How much miles did your SV do when you bought it/converted it to track bike? I'm thinking about a SV trackbike as well, but mine has already done 36.000 km... So I'm thinking of getting a used bike with as few miles as possible.
That's ~22k miles. My bike had done not far off double that when I got it.

Its still a solid engine, just not very strong HP wise compared to even the stock pointys I came up against at Lydden. If that is a pointy-v-curvy thing or just the miles on my motor I don't know (my bike has a race can, K&N and 14t front sprocket tank raisers etc, so should have had the upper hand against the totally stock bikes on acceleration, but it didn't).

Regardless of absolute HP output, it runs sweet as a nut and perfectly good enough for trackdays
