Decades old Suzuki SV650 transforms into SV-7GX for 2026. Suzuki’s SV650 has been a versatile all-rounder for more than a quarter of a century.
A first ‘big’ bike for countless new riders and handy addition to experienced owners’ fleets that’s appeared in a variety of naked and part-faired forms over the decades since its 1999 launch.
For 2026 the SV title reemerges on the new SV-7GX with a tall, crossover stance and its sights set firmly on rivals like the Yamaha Tracer 7, but the same essential SV650 DNA running under its new skin.
A picture of Suzuki’s 645cc DOHC V-twin engine should appear as the definition of the word ‘proven’ in dictionaries.
Tall stance captures the current zeitgeist and gives Suzuki an instant player in an increasingly competitive segment for middleweight do-everything bikes.
