Approx 130mph
Book says 69hp @ Crank Top speed...hmmm, gearing, but you loose acceleration. Smaller rear sprocket. HP, usualy, cans, filters, engine mods Buy a better bike |

whats the top speed on the curvy sv650s - loads of posts about this already - an indicated 135 was the best I saw
and whats the max bhp - this one always leads to loads of arguments due to differences between dyno machines, atmospherical conditions, simulated air speeds, bhp @ crank/wheel and how can you increase both - how much money have you got and how reliable/rideable do you want the bike to be

In all honesty its how much money do you want to spend? Cans and filters will give you about 6hp in tru terms, thats with a full system cost about £800- all in with dyno time etc. If you go engine mods, then the skys the limit. Whack a can on it, and learn to ride the bike 1st is my honest opinion. I mean i have had my bike 6 years now, and to be honest, i have only ever maxed it out probably about 20 times or so. |

Buy an SV thou
Tuning an SV for power in its own right is pretty expensive, and it'll never be all that powerful. They've been taken to over 100bhp, naturally aspirated, but it'd cost as much as the bike and they're not built for long life.Standard power is in the region of 70bhp, depending on who you believe Mine ran at 69.5 at the rear wheel when standard, but dynos are deceitful creatures, I could probably have put it on another machine the same day and got 65. Either could be right.
