Suzuki’s new SV7-GX looks to be one of its stronger offerings this season, despite its slightly misleading moniker. The bike, which uses the same 650 engine as previous V-Strom and SV models rather than the larger 700cc unit suggested by the name, fits into the popular light-middleweight soft adventure touring sector, and Suzuki has given it a more attractive price tag. The 2026 ‘crossover’ model will cost from just £6999 when it hits showrooms later in the summer, and should help the Japanese firm meet stiffening competition from China. The entry-level price applies to a plain white version, with the graphic models available in metallic blue, greige or black paint, costing £400 more at £7399.
Suzuki GB’s head of motorcycles, Jonathan Martin, commented: “We’re really pleased to be able to bring the 7GX to market at such a competitive price point and with a great spec sheet to match, which really reaffirms our commitment to value. We have obviously made a number of recent revisions to our pricing – including taking nearly £3000 off the OTR price of the GSX-S1000GX+ – and I think this confirms to customers that those changes are not short-term, offer-led changes, but represent a genuine long-term shift.”
