Suzuki has unveiled its 2017 SV650, middleweight V-twin and updated version of its prior SFV650/Gladius models but has more than 140 components redesigned. The lightweight steel and trellis-style frame reduced straight 15 pounds from its prior version. The fuel tank is 2.5-inches narrower than the 2015 SFV650 but still holds the same amount of gas.
Peak power is up to 75 horsepower from 71 hp. Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS.
The motorbike will hit the showrooms in second quarter of 2016 and the price is not yet disclosed. This motorbike seems to bring a storm in the market with its simple and clean design and fourth generation technology.
