Anybody will be comfortable pinning the throttle of a bike at freeway or any straight road. It's all about negotiating corners where skills come into picture. And SV650s is great bike to learn on. I'll hope on to a liter bike when I think I deserve it.

Liter bikes have good poser value but guys starting with them end up in hospital much earlier.

Most ppl in bay area start track riding on SV650s and move their way up.

I have posted some pics in Intro section.

u are absolutly right

its the corners that matter thats y a 600 is much better to learn on
i wanted a lower cc cause i could gradually learn and then go on to a litre buti guess it wasnt in my favour.
im going to take it easy man and learn the bike know the dangers of a litre bike well

So, SV650s is the "most popular Track bike" ?? Are you sure, dude?

You may love your bike. But that doesnt mean every one who rides a litre class ends up in hospital. My first sbk was a busa 08. Clocked 5k kms. No accidents... neithers drops as well. We have other riders who have 15000 miles of sbk rides under belt. No body went to hospital...

I'm sure 650 would be great....but litre class are much better... And i never read or heard that 650 is a track bike ....

Where did you ride your Busa ? Straights ? Freeways ? Highways ? Anybody with bicycle experience can ride ANY sports bike on any straight road.
Ride your busa on a technical track or twisties and you even won't be able to keep up with a skilled rider on Ninja 250. And when you try to go fast on twisties without required skill....you endup in Hospital.

I did a trackday on my SV last week and there were 2 other SVs and one of them was riding in 'A' group.

SV650s IS most popular track bike in Bay Area. I know a lot more ppl who ride SV on track than any other bike.

A rider with bicycle exp can handle a sbk ?? Are you joking ?? Then its a poor joke buddy. Looks like people on the other side of the earth ride a superbike just after learing riding a bicycle, and obviously they land at hospital finally. I rode busa everywhere.. highways,city, mud, even in 1 feet water pools in rainy season. Never rode it on the track... (rossiter .. u listening ??)

Busa was never ever a track tool at all since it launch. Its a king straights. And note one point... Superbiking is not all about track mate...

If by "handing a sbk" you mean riding in straight line......yup bicycle rider will handle. All the fun lies in the corners. I am referring to the track as road with twisties....have you ridden twisties near your home ?

Guys lets cool down

. Why don't we believe each other? If Samy said that 650 is a track tool then what's the problem in believing it? We are no SBK champs around that we start questioning everything about SBKs. As for Samy, just put your point across bro. Kriss has got a Busa and he has been riding it for a long time. And definitely a cyclist cannot handle a SBK, even not a 100CC rider in India can for that matter except he is an xBhpian

. Lol. When R1 was launched lot of people went to hospital unconscious only to wake up and say "I just blipped the throttle and next thing I found was me under my bike flipping over

".

Samy, can you tell us about your experiences on the track. We in India, as you know, don't have exposure to tracks and stuff. So, it will be really interesting to know your experience about the track. What were you thinking when you first went there, what all things you were concerned about and how you overcame your doubts and fears as a beginner on the track?
