Should she stay or go??
 

Ok, this MIGHT be a little biased answer from you guys but you lot have always helped me out before.
Ive had my lil sv a few months, only been able to ride her since 25th Aug, took a mates zx6 for a quick blat the other day and really enjoyed it!
Im torn between keeping her for 2yrs until im in the "safe zone" with my licence (new riders-if we get 6 points within 2 yrs il lose me licence!) and then selling her OR sell her now and buy a zx6...main reason for selling her now is becasue in 2yrs time il have clocked up quite a few miles (shes on 28k now) and i think id get a better price for her now...help! :(

If you can afford getting and running a ZX-6R, get it. A SV can do 130mph easily so if you had no self control you'll be looking at a ban on it anyway.

Oh, and IIRC having a car licence before your pass means the 6pt/2yr probation period thingy doesn't count even if you add on a bike category.

I dont drive :( , i just SEEM to be calmer on the sv...

buy a faster bike by all means but make it a "V" twin. :twisted:

If you want it, can afford to run and insure it. Then buy it.

Oi. You won't get your hanger if she keeps it! Nor me that system!

:lol: :oops:

I say do what you want, the J1 certainly is a very nice, bike with lvoely smooth power (*cough* on full power*cough*) Mine certainly shifted when required too...(see video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24J86I-HYwU) When kept at legal speeds the MPG is really quite amazing - On the motorway top speed 65mph, I returned over 64mpg (well past 180 mile marker and it wasn't on reserve!)

Keep the SV and spend some money on the suspension and brakes then you'll feel differently about it!!!

There is no point having a bike always wishing you had something else. If you can afford it, then get the bike you really want.

Good answer.
I actually had a ZX6..(600 not 636) before the SV. Do not regret the SV as it does all I want from a bike. I also much prefer the characteristics of a V Twin to the IL4.
But hey, if you want a ZX6 that much, go for it.
