Yea, never been to BeaveRun... Id go if it was not requiring a membership, but I'm not gonna pay 75 fee to run BeaverRun once... I'm going to do Putnam, Grattan, Mid O, Jennings, Barber, Nelson
for 6 you could get just about anything... Id stay around the 4000 range...should be able to get one of those for a great price... Both are great bikes!
Hmm...Its like..If you are comparing to a newer liter bike with 170-200hp its very underpowered and if you are comparing to a newer 600 its overwehight and bulky with same hp... Its a fun bike to ride on the twisties and a great road bike... But IMO it might get frusterating at the strip, because you will be losing to 600's, and at the track its not the most agile bike out there... However if you are just out to get your fix on the strip and track, it would be a completely FUN bike to ride...Just not that competitive compared to the newer stuff out there! With all that aside...I miss my sv1000 very much!
I had an 03 sv1000 naked... I loved the bike, but the sv1000 wouldn't be my first pick for track or drag... Its a very fun little street bike and makes decent power, but you would get bored lugging that overweight underpowered thing around the track... You would be better off on an rc51 if you were stuck on a twin, or maybe just get a regular liter bike.... Just my 2 cents
