650

Highway ready

The suzuki SV650 and the SV650s (sport edition) are the most modern and the largest displacement bikes that this website recommends as of this writing. The 90-degree liquid cooled V-twin, 645cc, fuel 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, but most of them are left lacking when it comes to mid-range torque.

The SV has mid-range power in spades, and 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, this 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.

This is great!
