Its faired brother is more suited to motorway miles, but how does the naked 2003 SV650 handle rush hour traffic?

The SV1000 is like the 650, but on steroids. Like your best friend it’s solid, reliable and fun to be with. If you are after a naked bike it’s very competent but it does lack the ‘kick-in-the pants’ elements of the TL.

The new 2003 SV650S has a hell of a reputation to live up to as it steps into the shoes of its vastly popular predecessor.

Fashion may have consigned the 2000 GSX-R600 to history with its now dated bulbous looks, but it is still an utter ripper of a bike, and a bargain at that.
