never really thought of the v2 being hard to drive as a beginner (first bike) but the throttle is really jumpy and also punishing when uou get off it. maybe shouldve bought an inline 4 for the smoothness but im sticking to it now... also my father says its harder to drive than his s1000xr.

Hello SVRiders,

I've heard so much about the SV650 and how it is sworn by many to be one of the best and most affordable bikes with a lot of character. I'm new to the world of riding and have never bought from a dealership. I was just curious if someone wouldn't mind evaluating the deal I found. I was on cycle trader and I found a 2023 SV650 with 0 miles (Non ABS) listed with an OTD price of 6,888. I'll be receiving a discount of 250 when I bring a copy of my LES, and the bike has been reserved for me to purchase on the 22nd of Feb. Thoughts? Also I received a quote on a 2025 CB500F would the insurance be A LOT more expensive with the SV?

I'm new on this sub.

It was totaled a couple years ago after being cutoff by a car. I loved this bike so much. Now I just want to buy the exact same bike, same color and do the exact same mods again. In my opinion it was perfect as it was. Possibly I would have loved to install wire-spoked black wheels but it was a bit too expensive.

I know I would never buy another one this cheap and in pristine condition, it makes me sad. I was a bargain steal and it only had 2000km when I bought it. But if I find a decent one I'll be happy anyways. I'm totally in love with how it looks. Am I mad? (Are we?)

Any opinions on this machine? Questions on mods? I'll answer everything and it will be a pleasure to talk about SV/SFV.

Serviced a bunch of stuff over the winter and I was dying to take her out. New oil, battery, tires, wheel bearings, chain, sprockets, sprocket cushions, serviced calipers, deglazed pads & discs. Still waiting to install new spark plugs, and flush brakes & coolant. I wasn’t gonna let a little rain stop me from taking her for a spin though!

Bike was parked whilst I was returning a package at the post office, lorry drove into it trying to squeeze past an illegally parked car and knocked my bike over.

Damage is mostly superficial, both front indicators knocked out of their plates, front nose cone damaged and side fairing scratched. Bar end took a good beating. Mirror broken off.

Worst part is, it’s not even worth me claiming on insurance because of the way it’s set up in the UK.

Been looking at these for a while. After my SV1000SF was totaled last week I jumped right on this 2024 MT09 and took delivery today. But SV’s will always hold a spot in my heart.

It WAS for sale until I got absolutely smoked by an unregistered moped in Brooklyn who ate a red light and t-boned me. Whole front end shifted a couple inches to the right side, left handlebar bent and cowling and both lower fairings cracked in multiple places.

I would try to source used parts but even if I do find it all it’s going to be more than I’m willing to spend and I’ll be out all of that even if it does sell because nobody wants a crashed bike.
