The Suzuki SV650 is a legend among middleweight naked bikes. After two legendary generations, the SV went away for a few years. It was replaced by the SFV650 Gladius. Now the SV650 is back. In this video we take a look at the retro cafe racer version called the SV650X. It was released in 2018 and added a number of styling changes. 2019 Suzuki SV650X.

Probably the best sv650x review on youtube hands down. It's got everything, ride shots, the motorcycles actual sound, everything! Great job!

Got a 2021 late last June. Now at 10,000 KM. It is my 8th new bike in 42 years of riding (Including a new Harley in 1990) Now at 61 years old, I am not getting any stronger and the arthritis is kicking in pretty good. The difference of weight from my VFR1200F is huge! I find the SV650X to be the perfect weight and power for what I do now, mostly riding within 250 KM from home. I did a 1,850 KM trip in 3 days last years and I was happy to be home at the end :-) In 4 years I retire and will travel more. This is why I keep my VFR1200F but most of my riding will be with the SV around here. Would I buy it again? Hell YES!

How is the comfort on your wrists, back and neck on 100+km rides? Are those clip-ons uncomfortable? Thank you and good luck!

@@pookiewookie7679 I am now at 42,000 KM . I got a few ride of 1,500 KM + in 2 or 3 days and it is not bad . You have to stop every 150 KM for a little break but the clip-on are not as low as a GSXR or a ZX . When I travel long distance , I take my GSXS1000 anyway 🙂. You ride safe my friend .

Great Video. I have this exact 2019 SV650x. It’s 🔥! Perfect blend of naked and sport. At under 3.5 secs 0-60mph it makes for super fun but manageable. It’s my daily “escape” bike through town and some twistys and an occasional commuter that’s super easy to drive. The front has both preload adjustment and 4 caliper brakes on this 2019 SV650x model. Def get take pads as you will want to see what this naked bike can really do! Stay safe and keep ridin’💯👍🤙🏼

Hey man, I'm looking to buy a 2017 sv650 or a r3. Nearest track is 4hours away and it is a medium sized kart track. So 90% of my riding will be on the city, that's why I'm looking for a sv650 which I love since I first saw it. What can you tell me about the cornering of this bike in the track? Both of you haha

Great review. I've been meaning to get one new for a while. What do you think is a fair OTD price would be?

@ridexdrive 3 жыл бұрын

MSRP is going to be the go to price, plus taxes and fees for a current model year new one. If you can negotiate or find one cheaper, go for it! The point we were making in the video is that you can find brand new, never owned 2019 models for $2000 less in some markets. It’s the same bike sub color. Not to mention if you go for a nonX model, those get to be $3,000 cheaper and you’re still getting 95% of what you get with the X. Hope that at least helps with our thinking on pricing in this video. Either way and whatever you decide, you’ll get a great all-around bike. Thanks for the comment and view!

Yeah. The brakes were updated to 4 pistons up front vs 2 pistons for 2019. They may have also adjusted the muffler for more lean angle. That’s about it that I know of. Others should certainly chime in if I missed something. Thanks for the comment!

What about reliability? Opinions from owners that have the bike

@ridexdrive 2 жыл бұрын

The basic platform has been around for quite a while. It’s pretty reliable. I owned a last generation SV and it was rock solid. Another, reason these are so popular. However, it’s also the reason why the SV is starting to show its age. Suzuki is using an engine and setup that’s been around for over 20 years. But they are very reliable bikes.
