bikemotorcyclesmade by

Suzukisince 2003.[1][2]

The 996 cc(60.8 cu in)displacement90V-

twinmotorcycles were aimed to

compete directly with theHonda

VTR1000F(also known as the

SuperHawk or FireStorm,

depending on the market), which

was released prior to the Suzuki,

and the low end Ducati one-litre

V-twin enginedsport bikes. The

SV1000 is the big brother to the

popular 650 ccSV650motorcycle. The SV1000 shares

many common parts with the

SV650, including all bodywork

(front fairing, fuel tank and rear

plastics/subframe), but the main

frame,handlebars, swingarm and

forks are different. The front

forks and brakes are sourced

from the earlierGSX-R600.The

SV1000 owes some of its

heritage to theTL1000S,from

which it inherited its engine

which was tuned for more mid-

range and slightly reduced top-

end power.

Unlike the SuperHawk, which

had, large 48 mm carburettors,

the 2003 and later SV1000 was

fuel injectedand had Suzuki's

'Dual-Throttle Valve' technology.In 2004, the ergonomics were

revised, with lower pegs and a

slightly lower seat height,

matching the 2003 N model

(unfaired). Thecompressionwas

increased slightly in the 2005 and

2006 models, and a few other

internal items were changed,

otherwise remained the same

bike as the 2003 model.

The original SV1000 design (K3) has gone through two updates since its original release:

The K4 model - Includes a lowering of the rear-end (as per the 2003 unfaired version), and a

new selection of colours. 'Suzuki' decal on the tank changes to Suzuki logo.

The K5 model - Black frame, black wheels, shorter airbox trumpet, larger throttle bodies, anda higher compression ratio. In some markets, Suzuki carries the SZ version with full fairing

and GSX-R colour scheme.

The K6 model - New selection of colours.

Neither 1000-engined bike sold well, even though the similar 650 cc displacement bikes are

award winners and very popular. Suzuki stopped selling the SV1000 naked version in the US

in 2004, while the S half fairing version continued through 2007 and by 2008 neither model

was listed on the company's global web site, although one or the other model is still listed on

the US and UK sites.
