@suzukicycles • In 1999, Suzuki released the original SV650. The motorcycle was designed to deliver fun of V-twin sport riding for all riders. The SV650 instantly became a rider’s phenomenon around the world. Not only was this universal motorcycle well-suited for streets but it was right at home on the racetrack too.
It was an extremely light and quick turning motorcycle and throttle response is immediate and strong. But it’s also forgiving and easy to ride. Therefore, any rider can ride with confidence, and anyone can feel the fun of lightweight V-twin Sport on winding roads or racetrack.
In 2003, Suzuki updated the SV650/S with higher performance and more sporty character with fuel injection.
Even in today’s V-twin cup of local club racing, the starting grids are still filled with many SV650’s.
The SV650 is arguably the best motorcycle for many people.
In 2009, Suzuki introduced SFV650 to meet the growing demands for more fashionable and more reasonable priced middle-class street bike.
These lightweight sport roadsters are powered by 90-degree V-twin engine. In today’s 600-700cc class, models from other brands are mostly powered by parallel two or four cylinder engine. The reason why Suzuki keeps offering the V-twin roadster is, we value the uniqueness that only V-twin engine can offer.
– Linear power character throughout the rev range
– Slim and lightweight chassis
– V-twin’s unique beat and rumble
– The great package any rider can feel joy of riding
For 2016, Suzuki introduces SV650 once again with more clear focus on the above mentioned V-twin character. New SV 650 has greater engine performance, class-leading fuel economy, lighter weight and sportier package in an affordable price range.
Raising the original “V-twin fun machine” concept even higher with latest Suzuki innovations, the SV650’s newest version now sets a higher standard.
The product concept of SV650 is;
“Back to its origin”
