Suzuki is set to debut a new SV 1000 and SV 1000S for 2003.
Motivation will come from the 996cc V-Twin engine once seen in Suzuki's TL1000S.
Fully adjustable 46mm forks suspend from a rigid aluminium vacuum-cast frame.
Braking is handled by 310mm discs up front with 310mm 4-piston calipers. A single 2-piston caliper works on a 220mm disc at the back.
