sv650 its a great bike

azh1645 · 04-13-2010, 11:19 PM

Hi
my first bike and currently still my first bike is a naked 2007 sv650. this bike has been great, i have made a few mods to it. like a gel seat, exhaust, windscreen, gearing, removed mudflap, stiffened the front springs, heavier fork oil and thinking of swapping front ends for a gxr 750. i'm a big guy 6'6" 265lbs and i feel comfortable on this bike, but i dont look it!
i live in the dfw area, ridden to colorado and to s. dakota on this thing with a cracked tailbone! but enjoyed it no the less. this summer i'm thinking grand canyon (never been) or arkansas.
i am looking at getting another bike but no sure yet what i want, bigger is the goal. i have spent time on my dads 2009 kawasaki voyager (which will be mine when he stops riding) but just dont seem to enjoy all the luxury.

any suggestions

The TL is a great bike I actually Like the TL1000R it have a GIXER style beam frame appose to the lattice later TL or SV style frame.

The TLR had a bad name for its self,it was known as the widow maker, suzuki recalled it and actually fitted a stearing dampener
