That smooth, characterful 90° V-twin delivers 75 bhp and 47 ft-lb of torque with strong low-to-midrange pull, easy overtakes, relaxed cruising and a deep, addictive exhaust note that many riders describe as one of the best in the class. It feels deceptively quick and is paired with easy-start and low-rpm assist that makes stalling almost impossible.
At 198 kg wet and with a low 790 mm seat height, it flicks through bends with real agility, offering light, confident steering, excellent stability and surprisingly capable handling on twisty back roads — many owners say it outperforms more expensive retro rivals in the corners.
The riding position is sportier than the standard SV thanks to the clip-ons, yet still comfortable enough for daily use and longer rides for most riders. Brakes are simple but effective with ABS as standard.
It looks sharp in proper retro café style with clean lines, quality finishes and that purposeful stance that turns heads without trying too hard.
This example features paddock stand bobbins, belly pan, Yoshimura carbon tip exhaust, adjustable levers, Power Bronze tinted screen, radiator guard, crash bobbins, datatag, two keys, owners manual and service book with six stamps in the book.
