Well, I'm sold. Anyone want to buy a sh!tty, unreliable Falco so I can buy an SV? Then again, maybe he had the highly-strung V4 edition, and that's why he had problems

Yeah, right.

i find it amusing that they all talk about how fast the sv is... not the character, or handling, or overall fun....

I can only conclude they have small penis' and have no real idea on what makes a great bike

just so we are clear, I was not surfing an SV forum.......it was sent to me by my piss taking SV riding mate who knows only too well how much quicker my falc is

Makes me laugh how, all the Falco owners said how good the Falco is, didn't say a bad word about the SV. All the SV lot can do is slag off the Falco/Aprilia/Italian bikes in general.

but it is no quicker than my anniversary SV 1000 and we have to push start the RGV all the time

I thought an RGV IS a Suzuki?

well just to balance things, i have in my garage
1x Falco- works fine, excellent build quality.
1X Honda xr400, works fine excellent build qaulity.
1x Sv650s, needs sorting, EFI/ conector problem. not good build quality. (great fun on twisties though)
The falco is seriously a much higher build quality, and quite a different animal than the Suzuki, be it 650 or 1000.

I saw no reference to how fast they are?!

The guy who said it is shit is a squid, he rides a GSXR750.

I dont think there is any more to say

I always wanted an '84 or '85 GSXR (either 750 or 1100) because I like the looks of them. Then I discovered the Falco.

Had to join and had to post.

What is quite amusing is they harp on about the shite electrics............................that'll be the japanese part of the bike then!

The gearboxes are better, but that's about it.

I like the yoshi sound clip ......sounds like a flapping tarpaulin or your average harley ferguson.


this sounds much better ..

only my opinion


Mind you my Bro' has a Cagiva Raptor ...very good bike ...Italian with Suzuki TL1000 motor

I suspect the SV would have been a better bike if it had used the same TL engine.

I had an early SV650S and would have been happy to upgrade to an SV1000, but when I saw the pre-release pictures I thought URGH!!!

Is it just me or did Suzuki ruin the SV when they made it all angular?

I was amused by the guy on the SV site who reckoned his SV was faster than his mate's Fireblade...I'm guessing his mate was literally just that, i.e. his wife!!!

Have to admit that the yellow 650 'curvy' I collected for my sister and ran for a few weeks was the reason i bought the falco, I had a MK1 fazer at the time and just really liked the whole torque riding thing.....obviously the falc has a whole load more, but my sisters bike with a full big bore Micron system sounds sweet too
