I had no idea the SV1000 could go balls out at 190! This must be one sweet SV...

The statement "this bike was known as "the wheelie machine" is what makes me laugh. If he did any research he would know the SV has been known to blow engines when in a wheelie since the V-twin engine does not get proper oil when in that position.
Hoopty blew about 3 SV engines this way!

I'd put $5 on it that bike is Canadian and is showing km/h on the speedo. $14k new could only be in Canadian money.
That is funny as hell, that guy is so full of shit.
It's a typo...he typed mph, when it should have read kph...
This is as bad as the guy that came into the shop a while back that told me his 03 YZ250 made 112 horsepower

Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.

i didnt even click the link. got the laughs from the thread title and the forum its in
Wow...I learn something new everyday. Here I thought the SV struggled to keep up with today's 600s, and was done way prior to 160.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH *wipes away tear* 190?!? My ZX10 only does 172 at sea level stock. I just don't see the SV1000 doing anything faster than that without heavy mods. And yes, the vtwins don't make good wheelie bikes because the engines don't get enough oil.

For the record, top speed is 146mph at 7,500ft altitude on a stock(ish) SV1000s.

"If not us, who? If not now, when?"
Yes indicated, but it was not my bike and I was not riding.
