Hi,

Having previously owned a great 1994 Honda Africa twin which i loved so much, i had to replace it. So i went looking around and found the 2001 model colour brand new SV650. Loved it from the start and haven't regretted it. Anyway my question is, i have the bike in a garage and I've been told to wait for the bike to warm up and when it reaches about 1200 RPM then to go. So if i go when its 1600 or 1700RPM, will it do any harm? Summer or winter? With the Africa, i started the engine and i was off

Thanks
