Wrong Way Round - Suzuki SV650 S (Helmet Cam) Dec '07 UK

[DontTreadOnMe894]

man i still cant wrap my head around the fact that you guys are on the left side of the road, my brain keeps telling me your on the wrong side of the road lol

[scorpiotoo2000]

Just seen video after 4 years lol. I have an factory standard SV650S SK9. Great video I will do some myself and will be delighted if like yours. My bike is my ONLY transort 24 7 365 so no fair weater talk here please. December harde core ride man. I know a lot of those areas and am often out that way is lets say Derbyshire Cheshire and Staffordshire. Ride safe mate.

[whitbyjet65]

Ironic advice @0:54. I use these roads every day & 95% of dickheads are fair weather bikers who use the roads as their own personal race track (and then squeal and blame a 'cager' when they come off, while doing 120mph).

[drums634]

have just bought a 2005 sv650s with a blue flame exhaust (which sounds unbelievable). Extremely pretty bike. Picking it up 2moro so wont be getting any sleep 2night. upgrade from 2 years of cbr125r so the torque will be lovely im sure

[IP1NKYI]

Ive got a 1999 SV650S. Love it. Only problem I have with it is the clunky gear changes. It doesnt happen all the time but when it does its annoying. Just a loud clunk like when you go from Neutral to 1st. Except this can happen going from 2nd to 3rd r 3rd to 4th. REALLY annoying but still love the bike.

[djpert1]

Liked this vid a lot mate! It looked like it was fkn chapping! Where was this filmed and what camera did u use? Cheers

[paulthe6th]

@djpert1

Road: a640 (from outlane to denshaw) > a6052 (denshaw to delph) > a62 through huddersfield and back towards mirfield where I used to live... The roads are pretty good round there, but there's just not enough of them. Holmfirth to Glossop & then glossop to ladybower is one of my fav routes - recommended :)

camera was a dogcam pro 520 (google dogcamsport co uk) linked into a 10 year old miniDV camcorder.. They do full setups with recorders which use memory cards :) thanks for watching!

[insanebeard]

nice vid m8 i gotta 2000 model sv 650s, blue with black screen :) subed

[sgtchicken]

took me sooo long to figure out why you were on the wrong side of the road rofl *facepalm* Oh and 3:09 totally dangerous and illegal lol

[paulthe6th]

@sgtchicken

Thanks for the comment, luckily for us in the UK, filtering through traffic (I think I've heard US riders call it lane splitting) is legal as long as you dont cross and solid white lines on the road. Broken/dotted lines indicate it's legal to cross over as long as its safe to do so. There's also a precedent in some UK courtcase which suggests you shouldn't filter at more than 20mph, and should stop filtering once traffic is moving at over 20mph (20/20 rules)

Thanks for watching :)

[sgtchicken]

@paulthe6th Sorry, shoulda realised the laws could be different. You should def be careful doin that though bro haha. Also, i'm Canadian ;)

[sgtchicken]

@paulthe6th Sorry, guess I shoulda realized the laws would be different haha. You should definitely be careful doin that though bro. Also, I'm not from the US xD I'm Canadian

[paulthe6th]

@sgtchicken

oh canada, oh canada... sorry I couldn't help myself. Aside from the speed of modern bikes and rider error, I think filtering accounts for a large proportion of road traffic collisions in the UK, from wreckless filtering on the part of the rider, through to dopey car & van drivers getting fed up and performing a u-turn to get out of the queue, only to end up with a biker through their drivers side window.

It's all part of the game I guess :)

[sgtchicken]

@paulthe6th Lol yeah, and btw, just for future reference the beginning of the anthem only says Oh Canada once haha.

[Danielson761729]

so many dickheads, i can relate to that

[manurthebest14]

sound advice lol and good video :)

[alantecontra]

nice video. sv650 is a fun bike!

[250Trojan]

That guy in the car was a twat. The van driver was way over the line too (cutting the corner)

Nice bike. I am thinking of getting a naked SV (when I can afford it)

[ink357]

about what is the top speed on it in mph? im considering buying one and this is something i need to know.

[paulthe6th]

@ink357

erm, the sv650 will hit around 140mph indicated. I once had about 147mph downhill with tailwind etc... but loads of people told me that was physically impossible because the sv isn't geared for it. I know that's what it said on the speedo but I never ever got near that sort of speed ever again. All the power is in the mid-range with the v-twin so the engine has already run out of steam by the time you're trying to hit max speed...

[alicashmore]

was this taken in devon?? i got an sv650s aswell and i take round there all the time

[paulthe6th]

@alicashmore

this is over saddleworth moor near scammonden, delph and slaithwaite (all proper Yorkshire names lol)..

Up in the pennine hills between huddersfield and oldham. Nice roads but not very many of them to be honest, the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales is the place to be :)

[bigbadpman]

@paulthe6th get yourself over to Derbyshire its not far there's some good roads round there.

[paulthe6th]

I try and get over to peak district as often as possible mate - awesome roads and even better scenery... Holmefirth, holme moss, across the valley and over to glossop then left down the snake pass, stop at the snake pass in for a steak sarny, onto the strines moor and back into huddersfield :D

gonna do a video of that route as soon as the weather is better :D

[catalyst8]

Hi Paul, I've been thinking about getting an SV650 S. I was wondering if you could let me know how it feels for pillions, as it looks a tad high for them.

Thanks.

[bigbadpman]

great bike there just not very good two up, seems v.slow which surprised me as its a v-twin, dont let that put you off though, i love mine.

[paulthe6th]

yeah there are probably better bikes for carrying pillion to be honest. Having said that there are loads of people from the sv forums who attend the big rideouts with their partners on the back.. (some of these are big weekends away to scotland 400+ miles and they seem to manage)..

But yeah it is quite high on the back end for pillions

I think the perception of whether a bike feels slow or not is quite a subjective thing. My sv1000 felt quick when I got it, I'm looking for more now though lol

[aj466202]

some pretty good riding right there, even with the idiotic driver

[petko17]

what a nice movie mate im stunned!! :)

[AndyZePandy]

Just watch out over the Nont Sarahs road (A640) during winter - many people have been killed down at the 90 degree bends at the dam, including a good friend of mine who worked in Shaw.

[theREVOLTofone]

dude you're driving so slow

[paulthe6th]

I certainly am ;-) Middle of december with low bright sun and frost in the shadows

[golf1diesel]

he's driving slow ok but at least he is safe..unlike probably you

[05560421]

Typical retarded cunting twat faced dickshit assholt fucktard moron car drivers for u

Hopefully getting an sv soon :D

[MechanicKaiza]

Awesome video, Im jealous. I want an SV650 and that also looks like an awesome place to ride around.

[paulthe6th]

there's plenty of nice roads all around the country pal - even if it involves taking a massive journey to get there, it's all part of the fun ;)

there's plenty of cheap sv650's floating around at the moment, just get on biketrader or ebay and grab a bargain :D

[Mothkyn]

1.07 yup ya found one! :)

[jamiebridges123]

looking forward to gettng an sv650s pretty soon, hard to pull the money together when you write off your old bike on third party. :(

looking for a nicely done k4/k5 for around £2.3k, hopefully one will be about at the right time. :)

[neilly333]

good vid m8, just got sv myself naked,ma first bike in a while! would a screen ma a diff wi the wind!! ?

[golf1diesel]

1:08 damn them .nice video and editing :)

[andallweretaken]

is it just me or in the beginning did he put diesel in his bike???..it was green handle am i not right..???

[paulthe6th]

Yep, makes it go faster, didn't you know? :P

green is unleaded in the uk, black is diesel :)

[backagain66666]

NICE VID M8

[WiiAreDrunk]

I agree. Entertaining, very professional looking, great job.

[N41MUN94]

is the ninja 650r faster than the sv650s?

im trying to decide between the two.

also ive heard the sv650s has a awkward riding position with the high pegs and the reach for the bars. is it true?

i live in spain so advice welcome. thanks

[Mapolin]

the sv650 is somehow slow... compared to any other sport bike around 600cc. Its a lovely bike for any kind of trip, comfortable and fast enough. Its not a naked tourer-like bike, not a pure sport machine.

[paulthe6th]

I'd have to agree that it's not a supersport rocket like the cbr, gsxr, r6 or ninja 600 but it'll still crack 60 in around 3.5 seconds with a nice early kick of torque at around 7 thousand revs, whereas with the supersport 600's you constantly have to thrash them to 9 or 10 thousand revs to hit the real power = sv is much more useable for new riders. I'd recommend it as a first big bike :)

[KamiKaziChicken]

Lol, 1:38 is the road my friend was just talking about yesterday.

Pretty stupid layout, that middle lane is a death trap

[inkmonster0u812]

Pretty cool m8.I need to do sum videos, i already have my cam /helmet set up.The ole v570.Ride safe .Ignore the haters .Theres less hateing on livevideocom.

[Head0riana]

very nice cuts at the beginning but quite boring in the end

[markwalsh2001]

I agree with tn21beer, the garage bit at the beginning was a good touch, very humurous.

I no longer ride (four wheels these days) but you have got me thinking about getting a cam fitted in the car! the scenery round here is not too bad either (but not as ruggedly beautiful as Yorkshire).

Over here we say always assume that there are three dickheads round the next bend, and two of them are probably pissed!

Cheers

[Kevx11]

Nice bit of editing buddy.

[tn21beer]

I love the start of this, with you getting rdy and going to the garage! good touch. Im tempted by one of these for my first bike, might get the gs500f though for a start.

[paulthe6th]

get yourself and sv650 - amazing machines (only been riding for a year) and it's my 2nd bike. I think I'll ride SV's for as long as they're around

[robchester]

Love a bit of Maximo, still prefer the original. Lets hope you're available to assist in tomorrows vid...

[50calDan]

nice video mate. sunny day today, make a video? haha

[jtuk86]

liking new bike lad, got my test march 22nd

[pdelaressure]

fucks sake mate...that was lairy!!!

[paulthe6th]

thanks for all the comments guys, the song is Mark Ronson feat Paul Smith - Apply Some Pressure (originally by maximo park)... love the string section :)

I was planning on heading out this saturday from Leeds to the east coast via the moors but the metoffice weather report has just turned turd for saturday :( ah well

oh and the next vid will have a better camera angle.

[DashTube1]

Nice one :)

[FreqyBiker]

Quality tune- even better than the original.

Looks like a good ride, it's been a while since I've been on a proper pleasure ride- now... where's my bike? :D

[TimInYorkshire]

Nice visual/music editing at the end.

What's the music??

[paulthe6th]

roll on summer. if we have one this year :)

[Itchy1978]

Nice video! Makes me want to get my sv650 out and go for a ride! Look forward to more.
