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.
