The Suzuki SV1000S is a superb new or secondhand motorcycle choice, the 1000cc V-twin engine is placed in a simple roadster chassis with a frame-mounted half fairing and fully adjustable suspension motorcycle. The Suzuki SV1000S is easy to ride, also very good on the power side and comfort – but somehow just a little bland, which is probably why it never sold in large numbers worldwide. Still the Suzuki SV1000S can be bought relatively cheap compared to what it offers.

The Suzuki SV1000S look similar to the Suzuki SV650, but with twin exhaust pipes. Stock one are quiet but they're easy to replace and replacement can increase the horses pulling this motorcycle.

The liquid-cooled, 4 valve DOHC per cylinder, four-stroke 1000cc V-twin engine is the same as in the Suzuki V-Strom DL1000 big trail style motorcycle. It's then no surprise that the SV1000S engine produces about 120 horsepower.

Remember the days when you wobbled round on crossplies, guessing how much grip you had? It ain't like that any more. Though engine power and slick handling are the most obvious advances in motorcycle technology, they wouldn't amount to a row of beans if tyres hadn't kept up.

And surely tyres kept up. With new launches from almost all the major tyre manufacturers in the past years we're now at the stage where even ordinary tyres provide amazing performance.

For Sport touring, which are basically tyres which warm-up fast, are durable and give a very neutral handling. This tyres will work on almost any road surface and can cope with hard use. Sport Touring tyres from the several manufacturers are the Avond Tyres Storm ST, Pirelli Diablo Strada, Continental Contiroad Attack, Michelin Pilot Road 2, Dunlop D220, Bridgestone BT021 and BT021 and the Metzeler Roadtec Z6.

A good motorcycle paint job can be expensive, why is that. It is because once the motorcycle is ready for the final color application, things slow down a lot, the final paint can be sprayed on in numerous layers; it's kind of a “paint, dry, paint, dry” process until the colors are as vivid as desired. The skill is walking the fine line between putting on too much paint or too little. If there are graphics involved, each color must be left to dry, then the next area needs to be masked off before spraying.

The first stage in masking off graphics is to use a thin ultra-flexible, plastic lining tape; this can create really smooth curves. Next, masking tape is laid partially over it and partially over newspaper to fully cover the rest of the bodywork.
