The Suzuki SV 650 is a motorcycle from the Japanese manufacturer Suzuki .

The SV 650 was produced in two model generations between 1999 and 2010. After it was initially replaced by the Gladius , a revised new edition appeared in 2016.

The first model version looked very similar to the slightly less successful TL1000 . The V2 engine was conceptually similar to that of the TL, but had less displacement and was considered to be much more sophisticated. It is still used today with minor changes in other machines, such as the DL 650 V-Strom , the Gladius or in third-party products such as the Cagiva Raptor 650.

Model development

Model series 1999 to 2002 (AV / "Knubbel")

Sports tourer SV 650 S "Knubbel"

Naked Bike SV 650 "Knubbel" with characteristic round headlights

When it was launched, the SV was available in two versions: as a naked bike with the type designation SV 650 and as a sports tourer SV 650 S. The SV 650 S can be optically changed to an athlete with a corresponding full fairing , but the performance and chassis hardly do justice to this category . Due to this compromise between driving comfort and sportiness, the SV 650 (S) is often referred to as an all-rounder .

Because of the rounded cladding parts and the frame, the first series is called "Knubbel" in fan circles, in contrast to the "edge" for SVs from model year 2003. Internally, it had the abbreviation "AV".

Model series 2003 to 2008 (WVBY / "Edge")

Sports tourer SV 650 S "Edge"

Naked Bike SV 650 "Edge" with retrofitted luggage rack and tank bag

A comprehensive model upgrade took place in 2003 . In addition to the now much more angular appearance, the mixture preparation was converted to an injection system , and exhaust gas cleaning using an uncontrolled catalytic converter was integrated. The engine's performance data were largely retained.

The SV 1000 , which is almost identical in appearance, but with a larger displacement, was added to the model range at the same time as the revision of the SV 650.

As part of the facelift, it remained with an uncovered variant and the sports tourer "S". It was not until the 2007 model year that the SV had an anti-lock braking system as standard and thus introduced the model names SV 650 A and SV 650 SA. The ABS diagnosis system is completely decoupled from the existing diagnosis system. Faults in the ABS cannot be read out via the existing diagnostic system, but only via a flashing code on the ABS control lamp or a separate SDS connector. In addition, a regulated exhaust gas cleaning system has been added to meet the Euro 3 standard .

With the 2009 vintage, the “naked” SV 650 was officially replaced by the Gladius , but it was produced until 2010 with no technical changes. The SV 650 S sports tourer initially remained in the range and was available with full fairing for the first time in 2009.

In 2010, another iteration of the SV 650 S was sold in Great Britain, also with optional full fairing. In Germany, on the other hand, only remnants from the previous model years were sold.

Model series from 2016 (WCX0 / "Nova")

SV 650 A

For the 2016 model year, a revised version was released under the name SV 650 A, which replaced the Gladius in the Suzuki range. In contrast to the Gladius, it is optically based more on the original model, but offers a little more performance. Another new feature is the electronic idling control, which increases the engine speed when starting off and at low driving speeds and thus demands less sensitivity from the driver when it comes to the interaction between the accelerator and clutch.

In addition, another variant appeared from 2018 to 2019 under the name SV 650 X, which is optically based on classic scramblers or cafe racers . This can be seen in details such as a quilted bench seat and a small windshield above the round headlight. It serves the same market segment as the Triumph Scrambler (in-line two-cylinder ) or Ducati Scrambler 800 (also V2).

To date, the new model series has not offered any clad variants, i.e. no "S" variant.
