2015 SUZUKI SFV650 Review

Design - Build a European-style Japanese style and decisive flavor SFV650 follow the "naked car" concept has no frills approach. The minimum leave too much body panels and engine exposed framework, leaving a little imagination - the same small front fender, almost non-existent guard. Headlight housings, front turn signals, steering and compact combination light / taillight assembly is unobtrusive and well integrated into the overall lines of the bike, keep it clean and tidy.

For me, the seat looks a little thin side, but Suzuki's credit, at least in the seat cushion looks better than P- degradation, we are accustomed to seeing more comfortable in general optimistic. This should be happier passengers without advance more cash after the sale and the handrail, will help ensure that you and your derrieres departed with the same number of destinations.

Chassis - Suzuki started with the use of the engine as compact, open grid-type frame to emphasize parts to complete the skeleton. Steering geometry kept within reasonable limits to 25 degree turn heads and 4.09 inches clues left turn signal and responsive. Although the 41 mm front forks is most riding style and conditions sufficiently powerful, the front passenger reported feeling a little 'wimbly "increasingly aggressive in the corners of the time.

To be fair, the entry-level riders will probably never put enough mustard can be found on this myself, but experienced riders will find that little thing on the lack of rigidity. In addition, some riders also expressed that the rear suspension is a bit harsh (read: harsh), but has been found that the installation of a 'Gixxer 750'monoshock this particular pumpkin turned back a coach and - 9. Rider triangle is a little tight, though it may be identified as the average height of the rider, the high riders will be taken advantage of an optional 'high' seat, so that their knees to their chin.

Transmission - four-stroke, DOHC 645 ml plant to provide enough power to start the lightweight 445-pound sled of your favorite route is not large displacement engine associated with the threats. The 90-degree, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine from the benefits of Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder plating, which works to improve the heat transfer, while reducing the friction of the piston to the cylinder and the combustion gas blow-by.

Four-valve head and open combustion chamber of the engine through the dual 31 mm 25.5 mm exhaust valves intake of breath. Suzuki single valve springs reduce valve mechanical losses, but I do not know how they are set up to prevent valve float in this high speed range. Individual throttle bodies hired Suzuki Dual Throttle (SDTV) system to feed another pot. Here's where things get interesting - each throttle body includes two butterfly valves, a rider's control, and the other is controlled by the engine management system, leaving us direct control and ride-by-wire technology, a strange combination.

Because I do not believe that sheer ride-by-wire system (call me old-fashioned), I think this is a good compromise. The six-speed transmission funnel power to the rear wheels through a new strengthening of dogs and gear impact noise is spring loaded primary gear reduction and sound attenuation layer clutch and secondary transmission shaft sprocket cover.

The SFV650 sells for $ 7,699 to move a 12-month, unlimited mileage warranty, but the package is limited to pearl paint vibrant blue / pearl white glaciers.
