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

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

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.
