My new SV 650 S

Bling :D

New rider?

Take it easy, don't push to hard, let things naturally come and let the bike grow on you.

I still really rate my old SV for sheer fun factor without warp speed.

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Nice colour & best shape sv(pointy).........don't listen to all those (curvy) owners,they don't know what their on about:)

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

candy blue and black, best two colours you can have :)

looks smart! pointies forever!

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Awesome:D

If you need more gear, then HG have a sale on, I got a pair of gortex pants for £138, they are tricky 3 pants I think which is a sick price they are lush to wear. I also rate my Alpinestar SP2 gloves, not cheap but again so worth it when riding.

Don't listen to him, its all lies ;)

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

He he thanks all, off to collect now!

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Few more photos and a video link to a youtube clip of it.

Loving it so far, collected it in torrential rain with a brand new back tyre having not ridden for 2 years and since my test, did Pirbright Bends which is the route home and was just wobbling about at 25mph ****ting myself.

Then later it brightened up and I really got to grips with it, hooting around all over the place. I also notice that every other biker is now your best mate, what is it with the bikers nod? lol

One thing though, no centre stand which is weird, only a side stand?

Looks good :) Enjoy it

Proper bikers wave or nod ;)

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Looks great. Can looks good, thinking of one of those myself. Have fun. :cool:

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

looks nice... how much did that set you back?

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

It was up at 3299 - I managed to take it for 3150 on finance with a new back tyre from a dealer with 3 months warranty. I think I have done ok but this is my first bike so not sure really.

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Don't listen to what anyone else says, if you are happy with the bike, that's all that matters. :D

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

take it easy dizee on the new rear till its scrubbed in well.
it seems like a fair price from a dealer too, you always pay a little more but you do have the security that if somethings not right you can return it. your also less likely to end up with a stolen one wearing someone elses plate.

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

all proper bikers nod in france they put there leg out and stuf lol

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

nice looking ride :) enjoy :)

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

That's because it's a straight out Racing Sports bike ;)

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Well, the bike has changed environment and is doing very well at the moment, very impressed with it. I have also bought a new cover which covers it beautifully. I do have some concerns over how safe it is as we live in the middle of nowhere - but, tis the best I can do...

With the cover being black aswell, it does tend to blend in quite nicely...

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

The cover is the wrong colour

You should have got it in Mossy Oak :p

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Post corrected for you, no need to thank me.


Nice looking bike, btw - I like the colour, for a non-black one of course ;).

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

I'm unsure if I like the SV650 with no lower fairings? Hmmm...

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

I would love fully faired but not sure the cheapest way of achieving it. I am crap at fitting them myself and most accessories seem dear.

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

I'm sure someone will correct me but I think you just need to purchase the bottom fairings and buy the fittings as the holes are already there I believe.

Have a mooch on eBay for some.

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Yes, thats right, i bought mine recently off fleabay for £210 brand new, took about 2 hours to fit ;)

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Which is a good price.

I cannot find any 2nd hand ones for my Curvy on Evilbay. OEM ones are available, but something like £400 :(

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Mine were OEM, i was just about to order some from the dealer when i come across these, he had more than i set as well.

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Curvy ones? Send me the item number of your ones!

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Sorry matey, mines a pointy (the best lol)

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Thought so, plenty of pointy ones out there

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Dizzee is your bike parked overnight in the layby?

maybe you should look at getting some security to lock it to one of the fence posts - just an idea

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

It is yes. Problem is those fences are next to horrendous ground, bumpy and overgrown by weeds.

I am not sure it is "that bad" there, I know it is not ideal but I see lots of bikes on display in the street, at least mine is down a dark country road and not very visible... (actually that could make it worse)

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Can't you secure it to your car or to that fence that is in the photograph?

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Not really - that car is one of many in that communal parking layby. No guarantee where any space will or wont be when riding.

The fence is railway property and also the area by the fence is very scruffy, undulating and overgrown etc. Even then it is a very flimsy fence - a "pathetic" border that is bendy and poorly made.

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

LOL I know that layby.

Been down there a few times.

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Looks nice ..... clear indicator lens for the front £7 each ;-)

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Could you put a chain round the telegraph pole/Bus stop overnight to secure it ?

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

No, cant improve the current situation. I have had loas of grief about where I leave it from my neighbours, even though it is communal parking. Its very unwelcome amongst the residents and could not block the pavements etc

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

pff, if its communal then they cant whinge too much. If they absolutely positively have to have a whine about something then make sure the can on that bike is nice and loud so they have got something to whine about.

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Looks very good condition! Although regarding the price i paid £1950 for an almost identical bike from a private seller. Main dealers are rip off merchants if you ask me!

Re: My new SV 650 S
 

Oh and if you wanna replace those nasty head and sidelight bulbs, go here... www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk for some upgrade headlight bulbs (or hid kit if u can stretch that far) and led sidelights.
