Suzuki's makeover of the SV650 could be one of motorcycling's best deals. The original SV650 was a great bike that proved popular as an inexpensive track-day scooter because of it's reliable motor, light weight and good handling. The two DL650's we've had that use this same basic motor have been reliable machines, easy to maintain, good fuel mileage (up to 67 mpg on Pam's V-strom) and great fun for the buck. This 2017 version has a boost in power, an all new steel frame and a low seat height. I could even see it equipped with a screen, bags, a better seat and making a good light touring bike. A change to dual purpose tires and a skid plate, a scrambler.
