- This past weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park I decided to enter a middleweight race on my lightweight SV 650! It was an absolutely epic race and for a number of laps, I was running in 5th after starting on the 7th row of the grid.

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!
Read this comment with my wrist and head tilted 😂
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! 🔥
Thanks man! I gotta send you the footage I got of you on Saturday
Tyler Humphreys I'll dm you on Insta!
Great video. The best on board race video I have seen in a long time. Thanks. Very Rich Oliver. Lighter bike less power and running up front. Good luck in the future. Take care
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. :)
Makes me proud to own an SV 🤣
Fantastic riding, and your commentary is very helpful for us intermediate riders in the audience!
Nice ride along . Thanks for sharing.
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!
Great videos for referencing! Keep putting in that work brother
Racing is instense. I was getting overwhelmed just watching this! I have a sv650 and love that v twin sound
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
I have much Respect for you AWESOME video!
I had the old curvy 650, great fun on the twisty roads ! Gotta love the V & L twins
love all the explanations/narrating great video!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You rock man! I just wanted to have a SV650 after watching your video 😁
Voice over was amazing! Keep it up. Please do some review on your gear, mods and stuff like that!
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!
Let us know how the trellis frame works out for ya. Still not a lot of Info whether our 20 sv's will make good twin cup bikes. Idk what your skill level is and how many miles you have put on your bike but I'd still like to know how it worked for you as an individual. I hope you have cartridges and a rear setup too man cause braking hard on those is skeeeeeeetchy lol the brakes are actually good imo. The suspension just has no dampening or stiffness.
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.....
Nice video man..... I'm definitely getting a sv650 as my 1st bike fun on and off the track
Great riding !
Awesome well done!
Dude Awesome video and great riding!
This showcases some insane riding
Tearing it up out there!!
Best one yet
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.
Really nice race bro 👏👏👏👏👏
Great riding
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"
👏👏👏 SV rules!!
Nice riding. Sweet footage. I had a hard time getting around mike too.
Thanks homie, can’t wait to be out there on a 600
The commentary is perfect man
Badass dude. Badass bike.
Inspiring to get an SV!
great vid
very nicely done.
Amazing man!
I loved this! I now want an sv650!
Amazing stuff. I'd be interested to know how much power that SV motor is producing!
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.
what a track!
Good going that mate
i wonder how an RS660 in the same scenario would have gone, great riding.
Solid performance man.👍 i wanna know more about the bike.
that flashing green light means GO
Breaking hearts
Super ride hotshot 🥴
Great racing, dude. What kind of suspension work is needed for this?
Really good job!!!!
Ask Ed Sorbo to race with you and coach. He can help you on your shifter too. Lindemann Engineering.
Aloha!!!

hello i want to put a sv on the track please tell the mods on the bike and the size of the tyre thx
SV owner right here, but I feel like an amateur when I see people ride it like 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
Bored out throttle bodies, air box has half the top cut off for air flow. That’s it, plus some baller cams
@@tylerhumphreys5312 that's a fantastic result, may have to look into doing the air box mod if it lets it flow that much better, what a difference the cam swap made on mine, just envious of your 10k+ power delivery. Thanks for the rapid response!
What gearing do you run on this?
Great riding and great use of the SV's advantages - you have more torque on exit on the SV though don't you?
Maybe a little more punch but no where near the acceleration.
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
I had it on scales recently and with a pretty full tank and a non lithium battery it was about 375
Down over 50 hp, the SV hangs in there. They pull you in the straights, but you catch 'em in the turns.
hooooolly shit that was SWEET riding
Nice
Is it an sv650s or the naked model? What year? Great bikes I’m going to get one.
It’s an S
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.

Sweet Video bro, Does the SV lean faster/better than a 600?
The chassis on a 600 is better. Arguably other than a slight weight advantage the SV brings nothing to the table
the video and commentary combo is great. no script?
Nope, just watching video back and commentating on what was going on
Great riding, what did you do to your SVs engine?
In this video the engine has some cams in it but that’s it
Were you running the stock 160 in the rear or 180?
180
Any motor work done to the SV?
Just some cams
"no sir, just got 18k miles"
What size front you run?
Pirelli SC2 120/70
What mods have you done to your SV?
To many for a comment! I’m planning on doing a full video on what I have done to the bike.
@@tylerhumphreys5312 please do! I came from an F4i, just because I got a cheap but good bike to commute with, now I just want more power lol. That f4i spoiled me. Any mods would be much appreciated. I know it's never going to be an i4, but just something to give it more pep, especially in the higher RPM range for more speed. Thanks man! I'll subscribe and wait for that video
great footage...you giving away 40bhp+ to the 600's..?
Roughly. 600's are usually around 115HP where my SV was siting at 80ish
What gearing were you running?
I wish I remembered, need to start taking notes on those things
@@tylerhumphreys5312 depending on how high you can rev the engine I think either 14/45 or 14/47 is the sweet spot for NJMP
Came for the beard.
Stayed for the racing?
Tyler Humphreys no the beard was at the end.
Stock Engine ?
It had came, bored throttle bodies and a cut out airbox.
@@tylerhumphreys5312 how much gain ?
No sé cansa de hablar?
