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 The look is timeless on the one hand, but on the other hand some components are really a bit outdated.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.
