Uhh, not really.



What are you talking about? What do you know?



Well besides living with an amateur racer, working the pits at races, setting up bikes, and working along side racers with 15+ years experience, not all that much. Not to mention Ive ridden the SV (among other bikes). . . . . Can I tell you what bike I usually dont see at the track?

Im not saying its a bad bike, but I wouldnt call it a helluva track bike, thats all. I would call it a helluva practical bike that can get down to biz if needed.

EDIT: Well, after thinking about it a bit, I take back some of what I said. The classes I was around where the 600 and 1000 classes, and you didnt see the SVs in those, ever. There were some SVs in other classes (not many), but they were the weird classes and I dont remember what they were. It could be a good bike out of the box for other racing or maybe you ment for general fun. Compared to a lot of the 1000s and 600 sport bikes, it really isnt all that great for the track. Maybe it is for its class, I dunno. Thats what Im comparing it too.

I mean stick it next to any of the new GSX-R, Honda RR, Kaw. RR, or Yami Rx, and I have a hard time calling it a race ready bike. Thats all.
