SV in this months performance bike mag faster then a 1098
Just picked up a copy of this months performance bike magazine and low and behold my old SV is in there!
Its got a new paint scheme in fetching orange and its had a bit of engine work now but its still recognisable. also "this sv beats ducati 1098s fact!" see page 75 for a look here's what it looked like when i owned it

Re: SV in this months performance bike mag faster then a 1098
Its on an aftermarket alloy rear subframe so gsxr race plastics can fit.
I got it from sarah at stevejordan motorcycles who used to have gsxr race plastics on her old sv race bike |

Re: SV in this months performance bike mag faster then a 1098
I'm tempted to get a pointy with a black frame and make it up to look like that, but with the forks from a K6 gsxr750 so it looks almost like my dads bike.
But... ...I dont have the money, the time, nor the garage space |

Seeing that thing on the road was a bit surprising

Re: SV in this months performance bike mag faster then a 1098
Not sure how pb mag can justify the "beats 1098" tag.
It states in the feature that the new owner Anthony Porter took third in the darley moor sound of thunder races i'm guessing he beat someone on a 1098 or has faster lap times?? Obviously thats totally subject to the rider of each machine but it sounds good doesnt it
