Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 2003 Suzuki SV1000. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
When Suzuki introduced the SV650 in 1999, they had themselves an instant classic. They also had an amazing 1,000cc street bike V-Twin engine in the iconic TL1000R sport bike, so it didn’t take long for consumers to beg Suzuki for a SV1000 as well. Suzuki obliged them in 2003, and the resulting creation put down 108 horsepower and 69 ft-lbs of torque to the rear wheel. As stated in a BikeSocial review, “you will fall in love with that thumping V-twin motor that remains packed full of charm with a wicked exhaust note and stacks of grunt. It’s a cracking engine and while not amazingly powerful, is still a million miles away from an inline four in terms of character. Add to this bullet-proof reliability, cheap service costs and it is hard to argue against the SV.”
The SV1000 was available with a fairing and without – the latter is a rarer find and is more comfortable thanks to lower pegs and flat handlebars.
