Well I was goign to keep the Sv but I got offered a really good price for it so has been sold today. Pick up a 2004 Honda Hornet tomorrow. 2'000 miles one owner and was £100 less that I solf the SV for. Wil miss the SV but won't miss the aggro it gives my back and knees!

Maybe next year I can get a new SV1000 for the weekend.

Been there. Comfy bike but you'll be looking everywhere for the torque.

As long as I'm not looking for the painkillers :wink: I know it will be different but it will be better for commuting. Plus it was half teh cost of the the insurance for the SV with the same insurer. Weird. :shock:

Hornet is a cracking bike. I liked mine - a lot. Good riding position. I never found the performance wanting.

I tested it and while different from the Sv the grin factor was still there. I will sorely (ha!) miss my SV though. Brilliant fun and ever so chuckable and that noise! Ah well. We will meet again SV! 8)

Welcome to "The Hornet Massive" :D

Ace bikes and real good fun. It has the torque of the SV, it's just that it's higher up the rev range :wink:
