Pros and cons
Advantages
ABS included
ABS on both the front and rear brakes can help prevent wheel lock during hard braking.
Adjustable rear preload
Seven preload settings make it possible to adapt the rear suspension to a rider or passenger load.
Strong torque figure
The engine’s 64 Nm at 6,400 rpm gives it useful pulling force without needing to rely only on peak power.
Things to consider
Weight at walking pace
At 198 kg wet, the SV650 takes more effort to push around or balance at a standstill than a lighter motorcycle.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
