2017 Suzuki SV650

Suzuki has brought back the SV650 name, but has it brought back the magic that made the original a cult classic? In this video, Motorcycle.com Features Editor Troy Siahaan, a former SV650 owner and racer himself, takes the new SV for a spin during the model's U.S. press launch to see if Suzuki hit the mark, or hit a dud



RevZilla.com Review
With the challenge of living up to one of the largest legacies on two wheels, the hype around the release of the new Suzuki SV650 was as robust as the list of accolades is long. With such a pedigree for versatility, longevity, and general rider-happiness, Spurgeon was amped to get out to California and see what the 2017 edition to this time-tested lineup had to offer. In the Suzuki SV650 First Ride Review, Spurge and the RevZillaTV crew set up shop in the mountains north of Los Angeles for a spirited bit of riding along roadways that were obviously designed by a motorcyclist-at-heart. Accompanied by an article in Common Tread, this video documents Spurge’s initial thoughts, feedback, likes, and areas-of-improvement for one of the most popular bikes on the road… and the ZLA parking lot.



2017 Suzuki SV650 vs Yamaha FZ-07
In 1999 Suzuki introduced the SV650, a bike that went on to be immensely successful among novices, experts, and everyone in between. The key to its success—a charismatic V-twin, ultra-easy handling, and it wasn’t stupid expensive. After a decade or so of success, the SV faded away and Yamaha’s FZ-07 arrived in 2015 to fill the void. Now that the SV is back for 2017, we had to know if it’s good enough to keep up with Yamaha’s new king of the category. Luckily, that’s exactly the kind of question that Ari and Zack like to answer.
 

Suzuki's SV650 Takes on the Competition
Here's the test you've been wanting to see: the new 2017 Suzuki SV650 vs. Yamaha's FZ-07. Both are $7000, have twin-cylinder engines, and cheap suspension and brakes. They're both bare, essential motorcycles that pack a lot of fun into an affordable package. For kicks, however, we brought along the KTM 690 Duke and a special guest – a 1999 Suzuki SV650. How do they stack up? You'll have to watch the video to see.

Yamaha MT-10 vs Ducati Monster 1200 vs BMW S1000R

It's the battle of the naked bikes; Yamaha's MT-10 up against the old school charm of the Ducati Monster 1200R and the new thinking of BMW's S1000R. Is any one really better than the others or is it simply a case of horses for courses?

Danny MacAskill Wee Day Out

Want to see what Danny MacAskill does on his day off? "Wee Day Out" explores the rural landscape around Edinburgh in a film that sets out to capture the simple fun of a ride in the country with moments of incredible riding and a touch of humor. Danny pulls off never-seen-before tricks, most of which would normally be assumed impossible on a mountain bike, like leaping onto a single train track, turning a hay bale into a giant unicycle, riding over a cottage, and disappearing into a 6ft puddle. Oh, and keep an eye out for a cameo from Danny's dad, Peter!
