Fast bikes long termer
 
Just recieved my latest editon of Fast Bikes Magazine & they have an SV650 as a long term test bike. This could well be worth following for owners of Pointies as they will be throwing all sorts performance stuff on it over the next 12 months no doubt

Unless they treat it like the GSx650F which only had different tyres, brake pads and lines put on it, nothing else.

SV isn't sexy enough for Fast Bikes, it'll be a hack bike I guess

No, it's the May issue. Comes with a free cargo net as well :)

You may be surprised. When they do a cheapo mid range bike test & the SV is involved they say what a fun bike it is, so here's hoping :)

Well, hopefully they want to do a test with other SV's and cold ask the org for help

it will definately be interesting to see what they do to the bike over 12 months and their overall opinion of the bike. so far they seem impressed although not many miles have been covered yet.

Got the May issue with the free cargo net Yesterday. Hadn't read it yet but will have a look tonight now you mentioned this. Excellent!
