Suzuki has a new model ready and it will be called SV-7GX. What’s more, all the information indicates that it will be presented this week at EICMA and that it will be one of the great novelties, if not the great novelty, that the Japanese manufacturer is going to bring to the Italian city.
As revealed by Motorcycle.com, Suzuki would have been working on the new model that would have a certain relationship with the SV650, but that at the same time will be more focused on a more sport-touring crossover style that could bring it closer in design to the GSX-S100GX.
The presentation of the new Suzuki products and, presumably, the SV-7GX will take place on Tuesday, November 4, so we will not have to wait long to clear up doubts about what they have prepared in Hamamatsu.
If there are no surprises, the SV-7GX will have a V-twin engine
What we can do is speculate about what we will find beyond aesthetics itself. And the name tells us that it will be a V-twin engine if we look at Suzuki’s way of naming models. At one point it could have been thought about an adaptation of the parallel twin of the GSX-8S, but as we say when including the V, as with other models of the brand, it is understood that it will be a V-twin.
In a way it is disconcerting, since the platform would already be developed in terms of engine, but at the same time it could open the way to a new range. That remains to be seen, although what does seem clear is that the displacement will be close, either above or below, to 700 cubic centimeters if we follow the logic of the numbering that Hamamatsu uses in the latest models.
And in recent times Suzuki seems to be emerging from the lethargy in which it was immersed for a while while restructuring everything, and is regaining the rhythm that it should not have lost.
Could it have something to do with the Suzuki SV650 that is now only sold in the United States as it does not pass the Euro5+ regulations? That question will not have an answer until November 4, so we will have to wait a few hours.
