I have owned a sportbike for less than a year with 3000 miles on the street and four track days. I no longer ride on the street, but attend all trackdays with precision that I can!

And if any of you are in the region try getting out here its a blast!

Nice pics LJ!

Track is indeed addictive. Looks like its captured you as well!
Just curious...why no more street riding?

SVs are fun bikes. The more track you ride, you'll prob be interested in upgrading your suspension, as there's really only so much you can do & expect w/ OEM SV forks. As I mentioned in one of your previous threads, the gixxer front suspension upgrade is very popular for the SV. It will give you stronger suspension w/ more adjustment & allow you to run the 120/70 up front. The 180 upgrade in rear from 160/60 is popular too. As well us upgrading the rear shock/spring.

Also, if you don't already have them, you may want to install rearset-risers to prevent that pesky peg-grinding on the pavement.

Good stuff LJ...glad you are enjoying it!

I'm now riding a sv 1000 which has the fully adjustable suspension. 120 front and 180 rear so I'm doing okay there! I don't plan on riding on the street because of the dangers and unknown possibilities.
I plan on going to a r6 or gsxr 600 for a track bike next as a upgrade

Oh ok, that's better (always room for improvement over factory though w/ suspension, etc). For your needs, if its sufficient, then you're good to go.

Understood. Obviously your choice.

Both good track bikes.

Glad you're enjoying the track. Hope you have a good tire budget.
