There are
many reasons
why the
SV650 is one
of Suzuki's
best-selling
motorcycles,
but the main
one is fun.
coolant temperature/oil pressure,
indicator, ABS alert and gear position.
And the fuel consumption gives you an
estimate of the range left, which is a
handy feature. The tank also provides
plenty of range, at least 160 miles be-
fore you start looking for a gas station,
as we averaged around 45 mpg. The
shape of the fuel tank is comfortable for
riding as well.
For higher speed riding, including
freeways, the SV650X has plenty of
power to cruise along at a quick pace
and still plenty of acceleration to move
through traffic when needed. The small
fairing does not provide much wind
protection, but the narrow clip-on bars
give a riding position that gets you out
of the wind a little better than the upright
handlebars on the standard SV.
