Suzuki’s SV650S is a bike of many personalities and capabilities. A commuting tool; ideal stepping stone to larger capacity bikes; competent everyday middleweight and a racing bike to boot. There aren’t many motorcycles that can carry off such a diverse range of duties. Its competence is down to two main points: an easy-going 645cc water-cooled V-twin engine, and a chassis that is basic but forgiving. Being a V-twin, the SV650 is no slouch from the off and always has plenty of grunt when it comes to overtaking. It’s also at home clocking up motorway miles at motorway speed. So far so good, but the engine also has something extra that most mass-produced Japanese engines don’t have – and that is character.
A 645cc, dohc, 90-degree V-Twin that made 71.7 hp at 9250 rpm and 46.2 ft.-lb. of torque at 7250, good enough to propel this 426-lb. (with its 4.4-gal. tank filled to the brim) roadster to an 11.93-sec., 111-mph quarter-mile and a top speed of 129 mph.
