Just joined, so saying a big hello to all. Soon to purchase my first SV650 and very much looking forward to it. Had a break from bikes for quite some time now, so looking forward to getting back to 2 wheels again.

Brief history of bikes I've owned.

RD 50M
NSR 125R
RD 35OLC (Gutted that I got rid of that)
FZ 600
GPX 750R
Firestorm

what was the firestorm like and how long ago was it?

If you got really comfortable with it I kinda get the feeling the sv might come across as a bit sedate for you? Still fun bikes all the same :)

welcome along & watch out for badger

Hello, welcome to the Org and join in the fun.

I would say watch out for some one, but in truth every one here is lovely. :D

Hello & welcome

[Dabber]

Wow,, thanks for the warm welcome. Feels like the Mx5nutz site,, very friendly, unlike another owners site that I won't mention ;-p

Ref the Firestorm,, it was on a 2000 plate, so an early model. It was a lovely bike, tank was a tad small though. Sounded lovely with a set of race pipes on her. I sold her 10 years ago now, so I don't think I'll notice much difference compared to the SV now as too much time as passed.

Yeah, few hairdressers and handbag lovers on here too...:rolleyes:

[Dabber]

I wondered when the first "hairdresser" comment would be posted,,,didn't expect it to be that quick lol.

For the record,,Autoexpress did a survey years ago to see what the official hairdresser car was.

VW Golf ;p

They shy away from soft tops,,,don't want to mess up their hair :D

Oh,,and I've just put a deposit down on a 2002 plate K2.

[Dabber]

Only 5200 on the clock, excellent condition,,think it might have seen one wet day during its life so far.

We're just down the road - west edge of Bognor. Are you getting the bike private or from a local dealer?

Just a stones throw away then,,well a big throw :)

Getting the bike from a small private dealer up in High Wycombe. Deposit was paid yesterday, so hope to pick it up next week.

[Dabber]

Picked her up at last. Not rode for 10 years so would have preferred a softer break back on 2 wheels. Had to pick the bike up from High Wycombe,,, 2 hour bike ride,,, now shattered.

Enjoyed every second of it though.

[DJFridge]

Still, a ride like that means you know if you've done the right thing!
