The Secret SV-650/1000 Suzuki Owners Society

[svbandit]

started as a 99 naked sv650. svs conversion, after market body, 04 gsxr750 front end, r6 swingarm, r6 rims, ect. Wish I still had it, but was just too uncomfortable for anything more than an hour

FJR will fix that!

I don't know about that. The SV is more fun for me solo than the FJR. But, traveling two up with camping junk on an SV isn't realistic IMO. I do nothing but look at new SVs and well now I am looking at Maybe a Bandit. Naked upright 1250 hmmmm. :clapping:

The SV may be a little more fun for me too...in the twisties. However, for mile-munching the SV isn't even remotely close...apples and oranges. I'll take the FJR anytime I plan to ride for more than a few hours. Pain is NOT fun.

My daughter SV the day we got it, after a few mods, then in it's final configuration, with a Naked SV front triple and dirt bike style bars , made it so much easier and more comfortable for her to ride. oh and notice how she customized her tank with her name, I thought it was pretty clever.

A bit late to this party but here is my new toy/tracktool - '02 that led a previous racing life. Very different riding to work on this but quite fun. Getting back on the FJR after a few days on this thing, you really notice the "heft" of our big Feejer!

and

First trackday with it coming up in June at Road America.

I had a TL1000 give me a pretty good run for my money when I was on my Hayabusa, we started off at about a 20MPH or so roll, he was hanging pretty good then I thought I was loosing him, I looked back in my mirror and didn't see him, so i thought he must have backed off and I lost him, then I noticed he was right on my butt just off to one side in my blind spot, I couldn't believe how fast it was up to about 130 mph, then it was all over. See ya.

Nice bike, and it looked just like yours.

+1 on your beautiful SV Scooby.

Got a question about the 2009 Mars rover. I didn't see any solar panels. What's the power source?

Um WOW! I have SV Envy. I tried to buy mine back from the Boy. He won't here of it. I gotta find another.

Can you just build me one of them up?

 

[DailyCommuter]

The reason I bought my FJR about three weeks after I got out of the hospital with a triple fractured pelvis. Ouch. Oh well my insurance paid for about half of it.
Would ya believe that the insurance company totaled it?????

Let me guess: The car made a left turn in front of you?

Nope, I downshifted an extra gear or 2 with my oversized workboots on going into an offramp like a typical squid way too fast and the back tire locked up when I dumped the clutch . Had two choices : take a high side into the guard rail at about 65 or exit the ramp using the non conventional method! I picked number two, and took a short flight to the ground 20 feet down. Man was I pissed! While in the air, the thought never occurred to me that I might be about to die, I just kept thinking,"oh great, I'm going to be late for work.: yeah about 6 weeks late!

Live and learn. I panicked instead of trying to throttle out of it. But I can't say for sure how it would have ended that way anthow

For the right amount of money anything is possible...

I saw your post over on SVRider.com. I'm a member there also. Same screen name. Don't post there often (here either), but I'll keep an eye open.

Nice job on the SV.

I all ready have a Yeller '04 lined up, if it don't sell before I get the cash. I'll begin to personallize,,,, But, no where near the talent you have. Great Job!

Here are some update and retouched pictures...

 

[krashdragon]

Ok guys....

Not strictly an SV question....

but... since you're into Zuke's....

I'm looking for a smaller version of the FJR...

One suggestion was the GSX650F, basically the 650 Bandit renamed....

Had a lowered 1200 Bandit, looking for something a little smaller sizewise (not necessarily speed wise>><BG&gt

The GSX650F is already low enfu, I could just add risers and some luggage.

And I think it would work ok on the gravel roads here in Texas....

I'm only 5'6" with a 29-30 " inseam.

The GSX650F looks nice, but I think it's way too much sportbike seating... as in short rides only.

Thots?

Thanks

Mary
