2005 Suzuki SV650

Great bike for sale.
When I bought the bike the odometer had been replaced or reset. The seller told me how many miles were on the original odometer but I can't remember how many it was but it wasn't that much. Current odometer reading is 12477 miles.
The Suzuki SV650 is a motorcycle that is hard to pin down. Most motorcycles that are great for the experienced rider are much too powerful for someone new to the hobby of motorcycling. On the other hand, ost beginner motorcycles don't have the power of 600cc's or liter bikes, nd that can leave veteran riders are wanting more. This has led to new riders buying 600cc+ motorcycles in an effort to 'plan ahead' for when they are experienced. Unfortunately, hese type of motorcycles were designed for racing and therefore are not very newbie friendly. So does the SV650 exist in that goldilocks zone? Does it have enough power for the veterans but not too much power for the newbies? I think so!
The 90-degree liquid cooled V-twin, 45cc, uel injected engine delivers power in a very manageable way and is great for both a new and experienced rider. Most sportbikes are equipped with an inline-4 engine which is the equivalent to a jet turbine in terms of power output. They can go quite fast once you rev them up to speed, ut most of them are left lacking when it comes to mid-range torque.
The SV has mid-range power in spades, nd is the type you need when riding on the street. That is also the primary reason why the SV makes such a great beginner motorcycle. It allows the newer rider to get used to the sensitivity of the throttle without having to worry too much about the motorcycle taking off without them.
If you pick up an older SV650 (pre-2003) you will find that the frame is more rounded compared to the new versions, his allows the frame to be 100% cast aluminum alloy. The older tube frames were partially cast and the rest was welded together. Both frames are well designed and very stiff which really adds to the already impressive handling of this bike. Couple that with the stock Metzler Mez 4 tires and you have a bike that can keep up with other more race oriented bikes in the twisties.
