Suzuki introduced the SV650 in 1999 as a budget entry in the emerging Naked Bike market. With a MSRP of $5999 in the US, the bike provides a sporty though easily manageable ride. The combination of light weight, rigid chassis, strong handling, and the V-twin's strong mid-range torque appeals to beginner and experienced riders alike. Two versions have been in production since the bike's introduction: the SV650, and the SV650S, which adds a half-fairing, clip-on handlebars and more rear-set Footpegs (among other minor differences) for a sportier ride. The bike's cost, rigid frame and relative simplicity appeal to amateur racers. Suzuki markets the SV1000 as the bigger brother to the SV650. In 2003 Suzuki redesigned the SV650 with a new pressure cast aluminum truss frame, new bodywork, new swingarm with revised rear brake caliper mounting, new exhaust, digital instrumentation and a new electronic fuel injection/induction system to replace the original carburetor. From 2007, both SV650 and SV650S model arrived with available ABS and twin spark plugs for reduced emissions. Generation 2 Changes For 2004, Suzuki used a new, 40 mm-lower subframe and a seat with a narrower design in the front. Trail was also raised by 2 mm, and the rear fender was restyled to clean up the area under the tail lights and provide more protection against flying debris. In 2005, the frame was changed from silver to a matte black finish. Engine Transmission Performance SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
