| My son bought a 2002 SV650 today, can anyone give me an idea of its performance please. IE Top Speed 0-60MPH 1/4 mile time. This is just out of curiosity, I don't want to go out and find out myself

| Probably low 12s and 3.5 or so. As always, depends on the rider.

| ... ![]() | ZX-9R up to 240km/h [148mph], but not for long. probably under 5 seconds of actually staying up there at that speed, then letting it drop down to a sedate 120km/h [74mph]. had my car (a '99 Honda Prelude SH) up to sustained 235km/h on a highway, for quite long stretches at a time. was trying to get the speedo to max out, but the side view mirrors and small rear spoiler were probably causing enough drag to make those last 5km/h impossible to get. plus i kept on coming up to other traffic ahead of me (this is around 10pm, so i was "hopping" from one cluster of cars to another). |

| I didn't need to, now, did I? No, no, no. Do not make this a head-swelling how-fast-have-you-gone thread.

| I answered two of three, whereas you answered one of three, and it does. Here's the answer to the third: Mid 130's.

| Looks like no one here who owns a SV650 rides fast ! I would just like to know what they max out at out of interest. I rode my lads bike today , it sure is sweet. Not my style but it does ride nice.

| All the speedo's read high for a reason. I've had the SVs 07 up to 145 indicated. Thats actually 130mph. All the speedo's read 10% high from the factory but the odo's are spot on unless you change tire size. |

| Oh, forgot to mention... The SVS has 15/44 for sprockets IIRC, and the regular SV has 15/15, so the naked version has a tad less top end a bit more acceleration. Since it is his first bike, I would recommend for upgrades: 1. Better/more gear 2. Motosliders frame sliders 3. Suzuki Gel seat 4. Windscreen Number one is obvious. Motosliders are the best sliders for the SV. Windscreen and gel seat are interchangeable. I didn't like rolling 70-80 down the freeway w/o a windscreen. And to simply put it, the stock seat sucks major donkey balls. |
