How many people have fond memories — or a fond current relationship — with the Suzuki SV650? Legions, probably.
The lovable middleweight V-twin has been around for a quarter of a century now and has been pressed into duty for everything from commuting to work to winning pro racing titles. That made the SV a good choice for a proof of concept episode of Highside/Lowside. The plan is that Zack and Spurgeon will use a future episode now and then to discuss the history and attributes of motorcycles that have become lasting icons.
The hosts also include comments from actual owners of SV650s and other odd facts about the line as they cover everything SV, from the model's introduction in 1999 to its unloved detour in the Gladius years to its return to its roots with the current model.
