before, i decided i wanted to ride and went for it............ passing my test 3 weeks ago.

i paid 1450 quid for a yellow SV from a lovely lady from ebay.....the bike just screamed at me to buy it.....or more like grunted at me.

so here i am an sv owner and wearer of the biggest grin in the north of england.

This bike is awesome, it sounds the business and is so confidence inspiring, my brother has been riding sports bikes for 4 years, but the thought of me owning a true sports just brought up images of mangled motorcycles and broken limbs!!

so i plummed for this bike having read a few reviews about its handling quality......and i am not diappointed.

having cautiously rode the bike for er..........5 minutes i was off......down the road trying my best to look good on the twisties and to my amazement my very own brother who's a man of few words was quite impressed by my cornering ability for someone of my inexperiance.

i have no knee sliders yet, but i recon in another couple of months with this bike i recon i will either have fell off or have something my means or a scrape on my sliders to show my mates in the pub.

the power of the bike of the mark can be a handful for someone with little or no experience........trust me, my bro nearly fell off his bike laughin at me when i wheelied my bike unexpectedly after flicking the clutch!! not for the faint hearted!!

i have a scorpian can on mine and to say it turns heads is an understatement!! it certainly gets the neighbours curtains twitching at 5.30am!!

thats when im off to work about 15 miles away and the bike is very comfortable for the daily commute. the only slight problem is the height of the wing mirrors which sometimes get in the way of the knob in the white van who wants to take up both lanes!!

a quick flick of the mirror usually sorts the problem tho!!

All in all, if you buy this bike for the fun factor you will not be disappointed.....for the daily commute, you will not be diappointed..........for the sports/racing you may find the top end not too powerful, but its pleasing and you will soon catch that GSXR600 on the twisties and just annoy the rider until he makes a mistake trying to hard to shake you off!!

go get one.........you will love it!!

Summary: awesome. get one.
