Positioned in Suzuki's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2018 Suzuki SV650 ABS relies on a 645 cc (39.4 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 62.6 mm (3.2 x 2.5 inches) with a 11.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the SV650 ABS measures 196 kg (432 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,445 mm (56.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14.5-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
