Looking at racing 650 but which????

First off, I have the wife's 2018 Ninja 650. I she has explored moving into a 600 for TC when we get stuck in the rain while traveling. It is stock for sure, but modding it is expensive but fun for sure.

Plus I have 16 yr old that may want to ride. So the 400 would fit in well

Thanks

2nd Gen SV650.

- Excellent track platform with plenty of knowledge and support over the years
- Still very competitive, especially in the novice class
- Bike prices are inexpensive, can pick up a setup SS bike for $3k-$5k
- Used parts are plentiful
- Interchangeable GSXR parts

 

I had a similar decision to yours. I have a 2016 Ninja 650 and used that on track to start. I started to spend money to make make that a dedicated track bike but realized I was going to spend way too much money to get the bike where I wanted it to be. Just the suspension alone gets you close to the cost of the SV. There are also a limited amount of people running the ninja, so you would need to buy mostly new parts.

I would sell the Ninja and keep an eye out for race built SV's for sale on the forums and FB groups. I bet you will not spend much extra money if at all.

 

Pretty much sums it up.
