SV1050 anyone?
I had this email from Dan of the York Suzuki dealership. He thought this may be of interest to our group and I agree.

Re: SV1050 anyone?
It should be a fairly easy conversion to a full-on road bike: the 1050 has a nice beam frame, so it's a case of road forks, different rear linkage, etc and road-orientated styling. Maybe a little more grunt from the motor but 105bhp and 75ft-lb isn't shabby at all.
If Suzuki could get that into a package that doesn't weigh too much more than the Gen 3 SV650 it would be a cracking road machine. |

Re: SV1050 anyone?
You'll struggle to get the weight that low, considering the V-Strom is 236KG Kerb mass. My guess it would be a similar weight, around 230KG which is ok for a 1000CC bike.
Power should be more - around 120BHP same as the last one which was also lighter . . . being heavier with less power is not going to enhance the riding experience. |

Re: SV1050 anyone?
Are they going to make it into an adventurery tourer looking thing like the DL or not? Looks like they haven't decided from the questions. (Hope they avoid those colour schemes)
I'm up for a powerful, v-twin sport tourer (that's ideally lightweight!).

Re: SV1050 anyone?
I was imagining it would be more like the Kawasaki 1000 or a VFR800.

Re: SV1050 anyone?
Perhaps Suzuki should follow this example (and Kawasaki's lead with the H2) and supercharge it:

Re: SV1050 anyone?

low seat height tour with full pannier set and decent styling would be nice. but no doubts it will be fugly Japan styled. |
