Often categorised as a naked bike Suzuki's SV1000 and the half faired SV1000S, were first launched by Suzuki in 2003. The 996 cc 90-degree Suzuki V-twin motorcycles were aimed to compete directly with the Hinda VTR1000F (also known as the SuperHawk or FireStorm, depending on the market), which was released prior to the Suzuki, and the low end Ducati one-litre V-twin engined sport bikes. The SV1000 is the big brother to the popular 650 cc SV650 motorcycle. The SV1000 shares many common parts with the SV650, including all bodywork (front fairing, fuel tank and rear plastics/subframe), but the main frame, handlebars, swingarm and forks are different. The front forks and brakes are sourced from the earlier GSXR600. The SV1000 owes some of its heritage to the Suzuki TL1000S (affectionately known as the "widow-maker") from which it inherited its engine which was tuned for more mid-range and slightly reduced top-end power. For sale is my 2003 Suzuki SV1000S. I bought it from a dealer earlier this year who had done about $600 in maintenance to get it fresh for this season. It's currently showing 36,454 miles, but you can't tell unless you look at the odometer. It runs smooth like it has a fraction of those miles. As far as I know it is all stock. I haven't done anything to it except baby it for the few miles I've been able to ride it. All of the plastics are in great shape. The only problems are a tear in the seat and the front brake reservoir mounting tab is broken. I put some gorilla tape over the seat tear but haven't gotten around to replacing the seat cover yet because it didn't really bother me much. The brake reservoir has a zip tie that was holding it on when I got it and works fine. Tires are nearly new front and back. It's got current PA State inspection until 09/2013. I love this bike because it's so easy to ride and fast if you want it to be. It's got to go ASAP. I really hate to sell it but my truck needs a new transmission and sadly the truck is a higher priority than my bike. Please message me with any questions you may have.
