The Suzuki SV650 is a likeable 650cc V-twin roadster that has proven to be one of modern motorcycling’s most enduring success stories. First launched in unfaired roadster and half-faired sportster forms in 1999, it was an instant hit due to its excellent 75bhp V-twin engine, easy manners and affordable price

The Suzuki SV650 was first updated in 2003 when it received a new frame, styling and fuel injection, then again in 2009 when it was restyled and renamed the SFV650 Gladius roadster. The ‘old’ half-faired SV650S was reintroduced in 2010 before both were replaced by a further updated SV650 roadster in 2016.

Finally, a retro-restyled café racer, the SV650X, was added in 2018. Both live on to this day.
