Engineered by Suzuki for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2009 Suzuki SV650SF ABS utilizes a 645 cc (39.4 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. 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 SV650SF ABS measures 203 kg (448 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,470 mm (57.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
