1/4 mile in 11.82

0-60 in less 3.6

50mpg





and its kinda slow...

 

not with that fella in the background riding ...... LOL

 

^LOL! +400 *lbz.

 

DAM That guy is huge!!! btw did u take off your fairing?

 

haha, that guy was driving a speed3 and i think he was complaining about his tires being shot

my bike is a sv650 it comes naked from the factory

 

yeah, i got to ride one here at my job for lunch one day, pretty sweet ride

 

I felt bad when I thought that the guy was huge and that it was the first thing I noticed, then I read your posts....

nice bike

 

That was my first bike, except mine was the "S" edition; Suzuki SV650S. Loved it. I think I have some pics of it around here somewhere:





But you'll have a hard time running 11's. The best I did was a 12.7 but then again I am a big guy.

I was able to run a best 10.87 on my GSX-R750 tho

 

honestly i dont think i can ride it under 12 haha, hows the gsxr? i was looking at a 750 but opted for something more practical for commuting

 

I currently have a SV650S. I like it. good job on your time.

 

nice bike i ride a sv650s is that the viewpoint on mulhauland just before the snake? i ride quite often...put a fart can on that bad boy and it will sound like a beast....happy riding!

 

Naked bikes!

 

Ja, you have to go small to get good gas milage.

500 cc to 650cc

 

I see you're at the infamous "viewpoint" off Kanan. Haven't been there in a while, but I used to go to some of the wannabe canyon running races there on weekend nights.

 

yup thats muholland on top of the rock store, i was riding that baby thru a couple of times to get better at cornering.

i think im pretty much settled on a yoshimura TRS can in cf, just gotta save up 400 bux, and you think 8 parts are expensive

 

yep more expensive and less power gains...lol

 

The exhaust I had on mine was an M4 Titanium High mount- it was around $700 shipped if I recall.

I also had a Power Commander (custom tuned), K&N drop-in filter, Vortex 520 chain and sprocket kit, but that was about it for performance. Motor stuff is pretty limited on the SV's. I dyno'ed around 88-rwhp I believe, which is pretty good for the 650. I was able to pull the front end up pretty easily.

 

thats cool, did you have any problems with the crank? i plan on doing all that, maybe not the 520 conversion but i want do the gsxr swap eventually,

 

You mean the GSX-R front forks swap?

Yeah that's a great mod- I was gearing up to do it but I just decided to buy a GSX-R, lol.

Bike never gave me any issues except for the battery crapping out once and leaving me stranded for an hour, no biggie though. Fresh batt and the bike was good.

 

some updates

 

Does the big guy ride? It would be pretty funny if i saw that dude doing some crazy knee banging turns. Would be a slap in the face to most riders haha. Anyways ride hard! But try to keep your passengers intact XD

 

i would pay to see the big guy drag knee

no he drove a mazda 3 with very bald tires (i wonder why)

 

You laugh, but I knew a guy a little bit larger than him who could drag knees with the best of them!

This thread should be retitled "Calling all SV605's" . . . '01 SVS here. Just installed an Ohlin's rear shock and Traxxion fork kit last weekend. Thing rides like a different bike with the new suspension!

 

I used to have an 01 SV650S... best bike ever. I hate bumblebee sportbikes! V-twin low end grunt powaarr! :P
It sounds really nice when you remove the resonator/spark arrestor thingy from the muffler. Big pain in the rear though.

 

No love for the kawasaki 636? I had an 05 , guess i dont belong here XD. *walks away slowly*
