The biggest change for the 2005 MY SV650 can be observed in the cockpit area. The instrument cluster got a visor which is now color matched with the rest of the bike, for a more coherent aesthetic presence. At the same time, the bike received a miniature smoked flyscreen which provides some degree of wind protection. The frame, swingarm and wheels also got a new color. Suzuki ditched the silver paint and replaced it with black for a more racing look.
The radiator was also redesigned and is now 4 cm narrower while retaining its cooling capability, and the front brake fluid reservoir also got a new shape. If you're in for a naked bike with plenty of fun factor and grit, the SV650 is one of the best choices, maybe the naked all-rounder benchmark, even.
