This looks so sick.

New touring version of the SV650 announced today.

yeah mang.
i'm so excited hhhnnnnngggghhhhh
finally the legendary vtwin reliability in a modern, exciting design.

if yamaha release the tracer 7 here, i doubt it'll be priced as competitively as what AMI is doing with suzuki.
tracer 7 is going to be yamahal, not even surprised if tracer7 is RM69k

Its great that they are updating the look and use new tech but still no cruise control for a touring bike? What are they thinking

Probably to keep cost down.
Its still using the same nissin calipers, telescopic fork, rear swing arm.

But since its now ride by wire, aftermarket cruise control can easily be added for about rm1k-ish

y u lompat so far ahead with cruise control?

center stand oso they dont give!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

is this like Vstrom?

yeah similar but 17 inch wheels on front and rear while vstrom 650 has 19 front.

I see... less off-road more ADV touring
kinda like old CB500X with the telescopic forks, but dual disk brakes

This and the S1000GX look so much like the Yamaha MT series design, gotta wonder if Yamaha designer moved to Suzuki

I guess they are just catching up on the looks department
their powertrain and transmission are faultless

the current NX500 (and the outgoing cb500x) already got inverted forks and dual front brakes already. This is closer to the Tiger sport 660 though, with 17s. The CB/NX has 19s

I like that they are making sport tourers again. Not everyone wants a tall and overweight ADV. I had thought they are binning the vtwin.

I wonder how they would price this under the Vstrom 800RE. The new bike could be a winner if priced under 45k ....and below the 800RE's 55k. Remember the old vstrom 650 was sold under 40k, not too long ago....the new bike would undoubtedly more expensive than the outgoing vstrom 650.

The chinese are throwing everything in. The clone QJ650SVT is being sold discounted to around 33k new....with brembos and luggage thrown in.


Not going to consider a "touring" bike without cruise control. And with this being ride by wire, weird they left it out. Honda is another idiot of not even including CC on the 750s and even the 1000 hornet. Maybe the new, just announced 1000GT perhaps?

Given that the SV650 is being sold at 30K, paying 10K more for the fairing and an upgraded meter seems a tough sell to pragmatic buyers like myself, even though they will price this above 40K for sure...

I don't think cruise control matters that much for this bike, though. This seems more targeted to those who wants only one bike, rides mostly for city commute and only do touring only occasionally. They focused on this bike being 'slim' and having a low ride height during EICMA.

The SV WAS not 30k. Haha. Only the limited run final editions were. Those who bought it at that price scored a good bike.

The SV was selling at 37 to 38k when it was first reintroduced a few years back.

As for cruise control, once you have it, you'd never go back without if you do any distance work, even occasionally.
