You haven't lived until you've accelerated hard out of a corner on a Suzuki SV1000S. Its liquid-cooled, 90-degree V-twin powerplant rewards you with a monstrous surge of torque and an incredibly wide powerband. The new SV1000S is built to be without question the most exciting V-twin sport bike you've ever ridden down a twisty road.

The SV1000S 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.

SUZUKI SV MODELS

For many riders the sound and feel of a sport V-twin motorcycle is the only way to go. A throaty exhaust note coupled with exceptional torque and agile handling are the primary reasons so many riders choose two cylinders instead of four. The award winning SV650 and SV650S provide a great starting point for new riders, but with enough performance to keep even experienced riders smiling. The larger SV1000S provides even greater performance, but with all the high-tech features and performance that Suzuki is known for.

SUZUKI SV1000S

The Suzuki SV1000S is built for the rider who craves the sound and feel of a sporty V-twin machine.

The proven 996cc V-twin powerplant combined with a rigid and lightweight aluminum chassis, and sleek half fairing and tail section create the perfect V-twin sporting machine.

The powerful V-twin is a classic big-bore, short-stroke powerplant utilizing dual overhead cams, four valve heads and a bore and stroke of 98.0mm x 66.0mm. Pistons are forged aluminum-alloy with short wrist pins and cut-away sides for less reciprocating mass. Compression ratio has been set at 11.6:1 for optimum combustion and 54mm fuel injection throttle bodies provide a steady diet of fuel for the high performance machine. Two shotpeened chrome-moly steel connecting rods work side by side on a single crankshaft journal and two plain main bearings support a short rigid crankshaft for optimum performance and torque.

An advanced die-cast aluminum-alloy truss-style frame houses the V-twin motor and is blessed with lightweight, maximum rigidity and impeccable production quality. Front forks are three-way adjustable 46mm cartridge forks producing 4.5 inches of wheel travel. An aluminum alloy swingarm is connected to a fully adjustable single piggyback reservoir rear shock and provides the 5.12 inches of rear wheel travel.

A pair of opposed four-piston calipers gripping dual 310mm front brake rotors provide the SV1000S with exceptional stopping power and control, while a single dual-piston caliper disc brake complements braking at the rear. Wheels are 17 inch aluminum alloy wheels, both wearing radial tires for optimum handling and performance.

The SV1000S sports a sleek half fairing, complete with dual multi-reflector headlights flanked by smaller running lights. Clip on handlebars add to the sporty look and feel for the SV rider and a maintenance free LED taillight are mounted below an angled tailsection.

The SV1000S utilizes a compact instrument cluster featuring an analog tachometer, digital LCD, speedometer, odometer/tripmeter, coolant temperature gauge, clock and low fuel indicator.
