Default Re: SV1000 vs. SV650 Weight/Balance Opinions?

Thanks for replies folks. I have gone and been a bit naughty by letting my heart rule my head and bought the beast.

It is a 2008 SV1000 Classic (so Black) with 8800 miles and quite a few extras. I had backed off as it turned out not to have had the 3rd due service (previous 2 done late, at 1200 and 5000 miles) but the seller offered to go a bit further and after pricing in a total top-to-bottom service and MOT with my local (friendly and trustworthy!) dealer I have bitten the bullet.

I actually feel bad as the poor lad selling it has fallen on hard times. It has sat SORN'ed in his garage for 6 months plugged to an Optimate but I think with the above work done and a good clean-up (I am anally fussy!) I will have a lovely bike and one to keep for a long, long time.

I'll post some pics once I get it back from the dealers (they are collecting it for me) and 'on the road', then it'll be a case of venture out and treat it with a LOT of respect.
