uzuki first introduced the SV650 way back in 1999, and it
quickly became one of the most popular motorcycles on the
road. The relatively low price point combined with a torquey
V-twin engine and good handling made it an excellent choice for new
riders, but it also became a popular bike to upgrade for racing. In fact,
the latest generation SV continues to be a popular racing platform, and
Alex Dumas just wrapped up the 2019 MotoAmerica Twins Cup cham-
pionship on an SV650-based machine. For 2019, Suzuki introduced a
Café-inspired version dubbed the SV650X, and the bike continues as
a 2020 model. We spent some time enjoying this bike over the last
few months using it for weekend rides and some commuting.
Another option for the hugely
popular Suzuki SV line.
