구매자가 알아야 할 사항
Bulletproof V-Twin Engine
The 645cc 90-degree V-twin is renowned for reliability, with many examples passing 60,000–100,000 miles on basic maintenance. Its biggest need is valve clearance checks via shim-under-bucket, which is a labour-intensive job, so ask for service records.
Watch Rectifier And Rust
Pre-2010 models are known for regulator/rectifier and stator failures, so check for charging issues and dim lights. Also inspect the frame and exhaust for corrosion, plus front fork seals and worn rear shocks on higher-mileage bikes.
Strong Resale, Great Value
The SV650's cult following and popularity for commuting, track days and budget racing keep used prices firm and parts cheap and plentiful. The torquey, charismatic twin with a low seat height and A2-licence-friendly options also makes it one of the easiest mid-size bikes to resell.
