Glee to receive SV650 engine updates
« on: March 27, 2016, 16:07:56 »
The newly launched SV650 looks quite a nice thing for the money- £5635 according to this months Ride magazine.  ( I like the round headlamp and blue wheels.......)
Powers up to 75 bhp at 8500 rpm and torque 47lb at 8100.
'Low rpm assist' is said to improve the ride in town and gear changes.

Ride reckon the V-Strom will get these new tweaks-but don't know when.

The DL650 has had less power than the SV650 since day one. The DL has a wider torque curve instead.

Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s
