"Rumours are now talking about a capacity increase of Suzuki's long serving SV 650. Euro 3 is taking its toll and the popular middleweight V-twin is currently only Euro 2 homologated. This effectively means the SV has to change or disappear from Suzuki's model range. It is believed that Suzuki not only will change the SV to comply with the new emission rules but also increase capacity from 650 to 700cc. This will increase power and torque and keep the SV competitive in a new and much more competitive middle weight market. But don't expect too much as the new regulations also makes it difficult for the engine builders to achieve as much power as we have seen in the past. Hence a capacity increase is the easiest way out. Even the 1000 might get some changes and if it involves more cc's and torque we welcome the changes. Welcome 2007!"



If nothing else, it's an interesting concept. I doubt this will happen...

 

r&r is worthless...

 

those looked like the manu has raked 'em out a bit

 

Wow they are definitely interesting.

 

Why would up the displacement, its gonna expletive the bike for racing. I dont think they're gonna give the vtwins an extra 50cc's to race against the inline 4 400's. So they would have to just be in a class by themselves.

 

Yah there are a number of reasons why this wouldnt ever happen. Too much r&d and "beefed up" mods are going to make it the econo-bike no more. People would rather just buy a gixxer

 

cute thought but the 07's arent going to be borrowed pieces of old gixxers... ill eat my words if that actually happens but i wont count on it.

 

cool pics at least.

These aren't real. It's like every other prediction of a generational change. It's more the idea of upping the cc than anything.

yea i gotcha. that will be wierd if it becomes the sv700s. but that sounds kinda cool though.

 

Yah that 700s looks dead sexy, throw a highmount on there, fix those cruiser mirrors and

 

its a photoshop pic.

 

i could have done better in photoshop.

the bikes won't look that much different.

No **** Sherlock.

I think they both look pretty neat less the headlights on BOTH of them

i dont really like the pics cuz they are just Flouder's Mash-Ups of Gixxers. I would like to see a redesign of the front fairings for SV's, not aggressive (sp) enough.
