SUZUKI SV650
The SV650 slotted into a category that was not generally met with sales success. Light weight, simple sport bikes just didn't seem to be roaring sales successes, at least in the USA. This machine however, garnered a very substantial heap of praise from the press. It had great power, handled exceptionally well, had terrific brakes, and to top it all, was very reasonably priced. Add to that the low insurance costs and the SV was destined to make the Suzuki sales department very happy. Suzuki stepped into this market carefully however, and only offered the 'standard' SV650. The TL1000S inspired SV650S was not sold in the States... until 2001. By then the SV had established a good following, and the new model was likely to sell well.

Power in 1999 was 65.2hp, with torque of 42.4ft/lb's. Wet weight was 417lb's.
