2001 Suzuki SV650

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 had the blue one for several years and loved it. She has the black one now and she loves it even more. I had a 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.
