Just went on my first ride!
 

So i have owned the bike for like 5 months or so but never had the licence, anyway passed the test 2 weeks ago and haven't had the money to get me on the bike. So sold my old bike and got insurance yesterday but still needs a front Tyre (long winded i know). So i was getting pretty edgy by now. So as today was a nice day i went for a cheeky little ride even though the bike was REALLY twitchy because of the front Tyre and i hadn't asked my dad if the bike was ready!

Anyway to the point, HOLY ****, Sv650's are AWESOME. Mines restricted to 33BHP but WOW!!! ( I have only ridden a 50cc before this but who cares )
I can honestly say that is the most fun i have had in 5 mins of riding ever!

Cant wait for the weekend so the bikes ready!

Congrat mate. It is awesome. You'll have plenty more exhilarating moments to come! :) The trick is to make sure it's not so exhilarating that you wrap yourself round a lamppost. :)

They are great a I remember my first blast(it was only a few months back) I give it some on a a road couldn't believe the difference from a 125 to the 650 being 33bhp as well.

Stay safe mate.

don't go too hard initially on a new front tyre! YOU MUST TAKE IT EASY ON NEW TYRES!

I know the mold release on the tyre is still there so for the first 50 odd miles i need to take it easy just to ease the tyre in. :D

Plus you need to get used to the difference in grip and handling.
