new fresh and naive SV owner saying hi
hello all,
just thought I'd do the polite thing and introduce myself first before I go around annoying you with my questions and comments... If you want some personal details, check my profile, all I want you to know is there :p:clown: As for my bikes, I am currently at #4. My fist bike was a XJ600S Diversion back in 2004 and after I got down the basics of riding I upgraded to an XJ900S and left the 600 to my girlfriend. Unfortunately the big Diversion had a close encounter with some young punk in a VW/Vauxhall Golf GTI that didn't bother to look when he made a u-turn coming out of his parking spot. :smt013 So I (or rather his insurance) replaced it with a TDM900 in November 2005. It now has 50.000km and it will still remain my main bike as it has everythinbg I want: comfort, great fuel economy, enough grunt throughout the rev range, light steering, ... But lately I have been doing some more track days and it started bothering me that if anything happened to the TDM on the track I would be without transportation (I don't own a car). So I started looking for a nice track bike. With my expectations (light, twin, cheap, ...) the choice was quickly made and I bought myself a 2001 SV650S. It is bright yellow and in excellent condition :thumbsup: It just needs a new chain and sprockets and probably in time, when budget allows, a suspension upgrade (tips are welcome, although I noticed there are already a number of topics on the subject). I'm not sure yet whether I will be putting it to road use, but I will definitely be using it at the next track day in Croix-en-Ternois. \\:D/:riding: So there you have it. See you guys around. |
