[Burst]

This has to be the sexiest SV I have ever seen. Oh if I had money.... :evil:

Looks like they took a brand new SV and stripped it down before it ever had a chance to see some normal use.

It looks like they spent a pile of money on some primo parts. When looking at that picture it struck me on how easily it really is to modify the SV, and how varied the results can be.
I.E. the bike above, a clean naked, then this ( ! ) Look closely at the frame.....

WTF! :eek: That is crazy!

I like the rear swing arm on the first bike. I wonder where it came off of.

Just a guess, but it looks like something you'd get custom made by Spondon -- not off of anything and big $$$. What else: A set of Marchesinis, Ohlins shock and Ohlins Superbike fork$ (with what looks like R6 brake calipers), appear to be Yosh rearsets to go with the Yosh carbon fiber pipe, custom alum. subframe and I can't tell what kind of radiator, professional paintjob and no evidence of any lighting so you have to figure it as a racebike (so why does it have DOT tires?). No idea if they did anything to the motor -- I'd hope so with all they spent on everything else. Figure you're looking at $20k plus including the bike -- WITHOUT any major engine mods, which could bring it to close to $25k :eek:

Very nice work though.

enjoy,

That first SV is beautiful.

I've seen pics of SV dirt bikes before. I'd think they're kind of heavy for a dirt bike. Lots of horse power, though.

That gold rim makes me want to lower my sv and mount a chrome skull where the parking lamp is.

Seems to me like you take the $20,000 you spend making an SV look like a Ducati...

...and (revolutionary thought) actually BUY a Ducati!

I know someone here is gunna say..."But Nanducc, an SV is BETTER than a Ducati!"...

But Nanducc, an SV is BETTER than a Ducati!

Sorry I just had to say it. :p

Well, I rode my friends Ducati last night. What a different bike. I was asking for my SV back after about 30 miles. It was fun, but not that much fun :-)

THe SV is a much more reliable bike. Well, maybe not reliable but much lower maintenence. If I had $20k burnign a hole in my pocket and nothing else to spend it on, I'd probably be riding an SV that was set up pretty much like this one.
