Greetings All!!
 

Hi everyone!

I've just joined the site having recently become the owner of a used, street-fighter styled SV650 K8.
Here's a few pics:

I haven't yet passed my test, took M1 twice earlier this year and failed. But I know it will be third time lucky, so I have bought this to motivate me further!! Plan to get my DAS booked in sometime in late August/early September when the weather had cooled down a bit.

Look forward to getting acquainted with you! :thumbsup:

Greetings All!!
 

Hi & welcome. Good luck with the test.

Re: Greetings All!!
 

That looks the mutts! Make sure you source yourself a "sympathetic" MOT tester when it's due, looking at that can!

Welcome aboard anyway dude. :)

Whyteleafe in Surrey (near J6 of the M25), have just updated my profile.

Cheers man, determined to make it third time lucky!!

Glad you like it!! The exhaust was somewhat loud to say the least, but I was lucky enough to have gotten the exhaust baffle with the bike as well and I've since refitted that. Still f*ckin loud though!!!

At least with the Scorpion can people will be able to hear me coming!!! ;)

Re: Greetings All!!
 

welcome and good luck on your third try.

that is what we call a 'naked' bike not a street fighter. lovely bike none the less.

Tidy, gl with the test.

Cheers all! I had set my sights on an SV650S, but i'd also had my eye on this one and the price got reduced to £2500 so I called the guy up and went for a viewing. Only 12.5k on the clocks, pretty much all the service history it's had and only 2 previous owners. I fell for it pretty much the moment he started it up, that can...... :D

From what i've seen of prices that these go for, I think I got a good deal?

Have now bought a heavy-duty armoured cable lock and an Oxford Boss Alarmed Disc Lock to keep it safe. Want to get a hugger for it and also a new set of mirrors, as nice as these ones look style-wise despite playing around with them loads all I can see are my elbows!!!

Anyone have any suggestions as to which ones to go for?

I think you can get a set of mirror extenders instead of replacing the whole mirror? Not that they are cheap mind
