Hi,
I want to get myself a track bike for general trackday use not racing, at the moment I have my CBR600RR as my road bike and I have my 2004 SV650 which I was going to sell for around £2000-2500 and buy a track bike, however I'm now considering keeping the SV and turning it into a track bike. which do people think would be a better idea, either keep the SV and spend some money tuning it ect. or sell it and buy a £2000-2500 track bike thats has already been set up for track use such as a zx6r, gsxr ect? |

For the most part, a well set up SV is a wicked track bike. I think the only time you'd really notice it is on the long wide GP circuits such as Silverstone. As a track bike you could quite easily drop on a new front end and a better rear shock and then play wiith the engine as you so wish.
Sounds like a good idea to me, if you sold it, you wouldn't get much else for that money, and you know the history of your SV. . |
