How's the Suzuki SV3650 for a Beginners Bike?

Question

I've been looking for a good beginners bike. I have now experience on a sport bike but I do have some experience on dirt bikes. I heard that the Suzuki SV650 was a good beginners bike because of its low-mid power range. What do you think?

Answer 1

This is a very good bike for beginners, eventhough for experience ones too. This is my first bike, I have 14,000 miles on it now, still love this bike. This is more upright riding position compare to SV650s. Around 52 mpg. Highly recommend. Good luck.

Answer 2

That bike is commonly used out on the race track but it would make a pretty good starter bike and my recommendation would be to buy a used one on cycletrader.com or another for sale website vs buying one from a dealer. If you want a more sporty model get the SV650S.

Answer 3

I have a SV 650 as my first bike.  It is great.  Good around town and out on the highways and back roads.  I have even done 350+ mile days on it.  The only mod I would suggest is to invest in the gel seat Suzuki offers or get an after market seat.  The stock one leaves something to be desired.  Then again maybe I just have a sensitive backside.
