Hi guys/gals,

Thought id post, have been looking around on these forums for about a week now and have picked up loads of tips and ideas for the bike i am hoping to get, an sv of course. Depending on comfort 6'3 could be a issue?
I have my test at the end of the month and cant wait, im from bristol and when/if i pass and get some wheels sorted out then hoping to me up with a few people from the sw, to pick up some riding tips and have a laugh.

Anyway enjoying the fourms and hopfully be seeing more of me soon.

cheers

Rob

Hello!

Regarding your concerns over comfort: I'm 6'5 and don't have an issue with the SV (K6) bar being unable to jam my knees under the lip of the tank (Which doesn't bother me at all). It might be an idea for you to pop down to a local Suzuki dealer and have a sit on one though.

Hello and welcome, a lot of newbies recently...

Indeed, getting those DAS sorted before march it seems. Good choice of a first motorcycle is the little SV. Good forum banter and chat so jump in :lol:

Ah what a pain! Hope they can fit you in soon. I'd have thought the test centres are a little bit quieter aty this time of year.
