Das hab ich mir auch gedacht. Wirklich klasse! Neben der fahrerischen Qualität ein geiles Signal an die community, die sich regelmäßig deine vids anschaut. Tut ab, Meister schaaf👍 Und die SV ist echt ein tolles bike.

I'm still convinced that responsible speeding is possible

I do the same. They love two wheels too. Just the slower, quieter and harder version.

thanks a lot man. The Internet won't change my own standards though ;)

This is the beauty of a small displacement bike....you’re trashing it like Valentino Rossi but you’re only doing 120 km/h 😂 if this was a litre supersport bike you’re be doing over 250 km/h though in those roads you’d probably be going first gear only everywhere haha. Plus your insurance is 10 times less

dpajc056 , I rode my nephew's sv650. No, it's not a liter bike but it goes just fine in the real world. There's plenty enough to get you into trouble.

That's awesome, thanks!

thanks Marco!

Awesome!

it's super fun indeed!

Have the '17 as well, first bike. Absolutely phenomenal to ride (except the seat lol)

Jep, Vtwins and R2 (270° crank) are my favorite engines. The sound is so good and theyve got nice low end torque. Dont know why most ppl buy 4 cylinders sounding like sewing machines...

@@foob420 I spent about 15 years as a competitive road cyclist (push bike) I guess my sit bones still have calcium deposits on them from all the hours I spent in the saddle. LOL I find the seat firm but not uncomfortable. 3 hrs and no discomfort. Guess I'm weird.

@@Chris-yy7qc I've used fours, triples, and twins. I agree with your choice of twins. Fours are just supremely smooth engines without any vibration (most of them). They have a high rpm hit that's addictive.

lol

Made my Day :) :) :)

Awesome!!

it's just an odd thing I do lol

Thanks

😃😃

thanks for staying this long ;)

thanks man

thanks Bo!

Only 1 year left, buddy!!

Did you finish the college and get the bike?

Yup

I have a 2018 SV650 & put 52,000 miles on my 2006 SV650s before selling to my son both are great motorcycles

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8qPgqlqydG6pIE.html

nice

Same, 2006 sv650s. Was my first bike. Wrecked it often.

Indeed

Nice!

Thanks

thanks for the comment!

@@Schaaf It would be awesome to see you ride one with upgraded suspension

Some people advise me from suzuki, because of the poor quality. Is that true?

@@tomahawk7884 Not really. Done 30000km on mine so far, no issues. SVs are known for decades now (3 gens) as a reliable bike. Bike will last if maintained properly and not abused. Neglect and it will give issues. Suzuki is known for excellent build quality, as Japanese manufacturers in general.

thanks Javier

thanks Sam!

true that!

Yes. I did upgrade mine to the bigger one :D

Standard SV650 (non-X model) has wider bars. Just needs suspension work as most 650 segment bikes do.

haha

stimmt!

nice!

thanks for the comment

thanks

cool

nice!! Thank you!

midibudu agreed! I have delkevic ds70 on my gen 1 that’s approaching 60k miles. It comes alive when the road gets twisty.

I've got an sv1000 with dual carbon Leo Vance shorties, it sounds ridiculous

Thursdayftw the 06 model year is better than current and 2-3k... makes sense to buy used. I love mine and track it.

@@towelie4774 The 06 is fantastic, I agree. Honestly I have a bit of a hard time choosing gen 3 or gen 2, but that's personal preference.

I got an 09 V-Strom 650 and after a few years and many miles later waned something a bit sportier to add to the garage. I found a used 03 SV 650 naked in decent shape a year ago. Man is the SV a fun bike. Both bikes complement each other on the other ends of the riding spectrum.

The new engine needs some tuneup to meet the grunt of the older not resctricted ones.

@@thursdayfan Before you do, make sure to test ride a Yamaha MT-07 which also has a sublime and torquey engine, also has 44cc advantage above the SV with a fat mid-range, about 22 pounds less weight overall.

It is kph

thanks man

thanks!

Ein V-Motor ist schon was spezielles :)

it is!

you won't regret it

@@Schaaf gonna go test one. Thx!

U should check out my short video of my 2018 SV650 with K&N air filter & Hotbodies Growler slip on, 2018 Suzuki SV650 by Charles Smith

Acoustic Gearhead sounds like a sweet ride.

Gixxer forks are a must have! Did you notice much hp from the velocity stacks?

@@andreahighsides7756 From what I've read on the forums the forks aren't a must-have but more of a nice-to-have suspension-wise. Emulators or an actual cartridge conversion apparently give you most of the benefits without the massive headache that the GSX-R forks give you :D Would miss out on those sweet, sweet brakes though. I'm still fiddling with the motor side. Installing the stacks with all the other mods already in place gave a very noticeable boost in low-to-mid end torque, but at this point it needs a retune. WOT produces less power down low than half-throttle due to the engine being deprived of fuel compared to the volume of air. I ride 99% street, so I don't miss the power that has to be lost somewhere up top.

Acoustic Gearhead thats a strange fueling issue! Good luck sorting it. My 07 pulls well with snorkelectomy and a short slip on, no remap. 6th gets a bit into redline with 15/45 gearing and its strong in the low end. Maybe your bike has clogged injectors if its acting choked? Or maybe a leak in the intake. For what its worth I like real cartridge forks because you can adjust them easier than emulators. Swapping fork internals is mostly to meet race class rules.

@@andreahighsides7756 The fueling issue was expected :D It only happened after installing the stacks and only in their optimum rev-range. The engine has no issue meeting the way higher demands of the higher revs. The stock map is only set up to compensate for the environment and not for mods after all. The stacks flow a lot more air in that low range, so the mixture is too lean. Just going up into the mountains on a hot day would probably make it run as intended XD But a remap is in the works, just need to find a date for it. As for suspension, I do too, but in germany it's A LOT of hassle to make a forkswap (or shockswap for that matter) legal, you basically need an engineering degree to make it work (slight hyperbole). Thankfully I have one :D So most people just tune the stock suspension and maybe swap out the shock for an aftermarket unit and call it good. And I'd say for most people that's enough. I just never trusted the stock brakes, even after an overhaul, new pads and braided lines. On top of that the black USDs just look soooo much better ^^

Easily remedied

Yea

Thanks

thanks

Or did you used a separate device to record audio

I had the bike for this video ride only. I won't be the one who's upgrading it ;)

I'd definitely take the SV

thanks!

thanks

tokyosmash!

they are unique indeed

Jo, da war nicht die Standardbereifung oben

sorry man, I can't choose the bikes I get to ride

Ok

thanks Gary

@@Schaaf I'm curious mate, with those clip on handle bars, could you ride that for a long time (2-4 hours riding without wrist pains)? or does the wrist get tired/sore after an hour? (eg similar to sport bikes)

thanks!

Thanks

das glaub ich dir :D

nope

You cant disable ABS on this bike.

sv 650 , ich mag die yamaha gas annahme nicht

I only shift up without the clutch as you can see

@@Schaaf How many miles have you done that on this bike? Like the technique so far?

thanks a lot Marco. It was completely stock

I would much prefer to ride older bikes. But you can't get those from manufacturers. Press bikes are always the latest and current models

Schaaf ahh I see. Makes sense, well regardless love the videos you post up. Always enjoy seeing you carving up the road.

habe selbst eine sv650 (bj 2017, gedrosselt) und ich bin sehr zufrieden mit ihr ^^ hatte keine probleme bis jetzt und der Ixil hyerlow tut was er soll ^^

clutchless

@@Schaaf warum?

I've made countless videos with my own bike

Thanks

true

yes I would rather take a look at the 750 and 900 too for a bigger and more decent update ;)

Kawasaki's 650 parallel twin is a raspy vibrating machine, with the least power in the 650 twin category. There are better options.

@@exothermal.sprocket Hi! I tried one, think it was 2010 model, felt good and they are cheap, here about less than half of the cost of this new SV650. Right now I'm stuck between the Z900, GSXS750 and Hornet 600. Have you experienced any issues with the Z900?

@@dadodasler9730 I had a Z900 for a short time. Ultimately traded on MT-09. To this day I don't know which bike I like better, as aspects of both are very appealing. Z900 gave me zero issues but I didn't have more than about 1400 miles on the odo. Extremely smooth engine, very progressive power delivery, and superb throttle control. Chassis was very stable with really good feedback from the wheels. I will say the seat was too low and too hard for me (6'2") and I did initially have plans to spend the money to get a custom thick seat built to ease up some room for my long legs but traded the bike. From what I've seen online after an ECU flash and full system, with a quality set of fuel and ignition maps written in, 128-130+ whp and 73 ft-lb (wheel) torque is available. Part of me wishes I had kept it. The MT-09 has it's own set of unique circumstances to fix. That's the thing with reliable and inexpensive bang-for-buck Jap bikes. Cracking engines usually, and pitiful shortcomings in suspension, brakes, and even ECU tuning (factory, all fixable of course). Z900 suspension I found a tad jarring, stiff. I think the spring rates were maybe a tad high, but the damping quality is typical Japanese in this price range: rubbish. Factor in full-adj. fork cartridges and shock if you really want to rectify those issues. I took a demo ride on the GSX-S750 a few years ago, before it was updated recently. USA version was basically an imported Euro GSR750. It uses an older 749cc i-4 from the former GSX-R750 with proprietary cams, heads, etc. as usual. Very very smooth engine, very stable chassis, and set up better overall (radial mount calibers, etc) than the Z900 out the door, but of course, substantially less torque and potential being 200cc down. But overall a very excellent machine. I've seen them new left-over around here for $6499 advertised. I really like the 650-900cc range of machines, in all cylinder counts. I think I love barking twins the most, but do appreciate the "tuned more for torque" i-4. Z900 is just that, but doesn't disappoint in higher revs either. Carries the largest fuel capacity (one of my biggest gripes about the class I've mentioned). Z900 engine is derived from the Z1000/Ninja1000 engine with proprietary heads/cylinders/valvetrain. The Z1000/Ninja1000 was first released in 2011 and has been updated a little here and there since. 2018 Kawasaki made the 948cc version out of the 1043 mill and it was a good move. Hope they put this 950 engine into more bikes without changing any hardware or tuning (unlike the Z900RS which I wouldn't care for). Gearing on the Z900 is absolutely perfect, couldn't ask for better spread of ratios.

@@exothermal.sprocket I couldn't wish for a better reply. Thank you very much. It's always difficult to make a choice for a bike you plan to have for many years to come. I will try each of them and make up my mind. The Street Triple (2012) standard model and the new RS have crossed my mind too.

heehehe

its for a tank bag

nah

thanks Anderson

about the same

I can't tell. I only rode this one road and it isn't a real test for the suspension since it's very smooth. I was satisfied with it

soulsouljah _ It has the same damper rod forks as 20 years ago

@@andreahighsides7756 it's a budget beginner's bike and it would drive the cost up quite a bit. With that being said it's pretty good for old tech so don't get hung up on the spec sheet. I have an '18 and I love it.

Ian McDonald The only reason they keep the damper rod suspension is so it doesnt take sales away from 600ss

@@andreahighsides7756 Do they still sell the GSXR 600 & 750? In Germany,(prolly whole Europe?) only the 1000ccm is still being sold. Anyway i didnt expect a cartridge fork, but maybe stronger front springs, thicker oil or higher compression damping. nothing adjustable, just a better stock setup. Changing fork oil was the forst thing i did on my '02 SV suspension, next thing on the list is a SRAD rear shock. And i kinda dou t Suzuki has the luxury to keep distance to its own more expensive bikes. Yamahas MT07 + Kawa Z650 is outselling the SV by double the numbers in Germany.

I have no idea but I guess yes

cool!

I have just bought 2017, amazing bike, any idea for nice sound muffler?

@@Watchmaty actually yes. You can check Roadsitalia website, their mufflers are road legal UNLESS you remove the db killer, that means that you can pass the inspections without having to replace it. That bike sounds lovely anyway :)

@@Granyonky Thanks bro, great advice, will check it

It was only a testride he doesnt own the bike.

I have a 2018 SV650 3845 miles & I ride pretty aggressively & I'm averaging 42.4 mpg this is with a K&N air filter & a Hotbodies Growler slip on exhaust

yes

haahaha

My 2006 would do 150mph no problem my 2018 tops out at around 130mph different gearing I guess kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8qPgqlqydG6pIE.html

I own a '02 SV (carburator) and the torque is pretty linear, around 60Nm from 4k rpm till 10k. still 70bhp though, so so you obviously still need to push it more than a kilobike.

it felt just like a 70bhp bike feels to me
