My GOD, at least put some warning for us curvy owners you're putting up pictures of a fugly pointy......;)
I see tail tidy, hugger, exhaust, fender extender, wavy discs, touring screen and sticky rubber. Nice one you've got yourself a good'un there! When you polishing the forks then? :D
sv4me, jealousy is a cruel beast :p it also has a PC 3 and a K and N too, makes a beautiful sound if i do say so myself. i am considering living in a tunnel from now on!
The forks and other cosmetic issues are my winter project. Strip off all the parts that need doing, sand blast them down and repaint them ready for the Spring time
Suzuki got it just right from the get go with the curvy, they tried to better it with the pointy but you can't improve on perfection. I've come to terms with it and I think all the spare box section framed pointy owners should do too :tongue: lol
Oh yes, keeping it in a low gear and howling through tunnels making a nuisance of yourself. I like getting in on that action :mrgreen:

Yer that is well fugley ;)
Welcome aboard
I think they are both good looking bikes, they pointy has grown on me over the past few years and i think it looks fantastic. Curvy looks a bit dated now, unless you modified a few parts to make it look more updated.
I did own a curvy naked and a curvy S, the naked got written off and the S got sold. I loved my S a lot, it was a beast of a bike and loved it to bits.

Ignore the curvey brigade they just live in the past where the summers were always hot and beer was was £2/pint everywhere. They also have black and white TV's and retro pyjamas, just for the sake of it.
I like the high line of the exhaust.

Nice ride mate :)
Some Curvy owners are not the brightest tbh, angles are the future, nobody builds anything with curves these days, it's old fashioned.
Such a nice bike mate, must be chuffed. I'll be happy if I end up with one even half a sweet as that :)

I had a pointy and loved it to bits... but as it say's on the tin
some are pointy, some are curvy, but underneath... all are naked.

Thanks for all your comments guys! She is a beauty of a bike, even if i do say so myself. I have added another addition to her and will upload some updated pictures of it shortly
Right pictures of the new 'mod'. it won't be to everyones taste i guess. i like it and think that its far better than the Suzuki version

So it is a Givi Monolock E470 top box, mounted on the Givi M5M plate with the Givi 529FZ Monorack arms. I installed the E94 lighting kit so it has an LED brake light in the box as well. I'm very happy with it! It's a far better box and solution comapred to the OEM version, even considering the price. Will make planning my trips a whole lot easier now
