As the title says.
I know most people on here have owned an sv and still do but on the rideouts I've noticed other bikes creeping in.
I was just wondering what the ratio is sv to others.

SV is the only bike I've ever owned! (only been riding 4 years). I think I might change it at some point but can't make my mind up what else I would want...

Jeez. Not this old chestnut again. So some people have a bike that isn't an SV. Big deal.
A more relevant question, given that the forum has changed its name to "SV 650 and Gladius 650 Forum", would be "how many people on here own a Gladius?"
For the record, I currently own a ZZR1100 but I'm selling that to go back to an SV - probably a thou'.

No option for "moved on but still have an SV in the garage, but dont ride it because its not taxed or insured" then ?
Argh...I voted wrong! The thread title and voting question are sort of contradictory! I voted "no" for moving on!
I still have the SV and will do for at least a couple of years! (Then it'll be a ZX10-R or Tuono 1000 R Factory ;))

Its just that the forum is an sv based forum and i know loads on here dont own an sv anymore, Its not an "you dont own an sv so your not welcome" thread.
If someone told me I couldn't post here because I don't have an SV, then I'd invent one and stick it in my sig... the iSV650.
FWIW, I now ride a Kawasaki Versys, but still like the pointy SVs.

Carol rides my SV and she tells me that it is a really nice bike. :smt064
However, I have another bike and that bike is so awesome, it is simply dazzling. I must admit that I have a bit of an adversion to the inline four, so I chose a super powerful...

love the SV even thought i am still part of the 33bhp club. i have lernt a lot on the sv and cant wait to do her up once i get some money :P. but i do want something elsa mabey a gsxr or a z1000 i would love to have a busa turbo :P :P :P but im really happy with the sv at the moment and dont think will part for a while
I've never owned an SV. My first bike (which I still own but is currently 'resting') was a GS500F.
I only ended up on this 'ere forum because a couple of the Soho Massive orgers invited me down to Soho when I met them on a Bike Safe course a few years ago.
tt600 - gone
... to me! :D
I love the B**by Bike, despite its little quirks.
Need more options. I own an SV currently but probably intend to move on at somepoint. Not sure what yet...

i voted yes and no
i've been forced onto a bandit. Its ok, but its a bit boring
still got a curvy SV. It was my first bike and I bought it brand new 8 years ago. DD bought me my dream bike a few years ago and once its passed it MOT on Friday I will be riding that all the time. Also in the garage is the Benelli which I will never ride as I cant reach the ground and a TS 50. Will keep the SV for my daughter. Oh also a couple of mini motos in garage, I can reach the ground on them lol
Mine through not having the cash to get anything new more than anything! I still have my SV 9 years on. However, as much as i would love a Triumph Tiger, i still think that for a while i would miss the traffic crunching capabilities of the SV, which through london, is still second to none!

Bike 1 - cagiva Planet 125 (bless!)
Bike 2 - SV650s curvy - Write off
Bike 3 - SV650s Pointy - Stolen
Bike 4 - SV650s Pointy - Stolen
- Due to cost and getting sick of thefts of bike went for:
Bike 5 - 1990 Triumph Trident 750 - Write Off
Bike 6 - BMW K1300 GT SE - Fingers Crossed =p.
Seriously considering getting another cheap SV as a sporty backup when funds allow.

SV to SV to CBR added SV sold CBR sold SV to CBR Trackbike, possibly to a Pointy or a Blade, but that will be next year :D

I'm a closet pointy fan :smt106

Still got an SV.
In bits to get sorted, subframe paint and new fork internals. Another warped disc. Possible convert from clip-ons to h/bars to aid the girlie (not my wheelies of course. Cough.) too.
Enjoying being back using my gsx14 everyday. Overkill.:cool:

Still have the SV. Have had an assortment of bikes at the same time. But the SV is the most fun little bike I have ever owned and have no intention of parting with it. When it finally gives up, I will probably go get a Gladius. The Gladius can be made to look quite good. Unlike the pointy SV.

I would have still had my SV if I hadn't done some extreme stunting action. Only have the Ducati now but once everything settles down I want to get an SV for commuting/bad weather days :) Im such a tart.

Makes 3 of us then as thats why me and treacle bought the latest sv- saves our 675 and his zx10 from winter road salt etc :D
I traded me curvey for a daytona 650, cracking bike but not me, so been thinking of going back to a curvey, just got to sort the funds out tbh, although saying that Ive me eye on a few at the min.

My thinking exactly mr speirs! I've still got my SV but a sports bike and a power ranger suit Im hoping for by next summer. keep the SV for poor conditions.
SV for commuting, last 2 bikes for this job have been Bandits.
Cheap to buy, insure and (so far) run, the SV is probably a bit less comfortable in Central London, but more fun on the country roads home than the Bandits.
When this one is too knacked to do the London run (probably another 3 or 4 years) then I'd definitely have another SV - hopefully the thou!

SV was my 3rd bike... currently on my 5th (see sig)
I do occasionally miss the sv, it did the job at the time and was the first bike that got me into the social side of biking via these forums
but I think i'll be Triumph for life now :cool:

I still own and ride mine but I've moved on to pedals a bit... If I had to get another bike tomorrow, I guess I'd most likely get another SV though, since I know how to keep one and how to make it work well with minimal effort, I don't know if I could be bothered to learn another bike. The SV still suits me very nicely indeed. Though I did always have a hankering for a late-model CBR600F
