ive spent the last few years as a bike mechanic and have riden everything from little 50's to the fastest of the fast, i havnt riden this years gixer thou yet but if its anything like last years(more power less weight this year methinks) you can't keep the front wheel down, you need a big road with a perfect surface before you can use any of what its got, im saying this from experience, not what iv'e read in magazines. the sv is so much easier to ride fast on the road, get them on the track and it would be a totaly different story.
on a different note......
putting the 1000cc motor in mite be an idea
.....
anyone done it?
if so.....
are the mounts the same? does the chain sit right with the 160 wheel and swingarm?
