SV650 curvy, top speed?
What should a curvy top out at? Will they pull redline in top gear?

139mph for the 'S' (that's what its geared for).
Only down a hill in the slipstream of a bigger bike[1].  Druid [1] Which was indicating 150.

Re: SV650 curvy, top speed?
0 mph because we all know they are rubbish and break and dont actually start or move
Unlike the pointy which is great, never breaks and does a gazillion mph |

Re: SV650 curvy, top speed?
They're quicker with a bigger rear sprocket, it's hard for them to top out in standard gearing.
Generally they're slow flat out though, but great fun! |

Re: SV650 curvy, top speed?
They are quicker with a SMALLER rear sprocket and a BIGGER front sprocket otherwise you are gearing them down not up.
Unless you are saying they cant reach their intended top speed with the standard gearing Quote:
