sv650s+crash+new owner+enthusasim+cash injection+imagination= project SVR!

well the title sez it all..sv650s+crash+new owner+enthusasim+cash injection+imagination= project SVR!

recently aquired and in a non road worth state, first step is to get it mot-a-ble and onthe road as a spare legal(ish) bike and then i can get carried away with modding it.


initial ideas have come to fruition.. thought id post my provisional sketched idea ...

Very similar to the "modern cafe racer" based around a TL1000 lump, that I've been planning the past two years. Looks good

..or maybe a sssa (single sided swingarm) rear of the vfr/triumph 1050 ilk??

This is my next possibility....

nice drawing!

wish i could draw!!

Looking closer at the design you are going to have a few issues, the exhaust for a start wil be a lot of work as you need both front and rear headers to have the same flow. The air intakes wouldn't be a good idea, not a funtioning good idea anyway, and the twin side mounted rad is OTT.

If you really want to make that bike I would suggest that some parts should be dummy parts, this then leaves the SV to work as intended.

on the funny side u could look at it as a genuine artists impression, which we all know in the real world is 99% the exact opposite of what it looks like!

look at the latest nissan micra cabriolet in pink- the artist sketched it and it looked like a mini ferrari. in reality it was a pink turd with a electric roof so people could see the loser whos driving it
