Bad luck, sorry to hear this, but it's your own decision. However, you know you won't find a better bike than an SV650 that's in the same performance/price bracket.

Winter's coming, so you might want to hold off till spring and forgo the cold weather. So wish you the best of luck working things out ;).

Hows about looking for some kind of winter hack that'll be good for 6 months - then look for something 'nicer' in the spring?

Couple of downsides being that this is really the better time of year to pick up a bargin, espescially if looking at the nicer end of the selection - conversely more people are looking for winter hacks about now so finding a good 'un may be easier said than done.

Then you've got the whole maintenance issue with a hack - it's a fine line between ugly but reliable to potential 6 month money-pit. :?

Either way - fingers crossed that you've put your 'bad luck account' waaaay into credit and things'll smooth out for you soon. [-o<

How was Cuba by the way?
My manager went there on his honeymoon and said it certainly was a bit of an eye opening experience. Um, I'm fairly sure he was talking about Cuba itself! :wink:
