New SV rider
Hi Im Hamish or Hey Mish , old bloke ( 59 ) , just swopped my 1997 P reg 1200 bandit for a SV650 nekked . V5 says first reg 2003 but its an tube frame type.
Picked it up in Humberside last weekend and rode it back on Sunday - 200 miles 210 minutes with 2 fuel stops , I refilled at 100 miles as I didn't know the tank range but I now know its more than 100 miles . Very nice wee bike , I suspect I may look a bit silly on it , Im 6ft 2in 20 stone . Been riding for 41 years, but had a stroke in July so need something lighter than el bandido , wave if you see a blue nekked on NI plates . Happy to come on ride outs , but i aint as fast as I used to be |

Re: New SV rider
How do.
I'm the same height as you, but a little lighter, and fit on ok. Maybe see you if we organise a Southwold chip ride before Christmas? |

59 ain't old any more mate. More like wiser children I'd say.
