Suzuki SV650 (ABS) '18 | Taste Test

Suzuki has many motorcycles that have a cult following:
- For 'squids' = The GSX-R series
- For speed fanatics = The Hayabusa (esp. Twin-Turbo installed)
- For Dual-Sport = The DR/DR-Z series
- For ADV Riders = The V-Strom series
- And for 'the kamote kings' = The Raider 150
But over the years, none has a more distinct following than the SV650.

The SV650 has been around since 1999 as a low-budget alternative to the British Street Triples and Ducati Monsters of the day! For its combination of low price-high value with a dash of fun to toss along, this 3rd generation marks the return to its Sport-Naked glory!

A staple of Suzuki's V/L-Twin line of motorcycles (along with the V-Strom) makes the SV (and its SFV650 Gladius predecessor) a definite icon and loved by riders all over the world!

But as a cousin to one of my favorite motorcycles, the V-Strom 650. Will, a different riding experience to hold its name? Especially with a very-crowded 650-750cc Sport Naked Class, how will it stand out compared to the much popular and lovable Yamaha MT-07? Check it out here!
