I tried making one of these for the DC area back in 04... didnt work :lol:
We had one going for a good long time, with lots of postings before "they" "cleaned" up the the threads...
So, let's assume for a minute that the 2nd gen SV is better than the 1st gen. It would have been correct in 2003 to refer to a shiny 03 SV650 on the showroom floor as the "new and improved" Suzuki SV650, no?
If you disagree, then you're obviously wrong ;D
Since you've opened THAT can of worms, let me take a moment to strike your b!tch ass down.
The 2nd gen engine was changed a bit. Some would go so far as to say downgraded.
The FI is a possible improvement, mainly for those in northern climes. Otherwise, it's way too simple a system to be called better than carburation.
The frame is changed, but far from improved. The angular cross sections in the 2nd gen frame are easier and cheaper to produce than the beautiful, sexy, organically female curves of the exalted first generation model. If you like Alley McBeal, then the second gen is right up your alley, so to speak.
Don't assume anything. It make you look like an ass.
:evil6:
(edit)
I just realized that you ride a first generation thing of beauty, you heretic. I'm gonna beat you about the face and neck with a tire spoon for your sins the next time I see you.
