Glad you are enjoying the bike Gary, and good to hear some people on here still own and more importantly ride their SV's!

Mine makes me smile too, especially now it has new tyres, chain and brakes that work! I do wonder about other bikes - having never owned anything other than a YBR125 before my SV. However when it does die, hopefully from some non catastrophic reason. I think I might be getting another one.

Mainly because I'm always skint and this one has treated me well. Plus 11,000 miles a year and I can't justify a brand new bike, or an expensive one the mileage would devalue it far too quickly.
Not unless I could afford two bikes. And then one would be an SV anyway!

Obviously not a Curvy though - their ugly.
