Hi There

I recently bought a 1999 SV650SY and though I 'd better let you know about me and my bike. I have been biking since I was 17 but after a long stint of driving cars I got back to it 10 years ago. I had had an assortment of bikes along the way and have just upgraded from a GS500. The SV just appeared on the scene and I love it. It really suits me and my style of riding. What a bike.

My bike has had some work by the previous owner since it first appeared on the road. It was originally a SV650S but the fairing has been removed and a small fly screen added (like my GS). the bars and indicators have been changed, the body work painted black (was yellow) and the rear end altered.

I have already fitted a fenda extanda and am in the process of transplating my touring Scottoiler, which requires a bit of work to the rear end.

Enjoy the photo's, I'll enjoy the bike.

Thought I'd tag on and say Hi too. I'm a completely new MC rider having messed around on hairdriers for the last 7 years.

I passed my test 2 years ago on a restricted (I got 0 faults!) but never bought a geared bike because I really wanted the Piaggio MP3... i will not take insults about this - it's a brilliant piece of kit I'll have you know :)

Anyway, I thought that I'd take the SV as my next step up and I have to admit that I'm already loving it...

I'm very much looking forward to doing a TPS mod on it tomorrow morning (it's a bit jerky)

I also have a touring screen ordered as when I took it on the motorway I found the wind was pretty uncomfortable...

So anyway, enough of the garbled message writing... Hi everyone!
