That's more like it. ;D

I'm going to keep my eye out for a 03. If one doesn't come around soon, I'll just go with whats available.

his own SV is so incredible that you have to see it to beleive it, like 320 wet and 90hp (reliable hp).

Not bad at all! I've seen several 90+ HP reliable SVs, and only a couple under 330. I don't have the time/cash to make all my own Ti and Al parts for my next SV, so I'm aiming for  under 350 with a race load of fuel.

Like 320 wet?

If you dont mind badmonkey, what's teh actual wet weight and with how much fuel?

335 with full tank
 ;D

I kind of like the nitro idea. It would be a good way the find all the weak points of my motor. :o

Well KC, I just happen to have a 2003 SV in street trim that I need to unload, stock (Ray hasn't gotten it yet :P) I have $4200 in it so that is what it is for sale at. Has some rash on the can and the rear brake lever is gone but that stuff needs to be replaced for racin' anyway. Oh yeah, and a dent in the tank. Let me know, Brian

Keeping up with Ed Key and beating Ed Key are WAY different things...

 ;)

And how much $$$ are in his bikes?

Any opinions on which year of SV650 makes the best race bike? Anyone running a 2003? Thanks, KC :)

I've been running SV's for 2 years now.The 03 has much more potential, but a built 02 will smoke it.They need work to improve the bottom end.The top end is great.There are tons of pre 03s for sale cheap.If you want a new 03, I can get you a deal on one.

I just picked up an 03.  I need some parts though. Front wheel with axle and lower triple. Any other race parts for the 03 are appreciated as well.  Email me off list at blade900@comcast.net  thanks a lot.
