Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2007, 2008
Becoming egdier with each generation, the Suzuki SV650S is one of the elite semi-naked middleweight bikes. The 2008 model year has not brought major changes, save for minor tweaks so you're in for just as much fun as with a 2007 bike. The sleek fairing is providing extra weather protection and makes the bike a better choice for longer trips, even vacations.
The windscreen looks very sporty while the upper half-fairing is housing the aggressive dual headlights. The bike retains the two-piece saddle to retain a sporty attire, but the superior ergonomics render it as a great commuter, as well.
