Bought SV1000S.
 

Hi boys and girls.
Ive been away on a Z750 then a Firestorm.
I purchased my SV1000S today and have it delivered tomorrow.
Its shiny silver, full fairing, full system TI force exhausts ETC.
I must say, this is the best forum ive been on by far.
The firestorm forums are rubbish - people just dont send things in or communicate with eacj other.
i only have one photo of the new machine at present - how do i upload it?
Cant wait till tomorrow!!!!

hi bud nice looking bike that is my bro's got one they sound ace and ride well hopefully you'll be able to ride past a few petrol station's now you've got rid of the storm ;) :thumbsup:

Re: Bought SV1000S.
 

Got my bike yesterday - it was delivered at 7.30pm.
Washed it, polished it and took it for its first ride this morning.
It is quite similar to the storm but i would say smoother.
The suspension is a little more refined on the SV, but that could be down to age - the storm was 2004 and the SV is 2006.
The full TI Force exhaust system sounds incredible.
I am going to have to change the small rear number plate for a legal one though.
When i had my SV650 with a small plate i was pulled up and fined. They tried their best to give me a ticket for the blue flame exhausts at the same time - luckily they did not see the "not for road use" stamp as it was on the inside!
cheers

Congrats on the move to the Big twin division! :D

Re: Bought SV1000S.
 

Good choice fella. Welcome :D

Welcome to the big boys club ;):cool:

Re: Bought SV1000S.
 

We are all very chummy around here - the annual ride-outs and the local meets encourage us all to get out and meet each toher and become real friends :smt020

Sooooo SV1000 eeeeeeeh? good call :D I would love one, but I do lots of miles and don't have alot of money, so whilst I can afford to buy one, how long can I afford to buy petrol for it :rolleyes: If I had one, it'd get the topbox treatment and an LSL handlebar conversion kit, taller screen, loud loud loud exhausts, crash bungs and a belly pan :smt041

Anyway, good luck with the SV - how does it compare with a firestorm and your other previous bikes? Stick around :smt052

*AHEM* :rolleyes:

Re: Bought SV1000S.
 

more pics with normal screen then please, c'mon, play fair!

Re: Bought SV1000S.
 

I will take some more at the weekend and put em on!

Bit of help if anyone can please-
i have removed the small show plate an put the "legal" one on (i have been pulled for this in the past and can do without the fine/hassle).
My problem is that the rear indicators are inset very flush into the Ermax undertray and the proper number plate obscures them to a degree.
As i have the hi level exhausts on i am not sure if i can put some mini indicators on so they are visible.
Anyone got any bright ideas?:confused:

Re: Bought SV1000S.
 

I have a similar undertray with similar problems. Come MOT time I install a legal plate with a number plate bracket which includes indicator mounts. However the whole thing is rather wobbly and I take it off as soon as I get home. Frankly the design of the undertray is rather poor.

Not much help, but if you do find a good solution, let me know :)

Re: Bought SV1000S.
 

Thanks for that Ophic.
I will keep a look out on what the best solution is.
I did fancy changing my rear lights to those with the built in indicators - it would appear they will not pass an MOT though.
Buy the way - i posted your screen this morning!

Re: Bought SV1000S.

Re: Bought SV1000S.
 

Great looking bike and good choice. I've put a standard size Skidmarx tinted screen on mine. It was 35 quid at the bike show last year. Perfect fit an no bother with it.
