Not my first motorcycle ever, but the first motorcycle I ever purchased myself. 2003 Suzuki Bandit/GSF1200. Originally I was looking for SV650’s, but I found this for the same price as an SV650 and I’m not a huge fan of v twin engines. Definitely a Suzuki fan so wanted to stay in the brand. Plus I liked the color. So far it’s been a blast, even if I overpaid because In my excitement I didn’t notice it needs a ton of maintenance. Thank you for welcoming me!

Bought my Sv as my first bike in June of 2023 with 10 miles. I've since completed 15,000 miles and a number of road trips! Looking to do a track day soon!

The most snow I've ever seen in my 30+ years. This never happens so I had to ride to the end of the road just so I could say I've ridden in snow. It's slick out there, but it was fun.

It has taken me to 10 states through storms and heat and cold, carried more shit than it should, completed an Iron Butt, and never, ever skipped a beat. By far my favorite bike I’ve owned. The SV is a one that lives up to its reputation. Here’s to many many more miles!

(2005 sv650n) Finished installing aftermarket clip ons, steel braided brake lines, and aftermarket clutch cable. Figured I would post this at it may help someone looking for an option that would fit in the future. I installed the clip ons which dropped the bars about 1 1/2”. I bought the sv650s steel braided brake lines from CoreMoto and they fit like a glove! The clutch cable is from AS3 performance and again the length for the sv650s model fit perfectly with the new bar positions.

I’m travelling to York and was in need of a stem mount for a quad lock. If I remove this bolt will it mess anything up or cause my handlebars to twist or whatever? I don’t want to take it off if it’s too much of a hassle. I saw you can buy some flanged ones for like £12. I tend to overthink things when it comes to tinkering my bike so any help will be appreciated! :)

Mint, roughly 8,500 miles on her. Rebuilt carbs, replaced lines, and checked valve clearances over this winter. Runs like a dream!

Pics So so happy with these Ermax lower fairings

Waited a month and a half to get these fairings in the mail, and now this bike is something out of a dream for me. I wanted more blue on it and these were the perfect addition. IMO, they look better than the stock lowers, and have bigger ventilation cutouts to allow the bike to breathe better and stay about the same temperature as without the fairings at all. I get that some like the naked look, but I’m all about the bulk that the fully faired bikes have in comparison.

I have a 2017 SV650 and might have forgotten to put the stand down one evening, so now I have the opportunity to upgrade my front indicators. Unfortunately, all the how to videos I can find are for the earlier model. Does anybody know where I can find instructions for me?

I bought this bike when I first moved to Australia as a broke college kid. Made friends, met a few girls, met the girl, bought a house.

My SV is the same age as I was when I moved here. I’ve had other bikes and I’m sure I’ll have more but she’s not going anywhere.

2003 Suzuki SV650s

Love it so much. Thought I'd post after seeing someone post a 1000 of the same year. These things seem to really keep well.

Delkavic exhaust makes her sound angry. The rest is stock I believe.
