Default Re: SV1000 - New ride for 2015

First ride out today. Not great conditions on wet, muddy and windy roads.

But:

Its a fantastic ride, goes like a scalded cat in any of the first 4 gears (I didn't need the others yet!) and handles well for a "big" bike.

The brakes work instantly with a squeeze of one pinky which will take some getting used to from the handful I needed on the ageing CBR but I have some shortys coming which I'm more used to on the 650.

I need to adjust the pegs to be lower which should be doable with the GB rearsets so I'll get them on the lowest position and test again.

Looking forward to the spring even more! I love it!

Videos coming soon....
