Overview - Suzuki SV 650 2021 vs Suzuki GSR 750 2017

The Suzuki SV 650 2021 and the Suzuki GSR 750 2017 are both naked bikes with similar dimensions and weights. However, there are some notable differences between the two models.

In terms of engine specifications, the SV 650 2021 is equipped with a V2 engine that produces 73 horsepower and 64 Nm of torque. On the other hand, the GSR 750 2017 features an in-line 4-cylinder engine that delivers a more powerful 106 horsepower and 80 Nm of torque. This gives the GSR 750 a significant advantage in terms of power output.

Both bikes have steel frames, providing stability and durability. However, the SV 650 2021 has a tubular frame type, while the GSR 750 2017 features a twin tube frame. The choice of frame type may affect the overall handling and stability of the bikes, but it ultimately comes down to personal preference.

In terms of braking performance, both bikes are equipped with double disc brakes at the front. However, the SV 650 2021 has four-piston calipers, while the GSR 750 2017 has double-piston calipers. This suggests that the SV 650 may offer better braking performance and control.

In terms of tire dimensions, both bikes have a front tire width of 120 mm and a front tire diameter of 17 inches. However, the GSR 750 2017 has a wider rear tire with a width of 180 mm, compared to the SV 650 2021's 160 mm rear tire width. This may provide the GSR 750 with better traction and stability during cornering.

The wheelbase of the SV 650 2021 is slightly shorter at 1445 mm, compared to the GSR 750 2017's 1450 mm wheelbase. This may result in slightly different handling characteristics, with the SV 650 potentially offering slightly better maneuverability.

In terms of seat height, the SV 650 2021 has a lower seat height of 785 mm, compared to the GSR 750 2017's 815 mm seat height. This may make the SV 650 more accessible to riders with shorter inseams.

Fuel tank capacity is another area where the two bikes differ. The GSR 750 2017 has a larger fuel tank capacity of 17.5 liters, compared to the SV 650 2021's 14.5 liters. This may give the GSR 750 a longer range before needing to refuel.

In terms of strengths, the SV 650 2021 is praised for its confident V2 powerplant with character, stable chassis, comfortable seating position, easy handling, and timeless look. On the other hand, the GSR 750 2017 is commended for its attractive overall appearance, stable handling, successful tuning of suspension elements, sufficient comfort, and easy-to-read instruments.

Both bikes have weaknesses as well. The SV 650 2021 is criticized for its brake system requiring manual force, lack of electronics apart from ABS, and moderately readable instruments. The GSR 750 2017 also has a brake system that requires a lot of manual force and a box swingarm that is not particularly visually appealing.

In conclusion, the Suzuki SV 650 2021 and the Suzuki GSR 750 2017 have their own strengths and weaknesses. The SV 650 offers a confident V2 powerplant and a comfortable seating position, while the GSR 750 delivers more power and has an attractive overall appearance. Ultimately, the choice between the two models will depend on the rider's preferences and priorities.

Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki SV 650 2021

Suzuki SV 650 2021

Not much has changed on the Suzuki SV 650 compared to its predecessor, five years ago. The engine has been updated to Euro5 and is now even more mature, which fits in perfectly with the rest of the package. The SV 650 doesn't want to scare anyone, especially beginners. The chassis makes a solid, unagitated impression, the brakes require a lot of manual force to prevent unexpected overbraking. The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated. On the other hand, the price is fair, as usual for Suzuki.

Suzuki GSR 750 2017

A razor-sharp design with an aggressive front and narrow rear - just as speedy street raiders have always wanted. It is a pity that the rear swingarm was neglected (officially for weight reasons, unofficially for cost reasons), and the front dual-piston brake system seems a little weak. However, the performance during the ride, both at high speed and in tight corners, is quite good.

successful tuning of the suspension elements

box swingarm not particularly pretty
