The Suzuki SV650 2027 marks the return of the V-twin naked bike: the model has been certified in California for model year 2027, together with the Euro 5+ compliant 645cc V-twin from the SV-7GX rated at 73 hp. A reveal at EICMA in November 2026 is considered likely, but Suzuki has not confirmed a return to Europe.
