Hi everyone

[SVrach]

Hi,
I'm Rachel from Norfolk. I have just inherited my hubby's 04 SV650 K4,as he is getting a new Z1000. I passed my test last August and got myself a GSX600F which is a great bike but the riding position is giving me aches and pains on a run.
So i'm still getting aquainted with the SV,it feels dinky after the GSXF,but sounds so much better,especialy with the scorpion can hubby put on :smt077.

Hi Rach:D

What a nice thing to inherit..............much better than some dodgy old tea set from a Great Aunt:D

East Anglian Revolution is your local section, and there is a rideout to Hunstanton planned for next weekend if you are interested.

Hello and Welcome to the .org


for your photos you need to upload them first to a file host like photobucket then link them to your post.

[missyburd]

obviously not.....how do you post a pic?

I use imageshack, you can just upload photos onto that and then it gives you links which can be copied and pasted into the 'insert image' box. HTH :)

Oh and a warm welcome to the .org, they're a bit mad on here but certainly won't bite....much :D!

[SVrach]

I wasn't going to have it but i think a bit more experience on a smaller bike won't do me any harm and what better bike?......besides,the sv has been hubby's baby since it was 6 months old,it is MINT,never been out in the wet,and i don't think he really wanted to part with it,aahhh bless! :)

Thanks everyone :smt023

Still trying to sort a pic :confused:

[missyburd]

http://imageshack.us/ Maybe try that, but you might want to resize it when it asks you before you upload it. There are others though, just the one I use, seems easy enough and must be if I can cope with it! ;-)

Hi welcome to the org.......I wish my other half would be so kind to give me his SV...but then again I don't have a licence like you so that wouldn't really work lol :D

Hi Rach,
Welcome aboard im pretty new too.
Nice to hear you`ve got a twin now, i had a bandit before my sv and id never go back.
It does feel a little small at first but you`ll feel right at home in no time, i do and im 6ft 4" lol!!

[SVrach]

Hi Wezza,
In the 8 months i've been riding my gsxf i hadn't rode the SV,only as pillion, and the first time i got on it, it just felt so small :lol:,but it's much more 'flickable' if you know what i mean and i do feel more in control on the SV.

[Wezza87]

lol yeah i do, my bandit was a good bike but the front end never felt absolutly stable especially round corners. The sv however is a completely different story, light, agile and i always feel confident no matter what weather im riding in. Really nice ride u got by the way.... very smart and talk about clean!!!
Does the new exhaust pipe sound alot better? Ive still got the original one on mine but really want to get an aftermarket one soon

[SVrach]

I thought it sounded nice before he put the scorpion on,but now it sounds awesome! I was out on it last sunday(before we decided to keep it for me) and when i got back i said to him ,if that was my bike i'd need ear plugs cos i've got buzzing in me ears......it turned out the baffle had come out while i was riding! i thought it was loud,:lol:

[Wezza87]

Haha, im surprised you had any ear drums left! My missus goes on the back of mine abit and she cant see the point in a new pipe, she says its loud enough as it is. She`s a car person tho so its wasted on her really lol
