Picked it up monday, only had chance to take some decent pics today cos of the crap weather. K4 on an 06 plate, £5.2k's worth, R+Gs, lowers, Tank cover and twin outlet stainless CCC cans in the garage, having to wait til run in is over before fitment or warranty is void though :( Least mine's louder for a bit eh.

Horrid IMO. Since he's not on this forum (I'm guessing) I can feel ok about saying that. Just nothing that appeals to me about them. They shout out "budget bike" to me and look absolutely nothing special. Eurgh.

Naked 1000's are nice though (once you take off that horrid grab rail).

I think its the whole seat unit area that puts me off them.

I like the dark blue a lot. As for the cans. I know of a lot of bikes that come out of the shop with race cans on from new. How on earth is it going to affect the running in? They are bolt on/off, so 10 mins to change.

I think this is a little rich coming from someone that has the rear of a VTR as the Avai? But each to their own and maybe before giving it large about the bike you can take one for a ride to see that they are a lot better than the budget ripoff of an SP1/2 that you have as an Avai :D

Nah, in my car, went to pick the missus up from somewhere and he has to put the miles on his bike, so I took the cam :) Peugeot fly-by photography at its best :)

I know this is SV650.org but you lot are still too "sv is the best"...accept that others just don't like them (well the 1000's). And I didn't say the firestorm wasn't budget either. It is. It just doesn't have a smaller brother that it looks like. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. :)

Got to ride it tonight, muchos quick, have to keep it under 5.5k for the first 4 gears, then I was allowed 8k, which gave me 128 mph, on the track, officer ;)

Got there very very fast and it makes me jealous, got the same feeling when I got back on my 650 that I got after I got off my mates R6, "There must be something wrong because I don't remember it being this slow"
