Ah - thats only the restricted ones! The unrestricted ones are, as we all know, faster. Hence the high asking price!

Custard curvys were never popular, that's why there's so many of them still for sale.

I kindly refer you to my posting here:

http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=48035


Which i cut & paste below in blue:

Actually the black go slower because they absorb heat, so expand, giving a greater air resistance (why they're not done anymore).

Yellow SVs are actually ever so slightly sticky (though you can't feel it if you touch them), as a result passing air creates a greater friction, again adding air resistance and giving a slower bike.

The "fastest" colour is actually "Candy Napoleon Blue", which avoids all these problems, although it does sound gay.


















Or maybe I'm talking out my @rse

Red ones are good too, but not as well priced as the yellow

Another Ebay bargain
