Re: Wrong Choice. New '18 SV650.

Another victim of the twice yearly registration change in UK ( used to be once a year ) where dealers assume ( rightly 99% of the time ) that buyers want the latest possible date on their new vehicle...

The red frame not available when I bought my AL7 in 2016, but that would have been the one I would have chosen, could not even get red tank ( although it was shown in brochure ) colours limited to...
