I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

My god, just listen to it. Especially from the rider's point of view...it sounds amazing.

it sounds like this bike would just bully all the rest. I mean like actually intimidate the other riders. Is it scheduled to appear in motogp anytime soon? It feels like I have been reading about it since I got into bikes 4 years ago.

Motogp went to the 800s, so that sort of puts the C1 out. It could appear in WSBK, or AMA/whatever though.

That supermoto vid...awesome.

If you have searched supermoto videos on youtube you have seen this, but for those who haven't here is a great on-board battle video. It really heats up in the second half of the video.

And I agree, that last supermoto video was loving awesome.

Ran into a corner a little hot, ran a little wide, tried to tighten my line while rolling on the gas. She didn't like it and spat me off.

gently caress, were you hurt raffie?

I was at a road racing meet today, have some poo poo phone camera footage on my youtube channel, should have higher res videos later in the week from one of the lads archos.

The last race of the day, open class technically but it was all litrebikes and some 600zs's

I came out of it suprisingly well, considering i was tumbling and not sliding. Just some bumps and bruises, nothing broken and not even a scratch.

Some sort of radiator guard. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it on there.

Is that an aftermarket rear sprocket? Looks like it to me... did the previous owner change the sprocket size?

Nice looking bike, I also love rim tape on black wheeled SV's, it just looks really good.

rimtape looks good in some conditions; in that, it doesn't, there isn't enough yellow in the color scheme to match it. otherwise the bike looks quite nice.

I must be the only one who thinks rimtape looks incredibly tacky outside of race bikes.

That looks like a converted SV650S to me - the little bit of fairing complete with an excess of bolts seems to be from the S's bikini fairing.

There is definitely something weird about that bike. Every badge has been pulled off and reapplied in neon yellow, and the passenger pegs, chain adjusters, foot pegs, handle bars, triple tree, forks, and headlight side plates have all been rattle canned. The seat and side covers are not original either. Someone had to really strip that bike to paint all of that, so I would wonder what happened to make it worthwhile.

It's a stealth tri-metal sprocket, the same size as stock but the front sprocket is slightly smaller than stock. Other upgrades include full yoshi exhaust, 525vm2 X'ring chain, GIpro w/ATRE, r6 throttle tube, and some cosmetic stuff you can see.

I'm not sure about the color of the rime tape (seems like a big issue here). I just bought this bike an am open to changing some things.

Seat is an aftermaket gel seat that is much more comfortable than stock. The side covers are carbon fiber add ons.

If you like how it looks right now, the only things I would think about changing would be having passenger pegs when you don't have a passenger seat installed, and finding some way to clean up the rear tail lights. It looks like whoever installed those lights left bare wires hanging, but it is hard to tell from those pictures. If your license plate is currently mounted behind your rear wheel, I'd also move it up higher, because obscured license plates can get you pulled over pretty quickly.

Better than most cars I see with time attack wheels. You take a silver or blue car and they throw on wheels that are all black with a red lip. Those are rough.

nice ride, SV's sound fantastic with that Yosh RS3 pipe. Be honest, was it at least partly the sound that sold you on the bike? (I know the sound pretty much sold me on my VFR)

This is all very typical stuff for SV blingers. I don't see why you think it's an S-to-N conversion either, that flyscreen and the radiator covers are OEM pieces if I'm not mistaken.

It would also be a little weird to see stock handlebars on a conversion. I would imagine that there are better and cheaper aftermarket bars available.

Totally sweet Honda cafe racer I saw walking yesterday. It was kind of rough (the big dark spot under it is from it dripping oil) but holy crap would I ride the hell out of it. Anyone tell what its made from?
