Hi foks

I've decided i need an sv for racing , comuting and a bit of distance work.

I intend on gettin a crash damaged injection bike and putting some gixer forks on and maybe a big bore kit.

I currently race supermoto but fancy another bike too.

What do you think of my current ride?

Its got the usual stuff, slipper clutch, billet 4 pot caliper, talon excel wheels, race rubber, micron serpant system, high compression piston, ported, polished, knife edge rod, hm racing suspension.

It goes well but i like the idea of a road bike too.

Welcome to the site, if thats usual stuff then ill take one please :D

TBH your better off buying a better spec'd bike before doing it up, the big bore kit and gsxr front end will cost money which could of been used to buy a better well equipped bike to begin with.

Just my two pence though the SV is a great bike as everyone here will agree

Hi

Anyone know how much you can get a crash damage bike for. I'm decent with a spanner and did all the work on my bike apart from the tuning stuff.

I'm looking to get something built up over next few months.

What year/model are you after?

Best bet is to trawl through the for sale section

Welcome to the forum :thumbsup:

As for your question, well I prefer the wheels on the ground :lol: Nice spec. Have fun here, most are daft :smt026

I forgot folks, cards behind the bar for beers all round.

I want a bike that is quick (not rocketship quick) but the main priority is handling.

I was looking origionally at a prilla rs250 but fancy on of these and an attempt to make it handle.

Price wise i'm expecting 2k at end of month, hoping to get a crashed bike with mangled front end/fairings for 1000-1500 then 500 for trick bits and front end.

Is that realistic?

hiya,

there are a few people on here who race SV650's, so there will be advice for ya floating about.

you will be able to get an uncrashed damaged SV for that money you know, so havent a clue how much a crash damaged one will set u back.
