Is it just my bike?

i ride a suzuki sv650s. the bike runs great. i am still new to riding. the problem is that the bike takes forever just to reach about 65 mph. is there something i'm not doing or is that just typical of the sv's.

Seriously though what are you basing this on? I had a ninja 650r and I thought it was fairly quick then I rode with some guys 1 on zx9 and 1 on t595 I found out the 650r was a dog. If your happy with your bike then don't worry about it..... but if you start comparing it to bigger bikes or even supersport 600's your going to find yourself wanting something more.

SV 0-60 is like 3.5 seconds

maybe with a burnout and Ricky Gadsen behind the bars. I think "under 5" is more realistic, unless you do a lot of practice at the drag strip.

and who cares anyway? I almost NEVER go 0-60. 99% of the time I accelerate hard it's 2nd gear roll-on while getting onto the highway.

Figure that's 20-75, if we're being real. Should still take about 5 seconds.
