Suzuki, SV 650

Suzuki SV650 ABS 2024

Mileage: 19,000 km

The SV650 is a legend. A 70 hp V-twin, pretty much perfect for city riding. You can ride chill at low RPMs or rev it up when you want to. Handles great, relatively lightweight. This was my first bike, I've been riding it for about a year and would happily keep it, but I'm planning to move, so I'm selling it.

The bike is in good mechanical condition, regularly serviced. During my ownership, I've replaced:

- Engine oil (fresh, changed just 50 km ago)
- DID 520VX3 X-Ring chain (also 50 km ago)
- Front sprocket (together with the chain)
- Full clutch pack - burned the original one while learning to ride, replaced all the clutch plates with Barnett ones
- Front brake lever and rear brake pedal
- Frame sliders

Tires: Michelin Road 6 in front, CST RideMigra CM-S1 in the rear. Both are pretty fresh, close-up photos of the tread included.

As for the downsides - had a minor lowside (for those unfamiliar - lost traction in a corner and slid on the asphalt) on the right side at around 30 km/h. After that, I replaced both brake controls, installed new frame sliders, and had the entire front end checked at Plan B, including the forks and everything around them.

A few minor marks are still there, all shown in close-up in the last photos - a slightly scratched exhaust cover, plus some small marks on the right footpeg and mirror mount. If you look for them, you'll see them. If you don't, you probably won't notice.

I'll also give away everything I have for the bike - around 2 liters of engine oil, chain lube and cleaner, the old clutch plates just in case, a cargo net, and probably some other stuff I've forgotten about in the cupboard. Can also throw in my old helmet - it's pretty beat up, but at least nobody's going to steal it if you leave it on the bike. Optional, of course.

TL;DR: The bike has been regularly serviced at Plan B, runs great, and I still ride it around town almost every day.
