the only problems RG is a broken foot peg and a big end bearing due to no oil pump. also a few pistons, one due to the rebore being to tight

My Triumph Tiger is being a bit of a bitch.

Gets less 'Ks per litre' than my 3-litre Subaru.
(but I do ride it a bit quicker)

I've seen a lot of people bashing suzuki's on here,are they really that bad,or is it just the odd one?

Surely most makes have their fair share of problems..

electrical on the thousand.
corrosion on the DR650
leaking oil on the 600
all of them seem to be poorly finished

Compared to some bikes I have owned, my SV is Mr Reliable...no problems so far (30,000k) apart from those externally inflicted by the likes of sheep and coffee shop car parks...

No problems on my last two GS500s, or my current SV.

Even my T125 was a great runner after my Dad found it's earthing problem.

Well it is nice to hear that you enjoyed the experience.

Back on topic:
I am rapped with the reliability so far of my Suzuki - I have only had to do routine maintenance like petrol, oil, filters, tyres. Well there was an exhaust gasket that cost $40 that I had to replace - but apart from that everything has been good.

I would happy to buy almost any Suzuki that I liked the look of - from SVs to Hayabusas - I think they are great bikes and good value.

Yep fantastic machines. Quite happy with the finish and engineering on em apart from the suspension.

Mind you I would'nt mind giving a Honda a go futher down the track, better build quality...supposedly?

S'funny you should say this. Every bastard and his dog told me before I bought my first Ducati, that they break down all the time. Neither of the two ducati's I've owned have ever let me down in any serious way. Only problem I ever had was a regulator dying on the 900 and that was easily fixed.

I have to agree with you SF. Those SV650's are bloody good bikes

DR650's are also a great bike .... IMHO
