What a nice track! It looks like you had a blast...especially after you got by the noobs. It looked like a perfect day being out there! SV's are such an under-rated bike. I really enjoy my K5. Thanks for sharing!
Nice Missed the opening track day at Hallet raceway on my K6 due to deployment. can't wait to get back to the states and romp around and that wonderful Vtwin of mine.
upside downdog I think it was due to emissions! It’s a model that had loads of room for improvement. Suspension, chassis, brakes, and mostly the engine had loads of potential!
alan punshon Bimota used the TL version for one of their bikes so it must be a good one. I read a British mag where they rode one on the autobahn and drafted a Hayabusa almost hitting 200mph on it. The DL is still using its version.
I love mine as well. I crush most all super sports on three street. They seemed shocked when they find out they got spanked by a 60 year old on a b-day twin...non Ducati.
@@marksfarmcraft1888 AYE! ME TOO! I turned sixty back in FEB. and the looks on sport/rrs when I take off my helmet is pure gold... even the cops whom have pulled me over let me go with out a ticketLOL. I LOVE MY "POOR MANS DUCATI"
"this engine F up everything in front" hm WELL almost everything with 100HP at the rear wheel "with the right rider will drive faster than those .in front. in this video" -tho. But anyway i love Suzuki L Twins. sv650 dl650, my all time fav is suzuki TL- S red and round. 996power to the tyres!!! :)
looking to get one of these after having sold my 650s for a gsxr 600 and discovering how much i miss the torque of the SV. Are you using stock rearsets?
@@123gtt Glorious indeed. What would you consider a reasonable asking price for the sv1000s? There is one listed in my area for around 3500 that really hasnt been molested anf remains fairly stock (give or take). I love my 83VT750 but am growing quite bored of it and would like to step up.
They are a good solid round bike, if it’s been well serviced the price is bang on for a very clean one. If you can pick up a SZ model you’ll be better off. They have a slightly higher compression and bigger throttle bodies. Front end benefits from a up grade, and rear shock
Haha. No one wanted anything to do with that 1000cc V Twin. 😂😂 I love my SV1000.

Looks like you and your SV were pretty much dominate on the track... Good job...
what a beautiful track,and sunny weather too. Cant wait for the summer
Yeah, so do I.... 7 years later :)
Cool ride on a nice track, like it.
Wow what a fun track no evil surprises but hard enough to keep you on your toes.
Shure made me happy!!!
I have always wondered why these didn't sell any better than they did. I love mine.

upside downdog this video was before I fitted quick shifter and tweeked the suspension up. I was lapping 2/3 seconds quicker

Just bought an N, its pure pleasure to see this engine F up everything in front with the right rider connecting seat and bars

Sweet sound

Iv a dyno commander on mine and a quick shifter which brings it to life mid range
Do you have any other videos mate? I was there yesterday too on a white gsxr no 26 with racing flag down side
👍
Why does it sound like your bike barely has to work compared to the other screamers?
That’s the beauty of big Vtwins, all the power is lowdown. But it was skimming the red line
Nice red head
