i've spent £1.5K+ on my SV getting it the way i want it and the last challenge was the seat which i finally solved. the fazer with the underseat exhausts is the only 'modern' bike i have sat on that my feet can touch the ground and i was very tempted at one point in getting one.

i think that unless your a big lad/lass or ride two up a lot then there is no point in having anything more the the SV for the road. yes it costs a fortune getting the SV suspension and comfort done but i personally think its worth every penny as it turns a good bike into a superb bike.

is the SV worth spending more than its worth on upgrades depends on how long you are willing to keep it for.

i have had my SV for 7 years and done 36k. it has done everything i have asked or wanted and only broke down twice but i do keep on top of maintenance.
