Suzuki introduced the SV650 in 1999 as a budget entry in the emerging naked bike market and featured both naked and fully faired versions. [2] The bike provided a sporty though easily manageable ride.
Produced from 2010 and last appearing as a 2012 model, it is essentially a fully faired version of the Bandit 1250 with top and side cases, windshield and more in its accessories list. Together with its partially faired model sibling it got a CARB certification and should return to the US market as a 2016 model.
The Suzuki Gixxer SF, a faired version of the Gixxer was launched on 7 April 2015. [10] SF stands for Sport Fairing.

The design of the fairing is important: a long, sealed fairing gives best compensation for the added weight; for road riding a tailbox may well not repay the weight penalty.
The Suzuki Gladius SFV650 is a naked motorcycle introduced by Suzuki for the 2009 model year with the intention of it being a replacement for the SV650. [1] Subsequently, in most countries the half-fairing second-generation SV650S continued to be sold alongside the Gladius until 2014.
