Quality mate!!

I always wondered what the SV was capable of, going to race my mate in his Evo 8 at crail so this looks promising!!

Re: santa pod 1/4 mile

Ha ha got to love beating the lambos time!! Did you challenge him to a race???

Re: santa pod 1/4 mile
 

yeah i was well chuffed! and no he was behind me in my lane as i was in the last row of bikes before the second set of cars went, i dont think they let cars and bikes go together tho.... maybe worth asking i guess but they seem to do slots cars,bikes,top fuel e.t.c..

Thats a very impressive 1/4!!! Reaction time could have been better though? :p

I think imprezas and Evo's would be doing 14's I think. Not bad for a car! :rolleyes:

Re: santa pod 1/4 mile
 

What other bikes were running? Times?

Re: santa pod 1/4 mile
 

yeah sounds about right,

my reaction time? i diddent want to be TOO quick and whip them with my ninja ways!:smt071

weird thing is that i did a 12.9451 on my 2nd run and my 1/4 mile speed was 128 a good 13mph faster :S weird!

Went with a few 'org members a couple of years ago - managed a best of 12.3@108mph if memory serves - that was on my naked curvy.

Not quite sure how you got up to 128mph though! :???:

hope this was a good enough answer :)

Re: santa pod 1/4 mile
 

Couple of years back on a cold windy day, I done a 12.4 @ 107mph on my curvey :) totally standard

Think we had a few non S models that done a 12.1.

Look for user D4MOB on youtube, under my videos i've got myself, and a video of Skip and Logman (old users) blatting up the strip.

Re: santa pod 1/4 mile
 

Must have been a mistake as a little SV650 is not capable of trapping 128mph within 12.9 seconds.

115mph is about the best an SV650 will hit, and the time and terminal you got on your best run is about as capable as an SV gets so credit to your launching and shifting skills:smile:

I LOVED my first time at santa pod but to be honest, when you're on a gsxr-1000, it seems pointless going again unless you have that kind of bike again. Which I don't. I'd never be able to beat 10.54s on my hornet/storm. :mad:
