You haven't lived until you've accelerated hard out of a corner on a Suzuki SV1000S. Its liquid-cooled, 90-degree V-twin powerplant rewards you with a monstrous surge of torque and an incredibly wide powerband. And for 2005, the good news is that the SV1000S's engine performance is stronger than ever. GSX-R inspired engine updates include a higher 11.6:1 compression ratio, less crank inertia, an updated fuel injection system, new cam timing, new. well, you get the picture. The new SV1000S is built to be without question the most exciting V-twin sport bike you've ever ridden down a twisty road.

The SV1000S has handling to match its impressive powerplant. With technologically advanced chassis and suspension systems, it offers a superb combination of precise handling, solid stability and all-day riding comfort. And to increase its versatility, the fork and single piggyback-reservoir shock absorber are fully adjustable, so you can tune them to suit a variety of roads and riding styles.
