a stock sv1000 would take you in a strait line for sure........in the twisties it is more rider than bike.

yeah, I've got a K&N filter, pc, fresco exhaust, and he tried to race...

Ok i rode any bike you can imagine i did many miles on s2r's and rode SV1000 too... S2R800 doesnt come close to a SV1000 with similar skill riders.. same goes for S2R1000, SV1000 is in the league of Ducati S4 and S4R as far as power and power delivery...  maybe the rider was a begginer... Where did you race? was like a highway race?

Anyway Bike Sold now so people can sleep without any nightmares of been beaten by a 650! [laugh]

I've come to understand that my bike is not a straight line performer.  I have no doubt an sv 1000 would walk away in a straight line.  Do I care? Not in the slightest. Why? I've ridden both.
You can live to 100 if you give up all the things that make you want to live to 100.

hence the reason we own Monsters.  plenty of Busa's for sale to do the straights.
Can we thin the gene pool?

The SV650 is arguably easier than any of the above to ride well on a track, where there are not a lot of straight lines. With good support from the after-market, it resurrected the LW twins class, and is a damn decent learner or commuter, track bike or racer. And if you do mange to throw it down the road, you're not out the long green.
Like I said, if I only had had 2K last week. [bang]
The good news is, they made about a million of them. ;D

CMRA is full of those in LW and HW Twins ...

Oh common Giannis.  The little girl is probably like Pedrosa.  She weighs half what your buddy weighs and rips out of corners like a rocket.   :P   I hear yah though, the SV is a great bike.
