GSX R-600 or SV650 S ?

[CBRAero]

Ok bear with me for a minute if you will. This question is not purely hypothetical as I have been looking at these two bikes recently. Imagine you can have just the one bike (nightmare I know). Its your only transport so it will be used for commuting, weekend twisties fun and perhaps the odd group tour and trackday. Your choices are, ta da!

Now, I'm not a huge speed freak, I generally keep it below the point where if caught you can flush your license directly down the toilet. Hell, I've never even come off my bike(s) (well, just that once in ice at 20km/hr) in my 12 years riding, so I can't be too mad. Either that or I'm damn good...no, no.. I think its the former.

The GSXR will be another $2.5k over my current bike while the SV would be another 1k. The GSXR is also more expensive to run (tyres, fuel, plugs etc) and fix being a generally more complex and lightweight piece of track excellence but probably not the best commuter or touring bike. The SV is relatively cheap to run and fix and a decent commuter/tour/twisties bike but can't match the GSXR excellence in the hills or on the track. Rather than try and describe the various properties of these two bikes I will go with the assumption that most here know what they are. Money is a factor, but not a huge one. Oh, the GSXR/SV are located at the dealer who sold me my current bike, hence the choice in bikes due to the better deal they offer. If I had cash in my hand right now for my current bike ($10.5 k, mint V-Strom 650 K4 hint hint :) ) I might front the extra for a zx-6, if I could find one.

[imdying]

Have you ridden them both?

[MidnightMike]

You cant see the bike on the second link ... too many pop ups
So use this:

http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/2005/2005-suz-sv650s-a-1.jpg

Its your choice after all, however I vote Gixxer. :shifty:

[CBRAero]

Thanks, added that picture. Yes, I've ridden them both for a good hour each in as many different segments of road I could find. The GSXR has the more aggressive riding position but is oh so sweet, while the SV is more upright with lesser handling and power, but still decent by my measure.

[mattt]

Get the gsxr600 for sure - no contest :rolleyes:

[MidnightMike]

Swap this with the tiny one.
Some of our "senior" members may have trouble seeing it.:dodge:

Doh, thanks for pointing that out. I don't know how that thumbnail got in there.

[cowpoos]

nothing we say will make up your mind....infact you've probally already done it...your just looking for justification for what you've decided...theres heaps of these pointless polls and threads on here...just go get the one you want....and you'll be happy....if you end up with the one you didn't really want but thought you should have got....you won't be happy...simple


still need help deciding...picture them both sitting in your garage...which one would you go and play with the most?

[CBRAero]

I take your point Poos, but infact I'm torn between these two bikes and haven't made a decision which is why I've come to this place of immeasurable wisdom ;) . I wouldn't waste peoples time otherwise!

[FROSTY]

GIXXER --fucken fantastic bike to ride fast out of the box but comfort levels are low.
SV650 -well good basic package and The handling can be improved heaps at low cost and out of this world for under a grand.
Personally unless going silly fast is what ya wanna do I'd buy the SV
If you set it up right and learn to ride it you will give zx6r and gixxer 6 riders very red faces and the comfort alone is woth a fair bit.

[thehollowmen]

I saw a GSXR K6 today lined up beside the K5

uh

it be VERY much smaller

so wait for the K6.

Also, how about the GSR ? that's new and streetfigherish and looks ever so sweet

[skelstar]

I reckon you should make a list of you priorities maybe. I know for me the emotion votes count quite high:
1. has everybody bloody got one and does it look like yours?
2. What would I rather be seen on?
3. Does the bike make me giggle like a school girl when I go fast?

Just something to think about other than the sensible decisions :).

Personaly I would say GSXR600. I havent ridden either though :).

[loosebruce]

Wait for the K6, yeah but can his budget wait for a K6? hence why i think he's looking K4. Dont get me wrong though the K6 quite possibly the best looking bike i've ever set my eyes on, and i dont have one :weep:

The K4-5 GSXR is a trick peice of kit for sure, i think it would surprise you somewhat to just how easy it is to commute on it's not that bad a bike at all, you could put the same tyres on the SV and get the same sort of mileage out of them it's more down to how you ride more than different bike, feul, well twins are thirsty and the injection on the GSXR is second to none, i think you'd find you'd get close to if not more out of the GSXR and again it comes down to how you ride, there wont be a hell of a lot in differnce to servicing costs either (2 extra plugs on the GSXR, whoopee) the same things get done to both bikes when they get serviced, so .......

Really you need to get on and test ride em both, i can vouch the GSXR is a wicked peice of kit, the brakes are awesome, power is good, ride is great to, and the potential this bike has to offer further down the track (and at the track) far outweighs the SV, but the SV is a good fun bike as Frosty said, handling not quite upto par, but a good rider can ride around that, and put to shame a fast rider on the GSXR for sure, plus the Vtwin noise mmmmm, as much as i love a screaming inline4 the twin is damn cool.

Take em both for a ride and go from there

[TONO]

If I had cash in my hand right now for my current bike ($10.5 k, mint V-Strom 650 K4 hint hint :) ) I might front the extra for a zx-6, if I could find one.
Interesting....what is the reason for getting rid of the V-strom?:shit: It is a bloody sight more comfortable than both and has the same donkey as they SV, with more go in the mid-range, bit harder to get down in the sharper corners because of the hieght.bigger tank & longer range...:ride:
Not sporty enough???:confused:
Just interested in your comments, seeing as i have a K5, but then I am old :-)
Cheers

[Dafe]

The K4 will keep you alot more happier than the SV.
I've ridden a K5 600 and I owned a SV1000S for over a year.
The SV600 is a practical bike, It just seems boring! It doesn't have the grunting V-Twin sound of the thous. It is reasonably quick though, however it won't have you howling with pleasure when you take on the twisties, not the way an inline 4 will.
The GSXR is a fun piece of kit.
Personally, If it was my money. There would never be a SV650 anywhere to be seen when holding comparisons to a GSXR 600. I'm so impressed with the GSXR600 that I sat on it many times before ultimately deciding to buy the 1000 recently. I convinced my mate to buy the 600 instead.
Besides, The GSXR600 is a mean track bike, rigged up right it can take the 1000's out on Manfield. Even at top level riding. A gixxer 600 is a head turner too, the SV doesn't have the same presence. You'll tire from the SV alot faster than you will from the GSXR.

[Jantar]

From your description of the type of riding you do I'd suggest a DL 650, but oh dear, you already have one. The next logical choice then is the SV. Its very similar to the DL so you already know what you'll be in for, and is very suitable for Dunedin and Otago type roads.

The GSX would be a lot of fun, but will cost more to run, and may be a tad difficult to ride to places like Hindon or Mahinerangi. I'd suggest you talk to the dealer and ask if you can borrow the GSX for the Glenorchy Rally. That will give you a chance to try it out over some distance and see if it meets your expectations. You may just suprise yourself and decide that you do indeed need two bikes after all.

[Mental Trousers]

If it was me buying I'd just go with the GSXR, but I don't have to commute or use a bike for anything except fun rides.

So, go with the SV and immediately upgrade the suspension. It's down on outright power compared to the GSXR, but with upgraded suspension it can handle almost as well while being more comfortable/practical and easier on the wallet. Just a shame it's not a SV1000.

[CBRAero]

Absolutely nothing wrong with the Strom :). Its great bike, particularly for long range cruising and can do two up if need be. While the Strom is outstanding in most regards, unfortunately I'm finding it a little to....sedentary, not quite exciting enough. Its difficult to put my finger on, but I guess it can be summed up by saying that the Strom is what a lot of older people ride and I'm not quite there yet. If I survive the sportbike stage I'll probably end up getting another Strom in the distant future :)

[CBRAero]

Ah, the k6. My local Suzuki dealer just happens to have one in now. Its sure looks amazing, but I actually prefer a slightly bigger bike otherwise I look like a clown on one of those small tricycles.

Ah well...you got me. The GSXR :) has the most 'bling' factor of course. The things about the GSXR that are niggling at me are the ongoing costs, agressive riding position and doubts about whether I can work on it. I've never taken a bike to a stealer...um dealer you see. Twins are spacious in the engine area and relatively easy to work on by comparison.

Glenorchy Rally...anyone else from Dunedin riding out I wonder? Perhaps people are hooking up somewhere.
Thread here, I'm sure people know. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=20606&highlight=Glenorchy+Rally

The local dealer has both the GSX-R600 and GSR 600 K6 models in now, but I doubt very much I'd get a test ride on something that hasn't been run in or designated a demo unless it was near certain I was going to buy.

[FROSTY]

could I suggest ya have a look at my SV. The sv injected with no tinkering puts out 75 HP. Throw a ovkins rear shock and rebuild the front shocks and suddenly youve got a bloody grouse handling bike.

I have had the pleasure of FROSTY zapping past me at a great rate of knots (who hasnt) and would say that the SV looks very cool. Good sound and handling has been mentioned. FROSTYS SV is the older shape though (correct me if Im wrong F), and its cool because its black. Any other colour and I reckon the bike doesnt look as good to me (sorry). New black SV with a black frame might be alright though...what are ya leathers and helmet like? I have new Shift Leather Jacket (black) and black HJC CL-14 helmet (with tinted visor) and my bike looks 10x better than before :).

[CBRAero]

Absolutely! Checking your profile I see you have modded it very heavily indeed. ;). What you've done sounds good, what did it cost though?

75 hp sounds good,though its odd as the DL650 (25 kg heavier than the SV) I currently have produces a greater sensation of acceleration than the new SV650 S I was riding today (same engine). Perhaps its the more 'over the tank' positon on the SV650, but then again I believe the mid range torque has been enhanced for the DL650 at the expense of high end torque.

[Kornholio]

Gixxer = fast, SV = not so fast

Both enjoyable...hell its your pick :D

[Zapf]

hi CBRAero
From what you said it sounds like we ride in similar ways... and I have owned an SV650S for 15 thou k's and also a GSXR750 currently for close to 8 thou k's.

SV is good for.. Commuting / Twisties (VTwin) / Touring (GIVI makes hard pannier and top box racks for SV's)

SV is OK for Trackday... Factory suspension and Brakes holds it back on the track.

GSXR is good for.. Committed riding and Racing around the Twisties or road in general at insane speeds. Trackdays. Most memorable saying about the GSXR's (once you have ridden the bike at insane speeds well into the 3 digit figure then you'll understand why everything is designed as such) and I have found that very very true..

GSXR is not good for touring... no GIVI hard luggage mounts available / Riding position gets you from A to B without seeing much of the view.

GSXR has shorter tank range than the SV650. Reserve light comes on at 220km (GSXR) and 240~250 for the (SV)

As a real world do most thing bike... I would say get the SV and upgrade the suspension / Exhaust.... Oh and the SV has much better headlights for night riding than the GSXR

[CBRAero]

Hi Zapf, thanks for the point of view. I tend to agree with your assessment and at this point I'm leaning towards the SV just because I know it will be significantly more practical for the majority of riding I do. Not as sexy...but ah well... Looking at the SV forums I see people are forever upgrading their SV, suspension/exhaust/undertail first, next thing you know they have GSXR forks in there and on it goes :laugh: Having said that I'm taking the GSXR for another spin tomorrow so lets hope that doesn't make me do something silly like buy the k6 model and completely blow the bank out of the water.

Me
:stupid:

Thanks to everyone else as well, and please keep the opinions coming!

then you might end up like me.... selling the GSXR down the track cause it can't do all the things u want it to do...

main difference between GSXR and SV in the corners are that you have to use shit loads more brakes with the GSXR... and with SV its just pretty much a on throtto off throtto affair with some brakes if you need it...

For me.... I like engine braking... (go get a demo ride on a CB900 Hornet too if u can)

oh and with the GSXR's its hard to have fun without being sure of loosing your license.... if caught

[CBRAero]

I actually had a blat on a CB900 as part of the first round of bikes I tried. It was a grunty wee thing for sure, in a straight line it took off like a demon possessed. The suspension is budget unfortunately which is partly responsible for the low RRP of 11k, I guess. It felt odd in corners but otherwise I'm sure is a stonking good bike though not quite my thing.

[Quasievil]

I'll put my oar in here and say the stock hornet suspension is better than the SV650's...

[skelstar]

Hornet suss: it really depends on which year as well. Only recently (last two years?) have they included adjustability on the front forks. I believe the suss is not as 'suss' now.

[Zapf]

I'll put my oar in here and say the stock hornet suspension is better than the SV650's...

True true my friend.... having owned both bikes I can verify that. The CB900's suspension is reasonable as from factory.... bike cost 11k... use the change and get a Ohlins if u want :)

yea... from 05 year as I know has preload and rebound on adjustments on front and rear.

[cowpoos]

why are you two talking about suspension...it shouldn't really come into the equation for novice riders...neither should tyres... if anything the stock suspeneion on a hornet will be more forgiving of tom follery than upgraded sus... don't worrie about it skel... if you happen to buy a bike with top self kit on it...neat....but I doubt you'll notice how capable it will be for a long time.

[SVrunner]

SV650 is practical need to decide on naked or S model. either model is very bloody quick so works well as an allround bike for $12000 against $ 16000+ for other 600's.
I ride my K5 SV650s around town, through rush hour traffic & is very flickable.
Do agree withe the point of suspesion but have only had it 2000k & still working on set up & tyre pressure.
Have been on a 4 1/2 hour ride & it was fine as it does the job I require of it.

I guess Im talking about the range of adjustment rather than how good the hardware was. I know my bike has NO adjustment on the front, and thats fairly soft! I know I could just change fork oil and springs (if available)...same with slightly older Hornets.

[Quasievil]

not really wanting to put a spanner in the works but why not consider a new kawasaki ERN6, I dont even intend on bagging the SV but it has been around for a whil, why not get a newer technology bike, both the current GSX600 and the SV650 are due for renewal.... arent they.
Anyway here is a picture

No Question yes love or hate, really a nice bike in the flesh, the Pipes are certainly different but cool, a really neat package with kawasaki build quality, good price as well, around 10-11k I think.

Reviewers think its great, looks like everyones getting into the act as well with Suzuki and their GSR600 (apparently a bit budget) etc. Waiting for a group test re: these models.

Good stuff Quasi. :niceone:

[justsomeguy]

This questions has bothered me too.....

And the more I think about it to the more economically unjustifiable the SV seems......

How can a SV compete in the same price bracket as decent used 600 inline fours??

For the price of your normal SV - you could pick up a Gixxer 600 or R6..... hmmm......

[skelstar]

A GSXR600/R6 that is used and has no warranty hence no peice of mind.

Still, when youre firing through the twisties on your sportsbike your not thinking about that.

To be honest JSG, I think it comes down to what you want your bike for. In terms of versatility the SV is probably better - imho. Having recently gone down this path and test ridden both the Vtwins and the Inline fours around 600cc, I prefered the Vtwin in the twisties which is what I love to ride, it is more forgiving to a rider who is relatively new, it is fine for touring and on the track, well everyone knows my opinion and level of enjoyment I get from it there...:woohoo:

So, versatile - yes, exciting - can be if you want to make it so, practical - yep, that too...

[justsomeguy]

I know - the SV is a GREAT bike......... but that's what makes it seem .... ordinary,;) and its looks don't seem to grow on me........ whereas the GSXR is :Punk:.........

Besides..... I'm a bit biased towards inline fours.... so would compare a SV650 to an older 400 (any bike shop can source a mint one).......not a gixxer 600

Although squids like me run after the gixxer, older, wiser folk all own and recommend SV's.....

Yes, a well respected KBer who is looking at getting a new bike said he didn't really want an SV because newbie female riders aspired to it. I laughed and said I got it because of what it can do on the track...

I had the pleasure of riding a GSXR1000 around Pukekohe for a couple of sessions last week and was worried I would hate my bike when I got back on it. But no, I just rode it faster and better and still loved it...

[CBRAero]

Well, I just spent the last three hours riding the SV650 S and GSX R600 back to back (again). I took them both for a tour through town, the twisties, open road and housing areas. No doubt the GSXR is a fantastic piece of machinery, but its basically a track bike with indicators. Comfort is low and its just not intended to be used around town, its just begs to be left alone to stretch its legs on the open road. The throttle is twitchy for town and the gearing is all wrong for stopping at lights every hundred meters. Sure anyone can ride it in town...but do you want to do that day in day out?

The SV by comparison handles very well around town, is quite comfortable and actually does remarkably well in the twisties. Shifting weight across the bike saw it corner well and the torque is immediate and useful though the slightly soggy front suspension is still there. A new set of springs or race tech cartridge emulators should bring that right. In conclusion I'm going the SV path for now, perhaps an full on race replica sometime in the future. Thanks for everyones help. Squids feel free to flame me :2thumbsup

Good choice. I bought one as a sort of 'step up' bike, but i'm in no hurry to upgrade. They can certainly move when you want them to.

A good choice. I have just finished 3 happy years with my SV 650, even though previous bikes I had were bigger (Fire Blade etc) it was still a handy machine in most kinds of riding. I track day'd on it as well as commuted and weekend played on it. I am about to get GSXR600 but for different reasons. Have fun.
