all the boards i frequent are mosly uk based or have a large UK memebrship .. except the kawasaki triples boards. i own 6 bikes, only one is a 4-stroke and newer than 30 yrs old.. and its my 99 SV650.
me, personally, i DO NOT like the second generation ones, they lost some of the personality and feel slower. i have ridden an O4 S model a lot, with a can, one tooth smaller sprocket in front, etc... I still like mine much better.
Regardless, the SV of either the round or box frame is a great bike, the SV1000 is a bit much to chew off for a first sport bike.
I'll never sell my 99. Ever. its the best money i have ever spent on a bike ever.. and that INCLUDES the all original barn-fresh 75 h2 i got a few mos ago for 400 bucks. if you know what that is that will add an ! to this point.
No comment on politics.
