Re: New SV for 2016 announced at Milan show
Wow you can see how bad the tank fits there. It's like the frame is too low to meet it

Re: New SV for 2016 announced at Milan show
what are Suzuki up to, yet another pats bin special. while all the rest of the manufacturers are making an effort to upgrade suspension/brakes on their new middleweight bikes Suzuki decides to use the same old shizz from their ever ageing parts bins. ok i get the cost thing but FFS a few extra ££ on the ticket price would entice a loooot more people to think about it rather than look at bikes such as the MT-09. the designers need taken out and shot. its almost 2016 and Suzuki are still coming up with shizz like this. yet another waste of a good engine......

Re: New SV for 2016 announced at Milan show
I'm liking the scrambler version......though it needs a decent after market pipe and maybe the ribbed seat from the 'other' concept bike (the one with the daft number on the side). Had a sit on a Ducati scrambler the other day with lovely Termignoni exhaust - Suzuki's marketing guys could learn a lot from it.....with the SV, they'd be starting with a vastly superior and more usuable bike. As others have said, a bit more attention to quality components to complement a great engine and they'd have a winner. Bring it on, Suzuki!

Re: New SV for 2016 announced at Milan show
Change the wheel colour and the exhaust and I think it would look awesome! Thank goodness the round headlight isn't completely dead yet on a modern bike (retros excluded) - its a classic good look I think

Re: New SV for 2016 announced at Milan show
Agreed. Big mistake dropping the S variant. It was a good sports bike for a beginner.

Re: New SV for 2016 announced at Milan show
Have Suzuki ruled out a new version of the S? Good for a beginner, but also appreciated by the long in the tooth like me!

Re: New SV for 2016 announced at Milan show
I have to say I am really tempted by one of these! I feel a test ride on the cards
