Dunno about SV prices...

the Duc is a good price depending on mods.

well?   

We went with 04 SV650 and first track day on it coming up May 17th!   My issue will be getting used to clip-ons, coming off Monster with Rizoma bars  Undecided   And, prolly doing worst thing I can do-swapping between bikes same day, but mostly be on Monster since having to share SV with hubby in same class for time being  Roll Eyes 

EVERYONE told and still tells us SV for track, gonna find out soon!

good luck & have fun  Smiley

well, we swapped stock SV fork springs for RaceTechs AND put heavier weight fork oil in-guess will see improvements very soon-Track day 17th of May!   Grin







now to get Monster ready too after this Sunday's ride. Will be crazy riding BOTH, but I will mostly be on 696, get few laps in on SV, this time.

+1

Remove everything they want taped up.

You'll save a bunch of money if you go down. 

Also, +1 vote for the SS!

When I decided I had too much money into a lot of stuff on my M900 that would be hard to replace I went looking for a track bike. I was not worried about my own skills or self control but the others who I watched that lacked the skill and mental maturity, thre is one or two at every track day. I thought about the SV, but thought it had a few chinks in it's armor, it was designed as a street bike that became a track bike soley because of the price of admission, and well it just seemed to lack soul. So I found a good deal on another Ducati, 2v. The Ducati is a performance bike, engine, chassis are designed for performance and is as comfortable at the track as it is on the street, and of course it has soul. Me it would just have to be a Ducati but do what moves you, life is short, enjoy it. Just my $.02 - Gene

it did indeed...but the way the bike was set up at that point, the fairing stays rigged into place were a bit hokey and shakey...I had a bracket made to clamp onto the steering head downtube and run a normal fairing stay with a SBK upper only and I think that is actually even better...
