Pressure to move in the middle class. The fully disguised 700s with charming row wins are currently conquering the showrooms. Aprilia’s new RS 660 as well as that Yamaha with the famous name YZF-R7. That Kawasaki with the Ninja 650 or the touristic predecessor ER-6 F one of the pioneers, many have forgotten. Honda has been showing the CBR 650 for years how sporty middle class works, even if the high-speed concept of the quadruple demands dedication. That leaves Suzuki, who had the half-faired middle class with a potent twin over 20 years ago who basically invented the SV 650 S – known as Knubbel, with the second generation “Edge” the concept with the SV 1000 S. neighboring and finally in the arms race of the first decade of the 21st century slowly ran out. It goes without saying that the call for a new SV 650 S is getting loud again, the one for an SV 1000 S has been vocalized equally for years.

Clearly reminiscent of the Aprilia RS 660 and innocuous in its own model history.
