Already a dominant force in club race championships across Europe, Suzuki’s SV650 has proven to be a formidable small capacity track tool since its launch. With the new Sport model, it steps up a gear with a full fairing and single seat conversion.
At a test session at Bedford Autodrome, Ex British Superbike Champion, John Reynolds rode the new Sport and commented, “Despite the obvious attraction for new riders, the SV650 is actually a great sports bike which is very competent and entertaining on track. Due to the V-twin power characteristics it not intimidating for first time trackday riders either”.
