Suzuki SV1000 review
Suzuki SV1000 is a naked bike, which uses almost the same engine as TL1000S, but plenty of new technology was implemented in this motor for use in the SV series. Its liquid-cooled, 90-degree V-twin powerplant rewards you with a monstrous surge of torque and an incredibly wide powerband. The SV1000 is built to be without question the most exciting V-twin sport bike you’ve ever ridden down a twisty road. The SV1000 is the big brother to the popular 650 cc SV650 motorcycle and shares many common parts with it, including all bodywork (front fairing, fuel tank and rear plastics/subframe), but the main frame, handlebars, swingarm and forks are different.

This bike is meant for riders, who like having fun on the road. The SV1000 has handling to match its impressive powerplant. With technologically advanced chassis and suspension systems, it offers a superb combination of precise handling, solid stability and all-day riding comfort. And to increase its versatility, the fork and single piggyback-reservoir shock absorber are fully adjustable, so you can tune them to suit a variety of roads and riding styles. This motorcycle looks exactly as it should. Sounds exactly as it should. Creates feeling from the ride as expected. It is ready for the journey and just awaits your command. The camshafts of six-speed transmission are placed vertically and chequerwise, instead of one after one in horizontal position. This alloes placing them closer to each other, reducing length of engine. More specs and user manual of Suzuki SV1000 you can see in next overview.
