                | As part of the celebrations surrounding the 20 year anniversary 
                  of the GSX-R Suzuki has released a special version of the SV1000S for 2005 the Suzuki SV1000SZ.
 It features a black frame, swingarm and wheels and a GSX-R inspired 
                  paint job. Power estimates for the Suzuki SV1000SZ vary around 
                  120-125 hp (a slight increase over the SV1000S).
 However after contacting Suzuki (UK) I was told the SV1000S 
                  and SV1000SZ both had a power output of 118 hp...
 
 But engine modifications have been made and the Suzuki SV1000SZ 
                  reportedly has higher mid range torque 
                  but peak torque is unchanged.
 
 (estimates on performance figures for the Suzuki SV1000SZ come 
                  from SV1000S data)
