“It’s a very powerful and light machine.” “ The result is this freaky beast,” says Alf. To achieve his goal the 645cc v-twin received performance camshafts, a performance clutch with a hydraulic actuator, a high flow water pump, Woodcraft cases, specially tuned carbs and a handmade exhaust fitted with a Spark GP Muffler. “I was obsessed about making not only a good looking bike but also a very high-performance machine”. “I worked hundreds of hours on the engine!” Alf says. This meant it was going to need significant performance upgrades. According to Alf, “The process of matching everything was long and required a lot of creative fabricating.” but in the end, the Honda tank looks right at home amongst the Suzuki gear.Īt some point during the build, Alf decided they would enter their Suzuki SV650 into the Café Racer Sprint races at Glemseck 101. The Honda NTV tank was contributed by a fellow cafe racer enthusiast in Greece so all that was left to do was fit it to the SV650 frame. Surprisingly Bandisca found a fuel cell solution on a Honda. With the replica front fairing and Alf’s one-off tail in place, it was evident the SV tank needed to go too. “To recreate Mihaela’s designed I also built some aluminium parts that complement the fibreglass items.” Alf’s handmade alloy additions include the tail unit and the subframe it is perched on.

“We needed to make a lot of complicated mods to fit it to the SV frame,” says Alf. To kick things off Bandisca secured a set of replica GSX-R body panels from fibreglass experts Airtech Streamlining. Her design added early nineties styled GSX-R750 bodywork to the SV frame, a bike that Alf has had a life long love affair with, and he quickly changed his tune. To get Alf across the line she put pen to paper and sketched out a concept that pulled on Alf’s heartstrings. Mihaela, on the other hand, was sold on the SV platform. At first, Alf wasn’t convinced it was the right choice for Bandisca’s next build. The donor for their project was an ’01 Suzuki SV650 K1. Of course, any machine that looks as sporty as this needs the power to back it up and Bandisca husband and wife team, Alf and Mihaela have made sure of that.

Believe it or not, hiding beneath its retro facade is a humble Suzuki SV650. This stunning Suzuki GSX-R750 Endurance Racer homage is the work of Romanian workshop Bandisca Motorcycles. But my guess is that will all soon change. Secondhand SV650’s are easy to come by and people haven’t yet begun recognising their potential as a donor for customisation.

Best of all a secondhand donor could cost you as little as a couple of grand. Add some better suspension, shed some weight, and you have a potent little track bike on your hands. According to some owners, it’s possible to bump the stock 72bhp power figure up to a very decent 100bhp without having to increase capacity. This has resulted in riders and performance shops eking significantly improved performance out of the humble SV650 platform. Thanks to its affordability and the bike’s global following many SV’s have ended up on the race track. So what does the Suzuki SV650 have going for it? Stellar handling characteristics, a bulletproof engine and huge potential for customisation. Older models feature uninspiring nineties naked bike aesthetics and the latest model looks like an early edition Ducati Monster. Unfortunately, the SV’s styling is also showing its age. Despite being one of the highest spec bikes in its class back in ’99, a standard SV650 lacks the grunt to compete with 4 cylinder motorcycles in its class. That comment is probably going to get me in a bit of strife with SV650 fans, but it’s the truth – deal with it. That doesn’t make the twin-cylinder UJM sound all that exciting, and to be honest, it isn’t.
