    Ehh, SV guy’s are Cult like.... You have to run THESE forks, this year model, can only make X power before it blows up, can only go 2mm over, Blah Blah Blah. :D

    Kris goes faster on GSXR forks than 99% that swear by the stock forks, the only differance between the dual plug head and the single plug head is a extra plug in the side... no real differance either way. I do beleive the ECU and electronics are better on the 07-10 bikes and if we build a bike for next year it will most likely be that year model just because.

    I've always been partial to the non-inverted 46 mm forks. Those work very well when set up right. Sorta midway on the rigid spectrum. Have a set (with ashtrays) up in Reno. Maybe if we get a B bike for next year...

    Suzuki went with dual plug head because Honda did it 11 years earlier with their 650 twin, the Hawk...

    Suzuki will introduce a single sided swing arm in 2026...

    If you're interested I finally decided I have to unload this package...http://forums.13x.com/index.php?threads/2007-sv650-ss-turn-key-race-package.334164/
    Updates since that 2016 ad: SS build in 2017 by Hord with one race weekend and 1 track day on it (79 rwhp). 1.5" rise Woodcraft clip-ons in addition to a no-rise set. I rode this Monday at Mid-Ohio and the bike did fine, I just can't gel with the ergos. I was going to post it for sale in the spring but no time like the present.

    Maybe that's why the 2007 is shitty, they copied the Honda..

    Consider MotoAmerica elegibility if that is a possibility for you.
    All of the versions have advocates ... do you prefer Chocolate or Peanut Butter ?
    Have fun !

    Does the 2019 SV have three valves?

    You are obviously an old woman if you’re considering a SV.

    It is a girl’s bike...

    Honda’s stuff is patented. So they tried to copy it. :p

    No, but my 3 valve Honda makes more power than your 4 valve SV:Poke:
