Default No more SV650S....

but replaced with a SV650SF. Looks like for 2008, the half fairing is gone and now it's naked...or full fairing. Sounds like Suzuki listens to it's customers!

Suzuki SV650SF

And Louis went to all that trouble to get his free fairing. I love the look of that bike.

A bullet proof motor, superior handling, awesome looks, and a decent riding position, all for under $7000,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,how can you go wrong.

Pretty much a perfect bike for anyone wanting to start out in the sport class.

Nice lookin SV. Don't know if its an extra $900 nice though.... I think I'd get the naked version and use the extra money for mods

The new GSX 650 with the full fairing looks like a great bike. A Bandit 650 with the fairing should sell well for someone looking for a mid sized bike with a sporty look but rideable and comfortable on the streets.
