Current UK SV650 has a twin spark head, it's a bit of a bodge if you look at it closely, but it must be good enough to clean up the emissions.

That's a current SV650 engine, with very similar suspension and brakes. A new frame and some different bodywork. I fail to see why it CAN'T be the replacement model.

The combined footrest hangers have been a Honda trait for years (check out the current Hornet).

FWIW I like the look of the frame and bodywork.
