the Sv was recommended by a now departed friend of mine and in 2008 i got a nice shiny brand new one but before hand i scoured the internet to look at what mods i could do and after much searching i had a GSXR front end and rear shock all ready to go on along with some gillies high rise vario bars.
The above bike got stolen in 2009 just before my bypass.
Along comes November 2010 and i got a second hand 2007 with 1024 miles on the clock to which i put a GSXR front end on and a custom made Nitron shock on it. that got crashed when i hit a deer at 60mph on the Moffat road. the pic in my avatar is what it looked like before i hit the deer.
how my bike looks now...
I love my SV its like an old friend its taken me all over Scotland and parts of England and only once let me down when a rivet button came out one of my discs.
would i like something else.. maybe a gsxr 750 with a comfort kit
