Sv650 EvO

[Jan K]

I began playing around with an very ugly bike who I bought for 700€, A first gen SV.
My first Idea was making a bike to my wife but ones finished I discovered that she didn’t want it...

[Jan K]

Things I did:
Adapt a front end of a Cagiva Raptor 1000
Get rid of the horrible faring, lamp, Instruments
Changing exhaust
Short gearing for local hill fun
Radial brake pump
Etc..

Japonés red

Better handling

[Jan K]

Getting more colours

[Jan K]

Twisty roads her we come!

Beguin looking a bit better

Cool! I love SVs. They spent the money in the right area on the frame and engine.

Thank you, I like all kind of sporty V2 because of vibration, sound and feelings.

As my wife didn’t want it I sold the bike to a friend, He has been using it for a little bit more than a year and now he has brought it back to me for a second Evolution
This was the end of the first part of this bike,

So I have begun making a new subframe as the rear end looks a bit boring

Looks great and I think the red frame really works. Carby one with the curvy frame is definitely the way to go with this.

I raced them in our MiniTwins series a dozen years ago and always fancied doing a spunky road version - part cafe racer, part back roads racer and part trackday bike.

and then saved all the money they could have spent on the rest of the bike like suspension, brakes etc and made them as budget as possible.

Yeah thats true Compared to the ER5, Bandit, Taser, Hornet etc, it did at least have an alloy frame and bespoke engine

That’s the idea,
Low budget bike with tons of driving pleasure, I live in a place where everything is about mountain roads (Gran Canaria).
