im getting my first bike within the year myself, i have only riden a gsxr 600 and loved it but i dont have the money for one. I am looking into a suzuki gs500f myself. They are sportier than the sv's imo.

the GS's are great bikes too but i wouldn't say they are sportier then a SV other then the "f" model has a full fairingOriginally Posted by bigb996
remember its still a 20y/o air/oil cooled parallel twin compared to a fuel injected(2003+) liquid cooled "L" twin that makes over 20HP more thne the GS just FYI
SV>GS. they might "look" sportier, but they don't handle or have power to back that up.

You're on drugs! A GS handles WAAAY better than an SV... its all about the flickability, son. All you have to do is turn your head and you'll immediately find yourself leaning on the edge of that 130/140 tire.
The rake of the GS is also much much much more new-rider-friendly. Put one new rider on a GS and another new rider on an SV and 3 months out, the GS-newbie rider will kick the SV-newbie's butt in twisties.
