The above bike got stolen in 2009 just before my bypass.

Along comes November 2010 and i got a second hand 2007 with 1024 miles on the clock to which i put a GSXR front end on and a custom made Nitron shock on it. that got crashed when i hit a deer at 60mph on the Moffat road. the pic in my avatar is what it looked like before i hit the deer.

how my bike looks now...

I love my SV its like an old friend its taken me all over Scotland and parts of England and only once let me down when a rivet button came out one of my discs.

would i like something else.. maybe a gsxr 750 with a comfort kit
I'm sorry you had that grey one nicked. I'm not usually a fan of faired Motorcycles but that Grey one is beautiful IMHO but they are both great
