Learn the Passion.
Suzuki has expanded its learner-approved range of motorcycles, already the largest in Australia, with the arrival of the 2009-model SV650S 'Learner Approved'*.
The addition of the Learner Approved SV650S* brings Suzuki's LAMS (Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme) approved range to a total of 13 motorcycles, providing choices to suit all shapes, sizes and preferences.
The ECM (Engine Control Module) has been re-mapped to match power output with the legal requirements for learner riders, while remaining true to the model's handling and riding characteristics.
There is something about a V-twin sportsbike, the way it looks, sounds and feels. Two cylinders in a classic layout. An elongated exhaust note under acceleration. A feeling the SV650 range takes to a new level.
The latest generation SV650 series. So many radical solutions, so much unadulterated fun.
*State and territory regulations relating to the range of motorcycle models approved under the Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme may vary. Please consult your local authority before purchasing. Suzuki does not warrant or represent that the models shown are approved in each state and territory.
Features
- 645cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4-valve per-cylinder, 90-degree V-Twin engine tuned to deliver broad powerband and crisp throttle response with class-leading power and torque.
- High-quality engine components include cast-aluminium-alloy pistons shaped to minimise reciprocating weight and shot-peened chrome-moly-steel connecting rods.
- Downdraft, straight-port cylinder head and compact 11.6:1 compression ratio combustion chamber for efficient combustion.
- Innovative Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) digital fuel-injection system, featuring a secondary butterfly valve in each 39mm throttle body, results in more seamless, linear throttle response along with increased torque at low-to-mid rpm range.
