    That was only a gsxr600, but, that Chevy is very fast. I've seen this video before.

    He's probably got 60k + into that old Chevy.

    I would like to see these two machines on a twisty road though. But the rider needs to be replaced by someone who knows how to ride. Those 600's need to be kept spooled up to go really fast.

    Not even Horkn. Looks like a SV650S to my eye. ;)

    You are right MasterMech. I had to turn up the volume. Sv 650. Pretty much stock sounding too. So the bike is a 75 HP bike. No wonder.

    Convert it to a SV650N handlebar setup (no clip-ons) and it will be a lot more comfy to ride. I kinda wish my SV1000S was an N model. (Über rare in the USA) riding posture was all kinds of wrong for me.

    Lower fairing was not standard equipment on the 650S. One way to instantly spot a 1K vs it's little brother. The other is the dual exhaust but that gets modd'd to a single quite frequently.

    I hated the stock clipons on the TLS. I looked at a few before buying mine, and mine had heli bars on it, along with less miles and a full yosh exhaust system. Heli bars are much better than stock, but they have poor customer service. When one let go, yes, no warning, it snapped at the weld from no real stress, I put on woodcraft riser clipons. Even better than the overpriced heli bars.

    Not my style but to each their own. In the right colors, I've seen some awesome looking full-faired SVs.

    I like that too. But with these pipes, and the traditional gsxr blue white scheme. d22f6b04ca5859f9abf039445dc09246.jpg
