love how we have some vtwins on the track. I have a zx10r and my friend has a sv1000, power delivery in and out of corners gave me goosebumps. love the sound too
***** I miss my track days but at least i can watch you guys blast around! I had the S1000RR. I have never really looked at the 848 but that is one hell of a nice looking bike!
Yes, Dan, both bikes were using stock forks and rear shocks in this video; The only non-standard equipment is an aftermarket adjustable ride height linkage on my 848. I also use a higher Cst oil in my forks (23 Cst vs. 22 Cst oil that came stock). I am considering a suspension upgrade next year.
Hey Track848, question for you, what sort of camera set up do you have and do you have any rigging up to stabilize it on the rear of your bike? Cheers, Kururu
+Kururu9360 Hi there Kururu; I use one older GoPro Hero and two that I purchased earlier this year. I have no special rigging: Suction cup mounts for the camera on the tank and the one hanging off of the right fairing. For the rear, I use a simple adhesive mount placed directly to the fairing. I tether all cameras with soft, white cotton string--it's easy to tie and will not cause any damage to the paint. In the video you can get a glimpse of the rear mounted camera at 5:05. Hope this helps!
It's my steering damper--a.k.a. stabilizer. It helps keep tankslappers from turning in to full-on crashes; here's the best way to show you: ua-cam.com/video/zol-CSKSFqs/v-deo.html ... without it, that incident most likely would have resulted in a 'high-side' crash. Many track day organizations require one when you make it into the intermediate or advance riding levels; it is a requirement for racers, as well.
Yeah, I know, Sinisa--a lot of variables at play. Mainly it comes down to rider skill; Justin #trackbikez has moved on to a Kawasaki ZX-6R and we need to get back on this track to see who's the fastest now!
HP is important, but on the track rider skill and capability are equally (if not more) important. As I mentioned at the 0:50 mark in the video, Justin (the SV rider), is better than me (the 848 rider) through the technical sections of this track and he is a better 'late-braker.' He couldn't catch me on the straights, though 😀. I have seen good riders on the smaller SV650 beat the crap out of riders with less skill on litre bikes on the track. There's an example of such a rider in the first several laps of this video that I made at another track: ua-cam.com/video/QbEb71tUgMc/v-deo.html. Riders with 'average' skills on 4-cylinder 600s, 750s and 1000s or other bigger twins would not be able to keep up with him on a race track. Finally, as a sidenote, the 134 number is claimed hp from the factory, the stock hp number for the 2009 848 is closer to 120... mine is around 122-124 hp at the rear wheel with aftermaket slip-ons. Thanks for viewing and commenting!
I'm glad you thought that was funny. I was actually thinking beforehand maybe I shouldn't write that. But no, I don't think he did. Dahmer was a real sick puppy. He ruined a lot of families. Anyway aside from that, would you recommend the SV1000S? I have an SFV 650 and love it but I want another bike.
@@flatlineoptimism2600 I agree, Dahmer was a sick one! Back to motorcycles: I would absolutely recommend the SV1000S if you're looking for another bike. In addition to my Ducati 848 I also have an SV650S, and I absolutely love it. The power delivery is similar to my Ducati (both are twins), and I doubt there are many bikes as dependable. The SV1000S would be an excellent choice!
@@Track848 Very cool. Thanks for the feedback. My SFV 650 really is an SV 650. It was just a different style they came out with in 09. It really is a great bike. The 2 cylinder torque and smoothness to it is never ending fun. But I've seen nice deals on those 1000cc SVs. And for 2800 to 3300 dollars that's something I really might just do. I figure it to basically be the bike I got but fully faired and an extra 35bhp. Thanks again brotha. Ride safe!

+Tay I agree--I love my twins (I have a SV650S, too)!
lovely smooth riding, great job
Thanks Cartaun! This is a great track for sure!
I put this video on just before I lay me down to sleep. Ahhhhhh I do love the sound of a million sweet lullabies gently caressing my eardrums.
LOL!!! thanks for viewing!
Nice smooth riding i love it!
+spike lee Definitely one of my favorite track days of the 2015 riding season. We had a blast!
***** I miss my track days but at least i can watch you guys blast around! I had the S1000RR. I have never really looked at the 848 but that is one hell of a nice looking bike!
Nice video! Made a cameo appearance as you were heading in. Glanced through my videos and think that is the only time we were ever near on track.
+Ryan Hill I could feel ya sneeking up on me!
Fun battle between Suzuki SV1000 & Ducati 848 at Mid Ohio! October 2015.
+Track848 Love the use of the multi-cam. Keep it up!
+PinnacleStudioPro Thanks for uploading the tutorial... it was very helpful in completing this video!
nice vid..love the sound from Ducati ripping the track.
+saber2299 Thanks, I love that sound, too. It makes me feel like I'm going faster! 😊
Wow she pulls hard, but the sv was pretty impressive as well.
are these both on standard suspension set ups? great vid btw love it.

well done Charles ... you're going to need new knee pucks soon!
+Desmo Andrew I might wait... that way I'll be forced to get more lean angle, right? :-)

Just a question...What's that GPR bolt on your streer and what is it for?

it should be oposite, you have less kilos, beter handling, les torquve & almost same hp. He is biger than you and he did not keep sv in optimal rpm??
Yeah, I know, Sinisa--a lot of variables at play. Mainly it comes down to rider skill; Justin #trackbikez has moved on to a Kawasaki ZX-6R and we need to get back on this track to see who's the fastest now!
Comparing 134 horses to 116 ...... quite odd the Ducati didn't do it better.

@@Track848 it's because you set it us as A vs B. It's a comparison.
"Fun at the track on x y" is something else,)
@@mcdk72 👍🏻
You kinda sound like Jeffrey Dahmer.
Hahaha, LOL... I'm sure I've seen him on one of those true crime shows, but I can not remember his voice... I wonder if he rode motorcycles?
