Perfect bike for YC? - SV650.org

This was in the Ducati section and when we saw it thought how perfect it was for Mr Chris.

It's got his beloved TL engine, although neutered to 104bhp

, it's black, it's loud and it's tatty.

I do think it looks good and those exhausts fit in tight. Swingarm looks spindly, surprisingly, like it's off an ER5 or something.

That is gorgeous! Proper hooligan machine! Drop that castrated motor out and drop in a tuned TLS lump - happy days

Its too clean for YC.

Not a bike for him, its for me

The 104 BHP is because Cagiva downtuned the engine for more torque IIRC, sometimes having a Raptor around the house you occasionally listen to the owner

Thinking of getting rid of the black SV later in the year and finding a tidy Xtra Raptor, theres one on the bay at the moment, but I'm not exactly in the mood for bikes at the mo

Edit....far too tatty for me!!

This is the one I'm looking at, provided the guy had the horns in the garage, then its a good bike. At over four hundred quid a pop, its not good if he didn't! I reckon the price will go up to around 2.5k, I've seen Raptor Chapter members selling theis for around that on the bay, which is unfortunate for such a rare bike.

Aww don't you like a meaner looking bike Andy, I always thought the nakid one looked ghey, and the other looked like a brute. As for wheelying, no more than any other bike, and they aren't prone to wanting to wheelie just for the sake of it.
mmmm yum yum

Hows the new trumpet going...yooooooou like???

loving it tho. would recomend you give one a go if your thinking about swapping the black one out.

Good stuff.

Trumpets not really my bag Andy, neither are IL4s.
I'm a twin lover, which when the time comes, will be what I get.
