Nice one Phil, looks good. Still hate you, but it looks good! ;)

[punyXpress]

Never mind that Tuba - looks more horny to me!
Enjoy.

[Specialone]

Thanks guys, looking forward to putting some miles on it over the weekend, albeit slow ones as gotta keep the revs down :(
As i got 7 days free insurance, i am still insured on the sv, so will have a blast on that as well i think.

Very nice looking bike mate, well done!

Done about 330 miles so far, its awesome, took it to elan valley yesterday, even though i had to keep the revs under 5k, its still quick.
Bloody heavy with a pillion though, you dont notice the weight while riding, but stationary and pushing it around you can feel the difference from the sv.

I find mine so much easier to ride with a pillion compared to my 650 and 1000.

It is also easy to ride all day long, where as on the 1000 my legs were killing me after about 150 miles.

This summer will be a good test for mine - I am doing GM3 (500 miles from home just to the campsite :smt103), AR10 and a trip to France in September

Once the wife gets used to leaning a bit through the corners and relaxing a bit it will probably get easier.
Got a few questions actually matt, im gonna start a thread later, need a few bits and bobs, see what other sprint owners have / recommend.
I could go onto a trumpet forum, but i like this one :smt060

I plan to do 3-4k this year on the sprint, maybe more, should be nicely run in by then :p

[darylB]

Beautiful looking bike you have there, i like a lot.

Daryl.

[Old Git]

V. nice looking bike, seems to be a colour theme on all your recent purchases me thinks.

[TheRamJam]

Remove all that clutter and you could fit another one in there easy lol :smt039

Im a builder, i have a 3mx2m metal shed out back that is rammed as well, i have to house all my kit, i dont wanna pay to upkeep 3 bikes anyhow, two is enough.

Fit Arrow cans & you'll hear the organ at the Albert Hall with all the stops out!

Don't think you can get arrows for the sprint - I took out a scrambler with an arrow full system - that sounded bloody nice.

Just get a set of Tridents like mine ;)

Have I told you the story about the nervous Frenchman and getting him to close his eyes?

I will when my budget allows, they are awesome.
Gotta curb spending for a bit, supposed to be saving for a touring trip to the states in october ;)

Dont think so...

[-Ralph-]

Dont think so...

OK, I'll tell you at the Waterman Wednesday if I make it back from London in time, too complicated for the forum. Turned him into a great pillion.

[Speedy Claire]

Very nice Phil.... wishing you many a happy mile

[robh539]

Hey mate very nice, looking forward to seeing it on Wednesday :)

[ThEGr33k]

They are a good looking bike. Congrats. What i dont understand is that they havnt (or dont appear to be) putting USD forks with Radial calipers on the new one... They have them on most of the rest of the range! It would just make the bike look a million times better!
