VEHICLE REVIEW

2011 Suzuki SV650S

There's something about a V-twin sportsbike, the way it looks, sounds and feels. Two cylinders in a classic layout. An elongated exhaust note under acceleration. A feeling the SV650 range takes to a new level. The proven liquid-cooled V-twin has been fine tuned with the addition of Suzuki's advanced digital SDTV fuel injection system. An innovative black chassis on all SV650 models is based on an aluminium-alloy-truss frame. Two V-twins done just right, the main difference rests with the S-version's sleek half fairing, dual multi-reflector headlights and clip on handlebars, versus the naked SV650's single round headlight, tubular handlebars and colour-matched instrument shield. Both versions serve up a comfortable riding position with a relatively short reach to the handlebars and a low 800mm seat height. Each carry a modern instrument cluster, including an analog tachometer positioned above a digital Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) speedometer. The latest generation SV650 series. So many radical solutions, so much unadulterated fun.

Standard Features

645cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4-valve per-cylinder, 90-degree V-Twin engine tuned to deliver broad powerband and crisp throttle response with class-leading power and torque.

High-quality engine components include cast-aluminium-alloy pistons shaped to minimise reciprocating weight and shot-peened chrome-moly-steel connecting rods.

Downdraft, straight-port cylinder head and compact 11.6:1 compression ratio combustion chamber for efficient combustion.

Innovative Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) digital fuel-injection system, featuring a secondary butterfly valve in each 39mm throttle body, results in more seamless, linear throttle response along with increased torque at low-to-mid rpm range.

Auto fast idle system contributes easy engine start.

Suzuki Pulsed-secondary AIR-injection (PAIR) system further reduces exhaust emissions.

Large 8.5-litre airbox with free-flowing, flat, pleated-element air filter, efficient muffler and air-cooled oil cooler support the engine's high performance.

Aluminium-alloy truss frame's main sections are each made as a single, precision die-casting using high-vacuum moulding technology resulting in a sophisticated and highly efficient design.

41mm-stanchion-tube front forks and progressive-link rear suspension both have adjustable spring preload.

Front 120/60ZR17 and rear 160/60ZR17 radial tyres.

Dual 290mm floating-disc front brakes and 220mm rear disc brake give excellent stopping power.

Comfortable riding position with short reach to clip-on handlebars and modest 800mm seat height.

Sleek half-fairing mounted above the radiator to allow clear view of the truss frame and the V-Twin engine with efficient aerodynamics.

Black-coloured mainframe, swingarm and front/rear wheels for a modern appearance.

Compact and functional instrument cluster with analogue tachometer above liquid-crystal display for speedometer, odometer/trip meter, coolant-temperature gauge, oil-pressure-warning indicator and clock.

Practical features include passenger grab bar, luggage tie-down hooks, large underseat storage compartment and 17.0-litre fuel tank.

Dual multi-reflector halogen headlights and LED taillight laid out in two vertical strips.
