“I have had many bikes in nearly 40yrs of bikes. Always the sports bikes. First it's was the 350LCs then GSXRs, FZRs. GSX1100s. All great bikes but this little SV is by the far the best bike I've had. It is also my first V twin and I'm converted. Would love an SV1000 but very reluctant to get rid. It's not hyper fast but you don't need it because it goes round corners so damned quick.”
“not done many miles as yet as the winter has set in. But, it was bought as a commuter so until the spring comes I cannot give a fair opinion of the bike.”
“I got this bike as i needed a lighter one than my blackbird
Quite a loss of power but the 650s made up for it with great handling which maintained the grin factor”
“The only thing that is a downside is the pains in my wrist from the handlebars. They are clipons on the 650s and you uave to lean down on them. So long journeys will hurt but I just keep moving my hands about to try and remedy it.”
