Sport-touring model gets CARB approvalsuzuki sv 7gx certified for us as a 2027 modelLast November, at EICMA, Suzuki introduced the SV-7GX, a new middleweight sport-tourer based on its venerable SV650. Unfortunately, there was no official word on whether the SV-7GX would come to the U.S. market. Thanks to new emissions filings in California, we can now confirm Suzuki will offer the SV-7GX in the U.S. as a 2027 model.Read More:2026 Suzuki SV-7GX – First LookThe California Air Resources Board has issued an executive order certifying the 2027 SV-7GX, and while we still await similar approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, this is a clear sign that Suzuki will indeed be adding the sport-tourer to its U.S. lineup.suzuki sv 7gx certified for us as a 2027 modelThe SV-7GX is powered by a 645cc 90° V-Twin inherited from the SV650. To meet modern European emissions standards, the engine is paired with a new exhaust system with dual O2 sensors and a new catalyst. Suzuki claims a peak output of 72.4 hp at 8,500 rpm and 47.2 lb-ft. at 6,800 rpm.suzuki sv 7gx certified for us as a 2027 modelThe styling draws inspiration from the GSX-S1000GX+, with a half cowl fairing and tall windscreen. With upright ergos, and 17-inch wheels, the SV-7GX joins its larger sibling as a "crossover" model - a sport-tourer with adventuresque looks.AdvertisementAdvertisementWhile we now know the SV-7GX is coming to the U.S., we don't know how much it will cost. In the U.K., Suzuki priced the SV-7GX at £6,999 (US$9,350). That's about £200 less than the Burgman 400, which retails here for US$8,949. That means we can probably expect the SV-7GX to be somewhere in that range.Expect an official announcement from Suzuki Motor USA in the weeks to come.2027 Suzuki SV-7GX SpecificationsEngine Type4-stroke, 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHCBore × Stroke81.0 mm × 62.6 mmDisplacement645ccCompression Ratio11.2:1Fuel SystemFuel InjectionStarterElectricLubricationWet sumpHorsepower72.4 hp at 8,500 rpm (claimed)Torque47.2 lb-ft. at 6,800 rpm (claimed)Transmission6-speed constant meshFrameTubular steel trellisFront Suspension41mm telescopic fork, coil spring, oil damped, 4.9 inches of travelRear SuspensionLink type, coil spring, oil damped, spring preload adjustable, 5.1 inches of travelFront BrakeDual 290mm floating discs with four-piston axial-mount calipersRear BrakeSingle 240mm discFront Wheel17-inch cast aluminumRear Wheel17-inch cast aluminumFront Tire120/70ZR17M/C (58W), tubelessRear Tire160/60ZR17M/C (69W), tubelessLength85.0 inchesWidth35.8 inchesHeight51.0 inchesWheelbase56.9 inchesGround Clearance5.3 inchesSeat Height31.3 inchesFuel Capacity4.6 gallonsCurb Weight465 pounds (claimed)2026 Suzuki SV-7GX First Look Gallery2026 Suzuki SV-7GX First Look GalleryView Gallery68 photosCredit: Photos by SuzukiBecome a Motorcycle.com insider.
