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!!!!

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

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
