Really great to hear you had a much better "track experience" this time. I was smiling listening to you say "I can not wait to go back next year....." That's an awesome feeling to have and now you're hooked. 😁 I have been with Penguin school all summer but, I signed up for my first time with Fishtail Riding school up in Tamworth at Club Motorsports 9/26 & 27. They are a different school for sure. Not better or worse, just different. Having a track in "better condition" to ride/learn on will always help with your confidence. I've heard a lot of good feedback about Canaan(I know a few of us New Hampsha' hicks have already said it but, we pronounce it kaynin, or something close to that 😁) and will look into getting up there next summer. Would be great to meet ya' and say hello! Absolutely love seeing you post up this track content! Thanks for taking the time and effort to film and edit it. Keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🏍 Randy

I thoroughly enjoy watching this video. I’m getting into racing in the next year. I’ve had the opportunity to attend track days last season and gain some “no ride” experience. I like the slow pace here and you’re going to fall in love with this as a fun hobby real quick. I met a few people who claim by the SV650 being a phenomenal first track bike. Leaning into the turns and getting your hips off the seat is what’s up. You’re killing it and keep having fun with the community, it’s nothing like I’ve seen before.

[@JRodSMX]

Loving this new content. Track riding and track focused build videos are a nice change of pace from your usual stuff. Would love to see you try some supermoto racing or just a track day at a sm or kart track. Seeing you try new stuff is refreshing when other moto bloggers just beat a dead horse with the same content over and over. Keep up the good work!

[@mj6463]

Really hoping these are still affordable in a few years when I’m in the market!

[@yurionabike99]

Save up about 4k for 2017 and up lol. These bikes will always be affordable

[@Electrictheater9]

What gen you after? My 06 naked at 18k miles ran me 2.3k back in 2017... got 44k miles on her now, she ain't going nowhere!

[@IrnMaiden304]

$3,500 and up these days, even some 1st gens going for 2k+ and not without needing some kind of work.

[@thadcox5298]

@@IrnMaiden304 bought my 08 SV650S with 46k on the clock for $1100. Just needed new clutch, levers and sliders and it was rideable and reliable. I've replaced a couple other parts here and there, but they weren't necessary by any means.

[@scarab944]

Canaan Motor Club is a blast! I've done it 2x with Penguin. Once with a rental and once with my SV years ago. It's a great track for a bike like that. Man, I need to get another track bike and get out there again. This video has inspired me, lol.

[@BlueDevilMoto]

Love seeing and hearing your excitement about getting into track riding in this vid. Did my first day earlier this year and already signed up for another (the last day available this year).

[@PRO-2717]

Great video man, was nice to see what “C” group speed is

[@OfficialistDave]

Cay-nan is the way you say it. Love that little track.

[@GRussell300]

this hurt me LOL

[@matttriestodothings]

"I have no interest in racing." lol, just wait. I bought a street 2001 SV650 2 years ago because I was losing confidence in my street riding ability and wanted to get comfortable turning right. That SV650 is straight track now, and I just got my racing license. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

[@menom7]

On a small,curvy track like that..........it's really not about how much horsepower your bike has,but more about your "torque" numbers!!! And with your SV..........I see that you have more than enough there!!! Great video man! I enjoyed watching this one very much!!! : >)

[@pauloftsushima3580]

Subscribed...i like that you are humble and focus on important details that are relevant . Awesome job brotha.

[@bxl1121]

Absolutely love the SV. Just need to upgrade suspension and it is an epic bike

[@AsianVoodoo]

Hey! Great pick getting the SV650! I picked one up last year and started racing it. It took me 11 years to get into track riding and the bug bit me HARD! If you have the budget I highly recommend getting a mini moto as well and looking up NJMP! You'll be amazed how much your confidence gets boosted after spending some time on a mini pushing it as hard as it can go on a kart track. The track days are CHEAP too! It took me two more weekends to get into A group after picking up minis. TRUST ME. Its the fastest way to learn how to ride well.

[@ArcanePath360]

I had the SVS fully faired. One of the most fun bikes I ever had. So easy to wheelie. Spent £800 suping it up too. Good times.

[@roboman2444]

Canaan is a wonderful track. I've been there countless times with cars, but I still need to get a bike there.

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Glad you got a confidence boost from here. Sorry to hear about the previous one, it's easily to get intimidated with riders further along the road of track riding experience or racing experience for that matter. But in the end you ride your own ride, but I can imagine how you felt in the previous one. SV held up nice as well. Wouldn't expected different being a Japanese bike, with proper maintenance or even kinda bad mainenance they tend to run even. But with extra tlc they pretty much run forever it seems lol.

[@cat793cdumpy]

I guess this is like riding on your favorite hills track without having to worry about cars and blind corners.

[@Szlejer]

Seems like a much better place to learn, the other one had a very negative and chaotic vibe. Don't jump groups until you are overtaking most of the group. There are always a few idiots who sign up for lower groups, usually to show off the skills they don't have. They don't know the difference between a race and a trackday. Just avoid them and have fun... Riding the track in the same gear is perfectly fine until you learn the lines and feel comfy. Set the suspension up correctly and set track tire pressures to have another huge confidence boost.

[@nhzxboi]

The 600 is fun to race. Canaan is 30 miles from me. It is pronounced K-nan...no 'can' in it. Good hiking and a little tiny race track. Fun though. If you gave a heads-up might have met you there.

[@clubstyleridahd4695]

I was out on my SV this weekend. It's such a good all around bike.

[@MuhammadHammadAshraf]

Dang, riding on the track looks like so much fun!

[@twowheels808]

On a tight track like that it’s exactly where the sv shines. Such a capable bike that’s why it’s basically the Mazda Miata of track bikes.

[@Maxime_L91]

Cool. Looking forward for a track related comparison of every bike you have.

[@ChaseN194]

Im telling you, sign up for TTD(Tonys Track Days) and never look back. The curriculum will teach you MUCH more than Fish Tails. TTD is focused more on safety and good habit building and the tracks they cover are a bit more fun. Not to mention they have a heavy focus on how to find lines and how to handle different corner types, which trains you how to handle corner TYPES. That way even if you are unfamiliar with a new track, youll be able to pick up the line faster which lets you get right to having fun even faster.

[@SOLIDESsnake1]

Holy shit that's one of the cleanest racetracks I've ever damn....

[@archiewilson4943]

After those Q3+ fronts wear out (forever and a day) just put a Q4 on the front. I can get really close times to having Q4 front and rear. It's way better.

[@joshslade3594]

You should come up to Canaan and race go-karts some time with NHKA.

[@roboman2444]

You should check out Palmer as well. Definitely not a beginner track.

[@Blackbirdrod81]

Great video and great day out for you mate. Looks like you had a ball. I have watched the other video's but interested to know why you didnt go for another 600 track bike?

[@petercservenka4593]

Nice vid! Hope to get my hands on one of those as well

[@wenerassis8435]

That's nice man. And thanks for the tips about the different kind tracks organization, that's good to know because that's really something can put us down if you don't feel confident there. 👏👏

[@upsidedowndog1256]

To ride fast you must learn to ride slow at first. No running without walking first!

[@jpaul5387]

Hey why did you get rid of your 06 KTM 450 EXC? I noticed it isn't in your motorcycle list anymore. Really enjoyed your vids on that bike

[@427Musclecar]

Awesome! You have to come NYST. Great track and people.

[@HeroRR]

It’s on my list! I’ve only heard great things about it. The drive is pretty painful tho! (5 hours) but I want to go this summer for sure.

[@ProdicalMan]

I run those same tires, awesome stuff!

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Hi Hero, you have a bike “watching” that was built for racing. Why didn’t you save the cost of the SV and just buy some fibreglass racing fairings for the 600 and track it. Then on tighter tracks you would potentially be quicker than similar rider skills on litre plus bikes.

[@matthijskoster2669]

Looks like an awesome beginner track! Shame its a couple of thousand miles from my home. Nice content man👍

[@kaushikkr1090]

Huge fan from Bangalore, India 🙌🙌

[@Johnthedagger]

Live nearby and need to get off my dead ass and do some track riding there. Looks like you and the bike had a good day👍

[@joshslade3594]

Next time you’re up there ask the track manager (older dude, long gray hair ponytail, rides an old red quad around) about his experience with lightning

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

I have that same mentality as you. Emjoyment. If there was a track in the island where I live, I'd definitely track my bikes...not for racing or peen-peen measuring competition, but to use them for what they were made to do. 😀

[@stp7049]

Love an SV👍

[@gavinbritt1349]

Love the content! I’ve been looking for an sv650 myself lol Also I live just south of Canaan and I just wanted to let you know it’s pronounced K-nen 😅

[@HeroRR]

That's good to know! Lol english is weird sometimes xD

[@gavinbritt1349]

@@HeroRR true that 😂

[@NHlocal]

Us New Hampsha' hicks all talk "funny".....ayuh. 🤪

[@user-uf4ft1dk9c]

The more laps you do the more confident you will be. I recommend that you go with the B class. You will learn more from the fast guys. See how they brake how they can carry more speed around the corner

[@2TLifesTV]

Nice Bike brother!

[@DarthDan16]

Hey ! cool project! 1 question, did u balanced out the wheels? How many gramms it needed? gg

[@eric62backstrom]

Seriously? That's your question?

[@Sniepje]

That track is sweet!

[@Themachinegun]

Wow! That was awesome! I'm not interested in becoming a racer, but I would like to do a track day. I have an 2001 R1 that I ride, but everyone said to get an R3 for the track. I got an 2016 R3, but it's super slow and I don't like the riding position or feel comfortable. I guess I'm too use to my R1. I want to take it to the track, but I worry about laying the bike down. Should I get another R1 or just go for it with mine.? Thoughts anyone?

[@TheTMschannel]

I'd probably get something like an sv650. Riding position is closer to the r1, and it's very forgiving with gear selection because of the tourqe

[@Themachinegun]

@@slovencleta Thanks for the advice. An R6 sounds like a better option or something that feel closer to my R1. My R1 wasn't expensive, but I feel like Hero does about his CBR600RR.

[@Themachinegun]

@@TheTMschannel Thanks for the advice. I've heard they are great track bikes. I've had trouble finding a decent one. Most are trashed! Haha! Maybe a early 2000 R6.

[@Themachinegun]

@@slovencleta Thanks Guys, I'll keep looking and do my research.

[@HeroRR]

You can modify the r3 to suit you better. Personally I’d try using that over the r1. But that’s just me. My buddy on his 1k was instantly comfortable on his bike on the track. Alternatively you can put clip one and rearsets on the r3 to make it more like the r1. If I were you I’d force myself to ride the r3 until it becomes comfortable then take it to the track or modify it.

[@superbikesquadracer]

Where is the BMW S1000RR HP4 2013 Competion? Thats a dream bike!!!!!!!

[@HeroRR]

Idk I have a 2014 non comp model lol. I still have it! Want a video on it?

[@tahahaider5836]

Custom livery pls?

[@CFChristian]

Sold me a few years ago. Took care of it and still had some life in it, at 10k~ miles. *Kiiiiiiinda* wish I still had it. But I was considering priorities like a nerd instead. 🙄

[@rodmckim5991]

Very cool.....

[@leeengelsman1855]

You should have been in fifth gear you can definitely take those corner's a bit quicker don't worry about extra speed on the straight. Just concentrate on your lines to become one contiguous line taking in the whole track not just corner to corner so that each corner exit point is also the entry for the next corner. This will give more consistent speed higher overal to reduce trail braking and allow quicker exits because you will be higher in the gears and power band. All ways look far ahead .

[@ErikSeastead]

he knows you can go faster I'm sure, but he's just trying to ride with the group. sounds like he will run b next time.

[@kennypool]

Shouldn't you have mirrors

You're not leaving 2 bikes on a trailer overnight in a hotel car park, are you? That's brave!

Believe me I couldnt sleep at all think I checked on them every hour lol

Lol caanan is a pretty safe area. I don't think it has a thousand people living in it and most of them are old People/ good people.

[@rampage3337]

you should have started in B. you have ben riding bikes for long enough to be good enough to be in B on a sv650

[@IrnMaiden304]

In the beginning " Two amazing bikes " but doesn't trust the one 😆. Just poking fun, I get it, the bike is ok shape but still questionable until proven otherwise, still a decent deal on it though.
