If your running your SV restricted why not wait to see what you think of it once you have it up to full power? Before moving to another bike

Oh this thread will get moved from IB because its bike talk...

Mines an F3.
But it needs the RPM to get it shifting (like most sports IL4 's).
So if your restricting it its not such a good plan.
It will go round the corners faster .But remember you can use the V grunt out the corner..

They're great bikes, I know that for a fact 'cos I've got one exactly the same which I've owned from new. It now has 120,000 miles on it and it's still excellent, it's been extremely reliable, will do 200 miles to a tank without trying too hard and other than the obvious consumables, the list of bits that have been replaced is very small.

Buy carefully obviously as they're all a good few years old, but there's lots about and I still see plenty enough in perfectly good condition, that it shouldn't be a difficult task to find one worth spending your money on.

Always had a soft spot for them and I understand they are pretty much as close to bullet proof as you can get (providing they've been looked after)

Grunty had a G2, it looked great. She went from a CBR400 to it and loved it, but as someone said earlier I would get your SV unrestricted first and ride it for a while before jumping ship.

SV's are very capable bikes, and as 'budget' as they may be there are plenty of people on here on SV650's that give litre sports bikes a run for their money in the twisites, it's the nut that connects the seat to the bars that's the important bit.

This was GruntyGiggle's

Iv riden my sv unrestricted on private land it's brilliant :) I'm not a speed junkie though it
Is nice I normally ride around the 70mark n do the twistys like a pro lol joke, n I still average 55mpg average n lost the number of times iv taken pillions now.

I just really like the zx6rs... And didn't know they had different g's ;) what are they?

I would hopefully be freeing up some money from my sv even if its only afew £100
And iv ridden a screaming two stroke before the sv so I know ild have to use my brakes abit more haha the sv has lovely torque I agree.

Restricting it wouldn't bother me two much I wouldn't of thought havnt got long left on my restriction anyway n looking onto getting my car license end of year maybe
