Default Re: The SV

My 99 Naked SV in it's 21st year is my only Automotive transport. Apart from my days out riding enjoyment and sometimes shopping trips. It's recently been my commuter bike. I've done around 500 miles for short term work 60 mile round-trip shift-work.
It plants itself solid on the on the Motorway and bends and purrs @ 70 mph/5,000 rpm ish but keeps creeping up to 80/85 mph as it likes those revs it seems so I have to keep an eye on the Speedo<grin>

The gearbox is so slick it's almost like having an automatic gearbox.

Even with stock suspension and cheap tyres and cheap R/R upgrade I have no complaints. Best bike I've ever owned and the Smiles-For-Miles factor is excellent
