Name for my race bike

[FROSTY]

This season Im going to be campaining a SV650.Many plans are afoot and in motion to turn the evil handling gutless beast into something at least as good as Mella Yella .I must say its a heck of an ask
The way SV's make power is totally different to what Im used to riding so its gonna be a heck of a learning curve.
I've had the bike dyno'd very recently and its putting out a meazley 62.5 hp and runs out of power at 9000- reving it higher is only for noise cos it sure aint goin faster.
Handling wise its diabolical -as those that saw me at Manfeild will attest to
A real tendancy to be vaugue in the steering and when the forks get hot it starts to Waunder in the front end.
Any hoo I love to name my bikes and so Im sorta thinking Black Ice or Black shadow. Any other ideas from you lot greatly apreciated.
ACTUALLY --lets make this fun
Whoever comes up with the name I use for my bike wins a free track session on it at the Taupo track day.
Put ya thinking caps on folks

[Marknz]

show us a piccie to get the idea juices flowing...

[curious george]

The 'Black Bouncer'?
'Dung Beetle'
'I can't believe that's only a 650!'

Anyone who suggests something lame along the lines of 'Black Beauty' gets instant red rep. FFS.

[FROSTY]

I was gonna be a total lameo-and repaint it same color as mella yella

[Paul in NZ]

Nomad Noir?

[TwoSeven]

Well, since they make all their power as a big lump in the middle. Why not call it 'the camel'. Paint it yellow even.

[kiwisfly]

How about "Black Arse Ow!"

[chickenfunkstar]

Hmmm, a track session on an averagly powered yellow SV with a dubious front end... sounds familiar. Mine's called Sasha. A friends girlfriend suggested it and I can't think of anything better.

Trust me on this one my freind. By the time the track day comes around it will no longer be underpowered or evil handling.
As we speak parts are winging their way in my direction which may just improve things -in the handling stakes hopefully a LOT
Ive been yakking to a bunch of guys overseas who have been there done that so its a matter of paint by numbers rather than the big experiment.
I just need the parts to arrive and the transformation will begin.

[Sniper]

How about Spud?

Are you going to use longer spacers and heaver weight oil weight oil again?
Do you do the work on it yourself or do you get someone else to do it?
Anyone in Auckland you'd reccomend? I've finally got some bling to spend on my bike.

Sorry if slightly OT.

[Sniper]

Aaah yes, Frosty don't forget the Weight oil weight oil. I will give the bike double the horsepower :moon: :lol:

[chickenfunkstar]

A V Twin called Black Shadow. Well, precedent is certainly illustrious enough, but it might not be received well in some quarters ?

[froggyfrenchman]

Nope -Thats where Im at now--heavy oil and bigger spacers--heaps better than stock but at race pace pretty scarey--That evil cackle ya hear as I go past is actually histerical laughter.
In my Gargre is a set of gsxr600 upside downers awaiting wheel/disks/calipers/steering head bearing.
A great KB er is selling me his used ohlins rear shock

[Marknz]

Suits your colours and your racing intentions.

[crazyxr250rider]

How about 'Even Mello'a Yella'

[crashe]

[White trash]

What the hell good is a black window? You'd see fuck all through it....

[crazyxr250rider]

[crazyxr250rider]

black widows are spiders

[White trash]

Actually, Frosty should name it after his favourite sex toy.



Black Mamba

[crashe]

Wow, sounds like the type SV which makes all the other SV's cry at interval.
Call it a name which is completly opposite of the bike. Something like Mavis or Guertrude.

[FROSTY]

Well I could call it Norma Jean I sopose.

[Sniper]

How about SV?

[aff-man]

Archibald Cornelius.... Rex

[Sniper]

Sparticus.

Ethel.....
As in "the Aardvark" ?

[limbimtimwim]

Any hoo I love to name my bikes and so Im sorta thinking Black Ice or Black shadow. Any other ideas from you lot greatly apreciated. (The) Black Sun.

Sounds Japanese.
Google tells me there was a Japanese warship called "Black Current" (Kuroshio), but they were referring to an ocean current, not a berry. :-)

[Juan]

Venimouse :2thumbsup (and I can't do the track bit... so I win.... costs you nowt!!!).....for now :wavey:

Super Version .....

Hoppers paddock bike....

[Gremlin]

sorta come up with this after (I think it was crazyxr250rider) somebody said SVage. I dunno what colour bike (but from what people are saying) I'll assume black.

How about (The) Black Vision, Black Mirage, Black Rage? The is optional

Actually, using a Thesaurus I came up with a few more:
Black Fury
Black Wrath
Black Thunder
Illusion
Tornado

could also drop the black, that would add a few more.

do I win simply based on number of ideas?? :woohoo:

[mikey]

nigerian scam,

after all your riding a 650 in a 400 class,

You can call it whatever you like,,

But we all know, come the end of your first race day on it,

That Damm @%##*^^ Suzuki!!! :brick:

[Gremlin]

Your welcome to it. Prototypes never work, improvements are always better :Pokey:

And anyway, even if Frosty decided my ideas were the best I wouldn't take up an offer yet. Wait till I have more experience.

[gav]

blackadder ?

[curious george]

nigerian scam,

after all your riding a 650 in a 400 class,

or is it a 650 at all? Care to confirn or deny Frosty?
Nice one Mikey :clap:

Mates wife's 05 Sv650 put out 75RWHP on the dyno at GP Has full Amulator kitted forks , full Ohlins rear shock,ohlins steering damper , Full Yoshy Exhaust & Power Comander is like been on Rails .Work all done by Robert Taylor down here . Give him a PH

Uh...... for the general (average, ignorant) public is it easier and cheaper to simply buy an inline four 600 ......????? Or is the SV with all the kit better bang for buck??

[froggyfrenchman]

[FROSTY]

"quasi bum watcher"

No quazi Ive goddit--quazilapper -cos at 1.15 ill be lappin ya by the end o the race.
Mikey-the rules say up to 450cc multi and up to 650cc twins -thems the rules.
JSG--as above
Sensei--yea I know the 05 injected bike has 75 hp But the carbed is soposed to be 65 Mine is for some reason down 2 hp
Hey the SV at 80% of race pace is a really nice stable bike -its when you really start to hammer it that the cheapo forks start to give problems.
Im going down the gixxer600 usd track -Im told they are a heck of a lot more tuneable to different riding styles.

yES THATS A GOOD NAME, BASED ON MY PERFORMANCE (OOPS) ;) at puke, the bike was not quite right then so I couldnt go to quick into turn one and the last turn as the bike was shaking cause the fairings were loose, Dss3 is making me up some brackets to get that soughted out. Might even get a damper as well.
I reckon I should be about 1.12 on race day, I hope, what you reckon youre getting ??? I thought 1.12 would be on the pace ?? tell me more

[FROSTY]

The really quick F3 guys get 1.06-1.08's To be honest I dunno what I'm getting on the SV Im hoping its somewhere near race pace
I think --(and don't quote me )Im currently doing 1.12's
Im gonna try a bit of sprocket changing because I'm running out of steam halfway down the back straight.
On Mella yella with douggie riding the SV In a straight out drag race I would haul away from him on the second half of the back straight then the vague front end would slow him up going up to the hill

[texmo]

How about Scarab - they are black and you are getting back into racing, the egyptians used to believe that scarabs signified regeneration, renewal, and resurrection.

Also, they feed on dung.

[texmo]

Thats how they became famous, because they roll the dung along they though the dung bettles were like the god who rolled the sun across the sky and though that the dung bettle could prduce its young from the dung with out mating, they also have an oil that they produce to stop shit sticking to them.....

[mikey]

nigerian scam,

after all your riding a 650 in a 400 class,


or is it a 650 at all? Care to confirn or deny Frosty?
Nice one Mikey :clap:

i was wrong there, a not very noisy (needs a louder pipe) sv650 told me someone had turned it into a sv700

so its definitly the NIGERAIN SCAM
as the thief will be riding a 700 in a 400 class.

[FROSTY]

Pay yer money and protest me mikey :banana: :banana:

[Posh Tourer :P]

How about Alice then...

as in the camel? (see page 1)

[thealmightytaco]

I'm confused as to whether it's yellow or black. If it's black call it Michael Knight. Or put a red led lightshow in the front and call it Kitt.

Oh yeah.

[texmo]

quietus is a good name a little late perhaps.

[FROSTY]

well its down to 2 names--Black ice or black lightning --baby bikie wants black lightning

[Gremlin]

Toss a coin, or take black lightning...

Could even have one yellow bolt on the side to boot. :niceone:

How would you get that onto your leathers then??

[justsomeguy]

well its down to 2 names--Black ice or black lightning --baby bikie wants black lightning

I see it must be important since it's keeping you awake at 3:18am.....

Black ice is a slippery wretched thing that hides like traffic cops and causes unpleasantness........

WTF is black lightning supposed to be??:mellow:

I still say Dark Horse.....:headbang:






See you later at PinkHogs should have the brake bits then, or will drop it around your place if we miss each other.

[FROSTY]

Well as a matter of fact mr JSG its the name suggested by Baby bikie
Seems cool to me--Ya never see it coming and ya wonder wtf hitcha.
