One of the most popular bikes on the road today is the Suzuki SV650. They are comfortable, handle well, get great gas mileage and retail for about $6000.00 in the US. Used SV’s are really great deals. It comes in 2 variations- a Sport model with a quarter fairing and a standard naked model. The Sport is rather generic looking; kind of like all the other Sport style bikes out there. But the naked version really lends itself to either classic European schemes (think Triumph or Ducati) or Streetfighter schemes. Since most of my work is painting bikes, I like to do something a little different once in a while. So when this 2007 standard SV650 came in I decided to paint it like I paint Ducati Monsters with a stripe down the center and 2 pinstripes for accent. I also painted the headlight bucket and blacked out the upper triple clamp and handlebars. The LeoVinci pipe looks and sounds great. It came out with a very nice mix between classic and streetfighter.
