Racing Against 600s On A SV 650 At NJMP! 

It makes me laugh when people dismiss the SV650 as a "beginner bike". Yeah, a beginner can ride it, but in the right hands, it's a pretty capable bike!

On a tight track with lots of curves and not much for straightaways, the SV is a beast.

Anyone else leaning through the corners on their chairs? Great riding and commentary!

Makes me proud to own an SV 🤣

That was just great to be involved with through my PC screen. I absolutely love my old gen 1 SV and to see an SV leaving 600s behind makes me smile. I've been riding 650 twins for 53 years and 2 years ago I brought my first Suzuki SV 650 and it's blown my mind. What a fantastic motorcycle that just loves passing big sports bikes through the bends. So easy to ride fast and it never feels like it wont do exactly what's asked of it. The way you ride your SV against those 600 4s is a real pleasure to see and I'm so glad that you put this video up. Thanks for showing us what a well sorted little Suzuki "V" twin can do in the right hands. Just brilliant!

Great video Tyler! The voice over definitely helped me understand your movements and your mindset through it! 🔥

Fantastic riding, and your commentary is very helpful for us intermediate riders in the audience!

Awesome race, Tyler! I love your strategy of maximising the SV's mid-range engine strength to compensate with our disadvantage of less top-end power while still not risking unnecessarily. :)

This was great to watch, and the commentary was actually very helpful, especially for me just getting in to track riding, and hopefully one day I can race. Hope to see more!

Nice ride along . Thanks for sharing.

Using the torque to your advantage - excellent race man. Wide (like you said) on those initial turns but after that - wow. You harnessed the power band well. Nice low v-twin revs against those straight 600's. Catch em in the turns

Racing is instense. I was getting overwhelmed just watching this! I have a sv650 and love that v twin sound

Great videos for referencing! Keep putting in that work brother

I had the old curvy 650, great fun on the twisty roads ! Gotta love the V & L twins

Me waiting for my chance to go slow "oh Tyler's on racemonitor in a MW race, that's weird I didn't realize he brought a 600 this weekend" *looks at lap times* "weird I thought he would go faster on a 600 than on his 650"

You rock man! I just wanted to have a SV650 after watching your video 😁

Great riding !

Awesome well done!

Voice over was amazing! Keep it up. Please do some review on your gear, mods and stuff like that!

Tearing it up out there!!

That pass at 4:00 was on my buddy Scott Briody great dude out of NY, Teagg Hobbs Sponsor and owner of Innovative Motorsports. Nice ride man we are going there this weekend for our 4th round of NEMRR based out of NHMS.

I have much Respect for you AWESOME video!

Dude Awesome video and great riding!

Great riding

Great sv video.such an underrated bike..Ihave an sv1000s on the street.ive modded it to hell and after 10 years ime still reallly happpy with it.kudos keep on racing.....

This showcases some insane riding

Nice video man..... I'm definitely getting a sv650 as my 1st bike fun on and off the track

That’s pretty good man! For an sv50,to threaten an r6... nice! I’m doing my first track day on an sv650 2020 next month so if I can do that great! But yeh expecting everyone to pass me on the straights, cornering, boom those bikes can go nuts!

love all the explanations/narrating great video!!!!!

Really nice race bro 👏👏👏👏👏

Best one yet

Badass dude. Badass bike.

very nicely done.

Amazing man!

Inspiring to get an SV!

👏👏👏 SV rules!!

I loved this! I now want an sv650!

great vid

Nice riding. Sweet footage. I had a hard time getting around mike too.

The commentary is perfect man

SV owner right here, but I feel like an amateur when I see people ride it like this.

Good going that mate

what a track!

Solid performance man.👍 i wanna know more about the bike.

i wonder how an RS660 in the same scenario would have gone, great riding.

Great video and commentary. On board audio could maybe be lowered just a bit when you're talking. Always appreciate when people put some effort into video.

Super ride hotshot 🥴

Breaking hearts

that flashing green light means GO

Down over 50 hp, the SV hangs in there. They pull you in the straights, but you catch 'em in the turns.

hello i want to put a sv on the track please tell the mods on the bike and the size of the tyre thx

Really good job!!!! Ask Ed Sorbo to race with you and coach. He can help you on your shifter too. Lindemann Engineering. Aloha!!! Al

hooooolly shit that was SWEET riding

Nice

Great riding and great use of the SV's advantages - you have more torque on exit on the SV though don't you?

What gearing do you run on this?

@tyler humpreys what engine modifications have been made? Even with stage 2 cams the power flattens out above 9.5k, yours seems to pull even 10k+. Great video

Amazing stuff. I'd be interested to know how much power that SV motor is producing!

the video and commentary combo is great. no script?

More or less how much ir weights? I'm thinking if to make full track bike from mine but I'm curious how low weiight you can get without crazy expenses

Just watch twin cup or mini twin races here, and you will see what one can do with a sv650. For me it's loads of fun and my friend's with their big bikes are allway's frustrated when i drive them crazy with my little beginner bike 😉. The old fuel injected ones have by far more power than the new ones. At least here in europe.

Is it an sv650s or the naked model? What year? Great bikes I’m going to get one.

Sweet Video bro, Does the SV lean faster/better than a 600?

Great riding, what did you do to your SVs engine?

Great racing, dude. What kind of suspension work is needed for this?

"no sir, just got 18k miles"

Were you running the stock 160 in the rear or 180?

Any motor work done to the SV?

What size front you run?

great footage...you giving away 40bhp+ to the 600's..?

What mods have you done to your SV?

What gearing were you running?

Stock Engine ?

Came for the beard.

No sé cansa de hablar?
