Man that 57 can move. It's not easy to beat a bike from a dig like that even if it is just an SV650. I sure hope it's a 650 anyway. It could have been a 1000 but those aren't slow. Just don't wheelie either one.

Yep ^^^^, that fitty7 hooked up. He was just gone. Love to see that up against the Katoomer (KTM super duke 990). A lot of people think bikes are all that and a box of crackers, but power and puttin it down are two different animals. Like to see them try that against a modded 'busa as well...(Suzuki Hayabusa, build for goin straigt)

Showing my retentiveness here, but note the absence of a clutch master cylinder = 650. Thou's are hydraulic clutch

Against a 'real' bike...

....one thing I know from experience, it'll hurt less in the Civic or McLaren

You're correct, Chris. It's been a number of years since I have had an SV so I forgot to even look for the hydraulic clutch.

Travis, the V-max is a very fast bike in a straight line. They are very unassuming since they look like cruisers but they move out as fast as inline four sport bikes. I'm not surprised you had issues against one.
