2002 Suzuki SV 650 S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Suzuki for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2002 Suzuki SV 650 S pairs a 645 cc (39.4 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 64 Nm (47.2 lb-ft) at 7,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 62.6 mm (3.2 x 2.5 inches) with a 11.5:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the SV 650 S measures 175 kg (386 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,420 mm (55.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.65 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 344 km (214 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 206 km/h (128 mph).
