Thread 28550745

this would be my first bike - so these bikes are quite similar. though mt07 is in everyway just a modern, upgraded sv650. and it's apparently also lighter and more agile. it boils down to the price difference. because I could get a ~2004 sv650 for 1.5k-3k. whereas the cheapest mt07 ~2016 is 3.8k minimum, would pay 5k MAX.

is the extra grand or two worth it for the mt?

Why do you want a bike?

>>28550745 (OP)
the sv650 stomps, just make sure that the person that you are buying it from didnt use it as a stunt bike

sv650 is a nice bike, its air filter is located under the tank and its frame goes on boths sides of the engine - like on supersport bikes

mt-07 is more utilitarian and uses an old 70's UJM bikes compound - airbox is under the seat, frame goes on top of the engine and under the tank

mt is better for stunt or track build, easier to work on due to the reasons above.
mt is more common, and its engine can be found in many other yamaha bikes, meaning more parts and custom options, it is also the most reliable engine in existence. some people put a turbo on it

sv has a v-twin like on some of the most legendary bikes out there, like Ducati or whatever. mt has a p-twin which is again easier to work on and lighter.

the tank on the sv is made of metal, so you can scarp it or dent it, yamaha is made of plastic meaning you can easily fix or change parts

so if you want to own something nice and special just because - sv
if want to ride - mt

Consider buying a gladius. Some people think It looks a little weird, but that keeps their prices lower, and they actually have a few significant upgrades over the SV650.

Ninja 650. Same shit but calm and quet so your idiot ass won't want to race it.

>>28550766
SV has a shit ton of support for track builds too. If you want a P-twin Yamaha for track the R7 is the better option

>>28550745 (OP)
I vote SV because it has sovl. Mt07 is an insect looking thing. Anyway, get a bike with ABS.

SV650 makes similar power with a smaller rear tire making it feel more nimble, also a lot more aftermarket support and swappability
parallel twin is easier to work on if you're kind of retarded, can also be found with ABS which is nice for retards like yourself
all about what you wanna do with it anon

ryan fucknine was so retarded for saying this, I've seen maybe 3 or 4 on the road ever and less on marketplace

You will be happy with either. They're both good bikes with a huge aftermarket, but the MT07 aftermarket is probably a bit more fresh (in a good way).

Soul-650 over the cringe bug bike. If you can find a 03+ for fuel injection, the carbs are annoying to work on for SVs in particular. If previous owner did any wheelies, walk away. The oil pick up is in front, so when you wheelie it starves the engine of oil. Speed runnin fuckery

Mt track build will be more reliable, cheaper and more powerful than the sv

>>28554288
Except Suzuki runs forever and mt07 drinks oil.

>>28554288
Why would you build an MT when the R7 exists? Are you retarded?

I'd get the SV because Suzuki knows how to fukin party and make badass bikes

>>28554283
They're both styled like bugs.

>>28550745 (OP)
Both are too fast for a beginner.
Also, remember to budget another $1-2k for good protective gear.

>>28554625
What bike is that?
