The 2024 Suzuki SV650 ABS continues to be a benchmark in the middleweight category, offering a combination of agility, power, and versatility that has made it a favorite among riders since debuting in 1999. The bike entered its fourth generation in 2017, and nothing much has changed since except for subtle styling and color options.
Powered by a 645cc V-twin engine that produced 68.2 hp at 8,900 rpm when it was last tested on the CW dyno, the SV650 delivers a smooth and responsive ride that’s equally at home on city streets as it is on twisty backroads. The bike’s lightweight chassis and precise handling make it effortless to ride, whether you’re commuting to work or enjoying a spirited weekend ride. You’ll also see many of these on the racetracks; with minimum updates, the SV650 can also become a lightweight beast on the circuit.
Its upright seating position and comfortable ergonomics ensure the SV650 is suitable for short trips and longer journeys. Just don’t expect a massive suite of electronics. Besides ABS, the SV650 has no traction control or riding modes. It’s simplicity at its best, and the lower price reflects this. The bike’s simple, clean design is complemented by modern features, making it a great choice for both new riders and seasoned motorcyclists looking for an all-around performer.
The 2024 Suzuki SV650 ABS is available in Glass Sparkle Black for an MSRP of $7,949.
