- - Hey Guys! (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=129671)

Hey guys i am new to the forum, and as of tomorrow will own a 2007 SV650s. I have only been biking since last June/July.

Currently i own a Cbr 125r which is now for sale used it to learn on and pass my test. Loving biking so far, o yeh and 2 years ago i moved too the Isle of Man. wooooo! So might see some of you over here from year to year.

Anyway just thought i'd say hi, cheers Matt.

(Also i posted in here because it seemed sort of northwest based places and seen there's no Isle of Man listed i just picked here).

Nice work man where abouts in the IOM you living? I have family in ramsay which proves handy.
The SV completely ****s on a cbr125 :razz: enjoy!

Yeh pretty much, if it's near the sea front in the north, christ ramsey could be 1 of 3 different parts of the sea front, or if it's just outside ramsey into andreas etc... could be anywhere lol.

Hello :smt006 IOM is a lovely place to live :-) Welcome to the site and well done for passing your test!

lol it's about a 5 minute walk from a little village with shops and stuff so I'm guessing quite central ramsey. Might have to visit again this summer. How did you find the roads on your 125?

What colour SV you gone for? Any pics? :D

From reading your posts MYC I'm guessing you would love it, bikes everywhere, nice countryside, wildlife - if you get bored just wander off have a bbq, beers and get your tent out. Definitely a place I'd consider living when I'm a fair bit older.

Roads are awesome too, and arai have kidly signposted roadlayouts ahead and in season they put padding everywhere. Cagers and locals are really bike friendly and aware too.

My 125 suspension is terrible it's a 06' honda cbr, but christ on the Manx Roads getting off with a broken back. Rode my mates Yama YZF 125 and that thing was like luxury biking. But i don't care now because i passed last week and will be on the SV from tomorrow evening.

I do however love running through Glenn Helen and some other parts on the 125 because you can just launch it left and right through all the nice bends. However i just avoid the mountain lol climbing up there doing about 40-45mph the whole way till you get on the flats is abit tiring.

No pics of the SV till tomorrow, because it's a bank holiday i only had enough cash for a deposit, so tomorrow evening after work i'll be picking it up.

-Don't know the name of the colour but like a Pearl Blue
-Comes with Quill Exhaust attached (and original)
-In mint mint condition hardly been used
-Fully Faired aswell.
