Default 129

129mph I put the larger rear sprocket off the sv650 on my 650s coz lets face it anything over 120 is a bit pointless, I wanted a bit more acceleration when in Wales going to the ponderosa. Anyhow nutty tarts fuel warning light crash light etc etc was very funny! On this lighter note, I remember my older brother came to pick me up from scouts (many years ago!!) I had all ready explained about my hero brother and his monster motorbike (Suzuki ap50??!!) 1977 Jubilee!!. They were impressed that I had brought along my helmet and was being picked up. Anyhow upon my brothers micron noise entrance I climbed on the back, and we endeavoured to make an impressive fast getaway to the expectant crowd. However brother dropped the clutch and the next thing I knew I was looking at the sky. The number plate and the mudguard snapped off and we ended in a heap. We then struggled to pick the bike up and could not get it going as the carbs float bowl got stuck and petrol was leaking out Not good!! Needless to say I bought the bike off him and as it was not restricted and had a 60 kit it was the fastest 50 errhhmm 60 in the west,

135mph wot fun! It reached 125 no probs then crawled up. SLOWLY! I beleave that its not how fast you can go but how quick u get there!! The best feeling in the world was having my mate off on his R1 from a set of lights. Should of seen the look of shame on his face after bragging. That will teach him to take on a V-twin

Dragstrip's fun!

Speaking of which, has anyone done a timed 1/4 on their SV? I know there're various tests which say it'll do anything from 10.85 to 13 dead. I'd like to take mine up to Crail and try it against my mates Skyline (running 13.8 last year with a slight misfire just over 5K, now fixed and breathed on)...

Roll on summer...

A stock SV650 K3 will supposedly to 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. Assuming acceleration doesn't taper off too much beyond that, it should be able to manage sub-11 second passes.

12 to 13 seconds seems pretty par for the course for the 1/4 mile.

The Americans like their drag strips and there's some serious people out there.
