Suzuki introduced the SV650 in 1999. An entirely new model design, and an attempt to revive the middleweight V-twin, the heart of the SV is a 645cc 90-degree liquid cooled power plant , the double overhead cam engine features 4-valves per cylinder and an impressive horsepower-to-weight ratio. This, combined with a well-matched six-speed transmission, makes the SV an impressive performer. The front suspension, surely in an effort to minimize costs, is a non-adjustable 41 mm conventional fork. The single rear shock features seven-position adjustability. A state of the art aluminum truss frame with impressive rigidity and a short wheelbase make for an extremely quick turning machine. Large diameter dual discs up front and a single stopper in the rear ensure the package is safely brought to a halt. Also the SV’s are born into the world naked. Without bodywork (S model has a half-faring) the attractive aluminum rack and engine are on full display. The lack of covering also makes service easier and reduces repair costs from minor incidents. Year Models Covered: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002
