The V-Twin sport bike that you didn't know about

The bike nobody really knows about is the suzuki TL10000R

i actually prefer a twin over a inline 4. love the sound and the down low torque.

Of course we know about it. The sv650s big brother. Hell of a bike...

My Sv was a 2004 full fairing with a power commander, full Yosh RS exhaust, K&N airbox, gsxr 1000 inverted front forks and clip ons. It was a powerhouse and would run all day at 80mph at low rpms. What a great bike.

I own a 2008 SV650S and it supposed to be my first bike..I still have it after 4 years and 20k miles. They are so much fun and reliable just great bikes for the buck. Thanks for the review.

Unknown Gem... I bought myself a new naked version SV1000 here in England for my 40th in 05 for £3999 brand new pre- registered with 8 miles, put an American M4 2into1 exhaust, and power commander with custom map and got 130bhp out of her, loved a 2rd gear wheelie that you could hook 3rd and land it at over 120... and could keep up with the R1s and Gsx1000s... Ahhh memories P.S. your 0-60 You only hit 7k in first, they rev to 11,500 🤣 High 2s achievable for sure... GodBless brother 🙏

Shifting at 8k in 1st & second? Come on bro, that 11,500rpm is hella fun

These bikes are so sick. I love the lower fairing. Wish the sv650 more comonly came with that fairing.

This was on my radar on my hunt for a bike. This, the superhawk, sv650s, fz1/6, and f4i. I ended up getting a vfr800. I bought a vfr because finding an sv1000 is incredibly hard to find! These are fantastic machines and I'd own one in a heartbeat!

These engines rev well and keep pulling to 10krpm. No point taking it to 11k red line as it drops off. 6 to 9 krmp is the sweet spot from memory. Tuned to 125hp at the wheel I cut 60,000 klm on mine. It was easy to service and never had a problem, still had the original battery when I sold it. Been on Phillip Island track twice ( suspension is one of its let downs ..... but only when pushed and easily rectified anyway). Great brakes, feel and power, still impressed years later. They're as much of a weapon as your ability allows.

Great vid. I ride a 2003 sv1000n, when I went to buy a 2004 sv650 the sales man said I’ll sell you a 1000 from last year for the same price. SOLD!!!

This has been my first love when I started to look at sports bike. But it never made it to my country. So good to see your video.

Old, yet they look sooo good. This design was so ahead of it's time...still looks fresh today, after 16 years! I have one in blue, the smaller sv650s but fitted the bug spoiler of the sv1000s, looks just like this one. I love it. Sounds amazing with the Arrow exhaust :)

Bought that model when it came out new. Used it mostly to commute in the city (Houston) and it was great. I’m a big guy so I loved the down low torque. Great bike in its day.

I used to ride my GS650 back and forth from Lancaster to Chambersburg weekly and I could not help stopping at M & S Cycles while out there. Fell in love with the SV and the Bandit. I could never choose between them so I stuck with the good old GS650G!

Suzuki uses this engine in the v strom 1000 also,good engine

The TL 1000 was the bigger, badder father of the SV but it got a bad reputation as a tank slapper.

Love your videos. Great work. I actually own a 2007 SV1000 that has 3/4 exhaust and intake with custom tune. Down here at sea level it only puts 65 ft/lb and 109 hp to the rear tire. Wet weight as mine is, 450 lbs even.

I had a 08' 650. It was exhilarating when accelerating because of the savage engine tone and torque. It would grab gears like crazy and pull you. Quite the experience

good bike...had two...one street one track, the track bike I had gixxer 1000 front end with upside down forks, radial brakes etc
