Yeah, was way too easy a trade, the rocket held it's value really well, now they no longer make them I am guessing the value is holding, cost me less than £500/year to own over 5 yrs....not gonna be the case here I don't think but got a good deal, in today's prices anyway
The triumph dealership was offering me more than £2K less on trade-in for a S/H Z1000SX....they're not going to see me again for anything unless I have to go there, robbing barstewards

Yeah, after all the SV650 sport has mirrors mounted on the fairing, but then it also has clip-ons...this thing really is a naked (GSX-S1000 - non F) with a front fairing slapped on.
I can live with the mirrors, but they could have done better with the front and center look, raised it up a bit maybe...would have been a great homage to the SV...pointy faired SV's still looks great IMHO
Still, once sitting on the bike and riding it non of that matters, then you just love the thing, great machine, really is. So smooth and much more relaxed than a RRR super sports thing in everyday riding / if not pushed but get it to 8K onwards and it starts to really liven up.
As a side note to all those riding faired SV's that might want a new bike, I think we'll see the GSX-S750F soon enough, should be a great replacement (albiet an IL4)
