Top notch behaviour!

Looks like they were designed for jumping...

I recognise the sponsor...

More pics and words from the rider can be found over at BARF (http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=307965)

TWF are the top dogs in tuning SVs, but I would not have bet on this!

Take a bike and do the most unsuitable thing you can on it, fricken genius

I like Zorans take on it about the air filter (or lack of, on that bike!)

I like the way he has Pilot Ones on as well. IIRC they're like a trackday tyre and are barely legal on the road. :cool:

How on earth does that have the ground clearance to do any of that stuff 0_o.
Awsome stuff, would love to give that a go! :) must be blooming hard work though!

I race my SV against Supermotos but i would definitely stop short of an actual Supermoto track, that guys a hero, check out that landing! The SV's actually quite good on gravel, my problem, and looking at the photos his would be as well, is that the GSXR conversion reduces the lock even further and you frequently find your self on the lock stops sooner than you wanted....I've also got a bloody great set of straight bars on mine!

I see a curvy SV650 with a GSXR front end and a newer gsxr tail fairing.

I also see it airbourne. hmm BRILLIANT!

That's awesome... Just brilliant.

Reminds me... There's an old boy in my local, who used to be hugely into his scooters... And one day he says to me, "I raced for the Lambretta team once". Raced? Where? Some sort of scooter event? "Nope... The Scottish 6-day Trials. 1959, it was ". Then he gave me a video of it, black and white TV footage of him and 2 other loons riding their 150cc scooters up and down a mountain. They picked up more time penalties than any other team in Trials history but I think I'll let them off.

Slight bump.

I posted those photos on another forum and someone knew the rider:


That's Dan Sewill abusing one of the Code 4 SVs. He's consistantly up at the top of the AFM SV650 class, and he finished 4th in that race. Not bad for a guy on an SV :D Super nice guy and a fantastic rider.

I failed to do that on the GS, bought a X-Challenge to do it on, then gave up :lol: Friend of mine did quite well on a V-Strom.
