My wife wanted a SV650 from the very first one she saw way back in 1999. Before she finally got her SV she had a series of other bikes but none of those were quite what she was looking for. She's had the blue one for several years now and loves it. I had the red one for about a year but because it was just a bit small for me, I eventually replaced it with the physically larger DL650. These little Suzukis are just incredible bikes for the money. They provide a lot of smiles per mile.
