dpgasser Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Are you guys familiar with this motorcycle? Is this a Board Member's track bike? Thinking about getting back into Track Days this year and a little interested in this. http://weraclassifieds.com/ads/2003-suzuki-sv650-4/#axzz2w3rptmKU Any input would be greatly appreciated. DPG.

J_Copeland Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I am 10 minutes from Cortland and could check it out for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Dont know anything about this particular owner/bike, but those SV650's are supposedly fairly bulletproof. Let Copeland check it out so you can go buy that thing. Decent deal there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Or just buy Jeff's 750 tracker with loads of goodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnone Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Don't buy a bike that drinks 110 octane fuel unless you are SERIOUS about winning. Fuel costs can take the fun out of track time. At least for me. My bike gets about 15mpg on 93 and it makes cringe a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-Zapp Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think a 250 would be a PERFECT starter track bike. http://www.motoseries.com/old/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2139 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 ^^Yep, Dave can hang with the fast guys just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgasser Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 No, not a newbie, but it has been awhile since I have been on a track. Not completely ruling out a 250, but I think I would have more fun on an SV650 or 600 SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 There is something to be said for riding a 650 to the absolute limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
