The S version of the 2001 Suzuki SV650 follows the recipe which proved successful for the 1200 bandit bikes: add in a half-fairing, a small but effective windscreen and you've just got yourself a different bike. The SV650S is indeed a machine which is more suitable for people who like a bit of protection against the wind.
Other than the slight weight increase, the 2001 MY SV650S is identical to is fully-naked sibling, with the liquid-cooled v-twin engine delivering the same max 70 hp and offering the same comfy seating for longer trips.
