Big improvement, you will notice a big difference between a CB and a SV, the CB650R is powerful at high revs, the SV power delivery is between low and mid RPMs, it depends of your requirements, both bikes can go pretty fast, 110 KPH is easy for a SV, I would recommend this bike, 2 years with it and still in love, I have enough power from my perspective

Hey buddy, it is only a slip on sc project shorty exhaust.

@@Hitman4President Thanks, I'll look into it. Ride safe.

No no, my speedometer was running on kmh

i would like to know as well

Like on any other naked bike.....

For me it was okay as long as you stay below 120 km/h.

Hmm, careful is always at the top of the list but, besides that, i say get more riding hours. This is crucial because we need to condition our minds with the speed, traffic, etc. I see many ppl buy a bike and ride only few times a month, or even a year. By having more riding hours, our brain can be conditioned to the speed that we want to be riding. It will get u less likely to be in that "oh shit" moment because our brain can compute the traffic flow, speed, etc. Go ride daily and at the same time, gradually increases ur speed to where u are comfortable with. Once u feel uncomfortable, slow down.

@@Hitman4President thanks man, i'll try to have as many hours as possible on the bike

Oh no, the wind. How will he ever withstand the wind 😭 LOL you people fold like paper.

Do some resistance training in the gym. Not even trolling, it helps. Throw some neck work in their too. Stronger you are, easier it will be

Yes, my Sv has been fitted with a stand alone shiftboss quickshifter. About the suspension, it is not too bad for normal city riding but if for a spirited riding, it needs a little bit of tuning because it is too soft for that purpose

@@Hitman4President thank you for sharing your modifications and insights. I find it too soft as well on spirited cornering. Cheers!

That actually means it's fast.

It’s not way to much bike. I started on an 01 gsxr 750 came from 1 summer of riding a 125cc Suzuki dirt bike. Respect the machine and you’ll be ok

@benjaminwashburn8473 think about the average meat heat who watches Chase on 2 wheels. You want that kid with an SV?

@@Audfile hey man I started on a much faster bike, im 20 years old I watch ghost rider and all those guys. I’m still alive so it’s possible to start on larger cc bikes it’s all depends on if you can respect the machine. If you can you’ll be ok if you can’t control yourself you probably don’t need to ride a bike on the road period 🙏🏼

@@benjaminwashburn8473 so did I. Would I *RECOMMEND IT*? Absolutely not. 250 all day.

@@Audfile yea 250 is nice to start on but it’s slow and boring after only a little while. I guess it depends on the type of riding style your looking for too. I always recommend a 600 to start on if the person understands they’ll be killed in a blink of an eye if they don’t humble themselves.
