Suzuki riders struck motorcycling gold when the first SV650 debuted in 1999. Since then, this iconic motorcycle has seen continual improvements while still embodying the sporty personality that only a lively, mid-sized V-twin roadster can deliver. The 2022 SV650 has a refined powerplant that provides surprising performance with low emissions and outstanding fuel economy, mounted in a trim and lightweight chassis that delivers a sporty, exciting ride.

The SV650’s nimble chassis achieves exciting lean angles when cornering, while a pair of four-piston Tokico brake calipers up front deliver excellent stopping power. The 2022 SV650 Glass Sparkle Black bodywork is draped upon a metallic gold trellis frame that rolls upon black, cast-aluminum wheels. This stunning look and style, combined with sparkling performance, delivers sportbike value that a broad range of riders will embrace.

• The compact, lightweight chassis is covered with slim bodywork to create a bike that’s agile and fun to ride on a variety of streets – such as city traffic, highway, rural roads, and winding roads.
• The ready-to-ride weight of the SV650 is just 432 pounds.
• The high-strength steel, trellis-style frame is key to the motorcycle’s trim and intelligent dimensions. The seat height is just 785mm (30.9 inches) and is the lowest in the 600–800cc street bike class.
• The SV650’s fuel tank is short and narrow but maintains the same 3.8-gallon (14.5-liter) fuel capacity in both US and California versions.
• The slim fuel tank and seat joint aid the rider in touching the ground better at stops.
• The frame is mated to a steel beam-type swingarm with a straightforward chain tension adjuster system.
• The 41mm conventional-style front fork has a generous 125mm (4.9 inches) of wheel travel to provide a sporty but plush ride.
• Link-type rear shock unit has a 63mm (2.48-inch) stroke and is tuned for a superb progressive feel and to react efficiently to varied road conditions while still delivering an agile and stable feel.
• The rear shock’s spring preload is seven-way adjustable so you can easily adjust for a passenger or cargo.
• The front brakes feature a pair of fully floating 290mm discs that are grasped by four-piston Tokico calipers for excellent braking performance.
• Five-spoke, cast aluminum alloy wheels are shod with lightweight, front and rear Dunlop radial tires for sharp handling and good mileage.
• The Dunlop Road Smart III tires fitted to the SV650 have great grip and all-around good tire performance.
• The compact and lightweight instrument panel is a full LCD display, eliminating motor and needle mechanics.
