Default Had a go on a 33bhp curvy

And it was HORRIBLE.
Took Wideboys Curvy out for a spin yesterday and it was absolutly horrid.
Not the bike of course ,but the power that it put out.How do you lot put up with it for 2 yrs.
I kept waiting ...and waiting ...and waiting for the power to kick in but it just didnt .
And to make it worse he kept coming past on mine and waving.
I cant ride on one for a long distance (dodgy arm) but it felt sooo good to have a blast(bimble) on the old jelly mould

When its all you've known, its alot.

But yea, I wouldnt go back now. I'm starting to think that my SV isnt quite enough now as full power...I'd like a nice tourqey 1000cc twin

I remember telling you that's how you'd feel. Hungry for more.

I have to say though, I "rode" a naked SV today (well, moved it into the back garden & then back out later), full power version as far as I know, and that was a horrid feeling. There's just nothing in front of you, and the front end feels so light!!

You soon get used to any power bike you have.......when I first got the 600rr I thought there was no way I could ever use it all and feel comfortable, or that I would ever feel the need for a little bit more......quite fancy a HRC blade now though

The Sv650 is my first bike really, and had it for a week before getting it nuted to a kinder egg standard, and at first I was going down the dual carriage way screaming behind my helmet, then when restricted was like... hmmm
The change is dramatic with being restricted! Even to us new riders
