    Default Finally back on 2 wheels

    Well I finally decided to get back on 2 wheels, been roughly 4 years since I last rode so I kept it on a budget and didnt go power hungry. And by accident I ended up with one of Japans best all around bikes. This is my 2007 Suzuki SV650S. Mods so far are, a dark tinted GP windscreen from Zero Gravity, Silverstar ZXE headlights(life savers), BMC Air Filter, Yoshimura RS3, Michelin Pilot Power Tires(waiting for install), LED City Lights, Kaiti Reaper Tank Protector, GSXR 750 rear wheel swap, GSXR 750 fork swap, Hot Bodies RSK Undertail(back ordered), Hot Bodies No Mod Frame Sliders(back ordered). Future plans are a big bore kit(maybe), PC III USB(if I got big bore), Marchesini Wheels, rear seat cowl, rear peg delete, and a respray of the factory Cherry Red paint(love the color can't help it) Here is a few pics of her, enjoy.

    I went down, my last bikes were an 03 GSXR 1000, a 2000 TL1000R(my first bike), and finally a 2006 Hayabusa(stolen). None of them seemed as fun as this little guy, the torque band and low wet weight make it a blast around town event though there is a drastic performance drop from the Busa

    I'm debating on the Vance and Hines CS1 Slip On and the Vance and Hines Header. Any one have any experience with V&H's stuff?

    You know I went down myself in size and I personally luv it. I went from a 06 GSXr 1000 for a 2000 Ducati Monster 750, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The only thing I miss is going as fast as the speed of sound and almost endless top end.

    I'll build another liter bike for race/track purposes but this one will always be my street/fun bike. I think I'm gonna look for an RSV for race/track...mainly because I've always wanted one

    Got my oil changed tonight, now using Mobil1 4T 10W-40 Full Synthetic. It seems to have quieted down the V-Twin clatter my bike makes, now if only the weather would warm up so I can get my tires changed and ride it, see how the gear box likes the new lube
