The 2003 Suzuki SV 1000's chunky aluminium frame with conventional suspension and it works better than the TL 1000S ever did. The SV 1000's suspension’s not quite as good as pure sports bikes but it’s fine for most people. If you do lots of track days and fancy aftermarket shock and fork re-build will enable you to flick from peg to peg in an instant with no grief. Brakes on the Suzuki SV 1000 are strong but work best with fresh fluid.
