I've just done something a bit silly, another bike bought. - SV650.org

My name's Monkey. I'm a weekend warrior and had three bikes. For a very short while recently I had two bikes as I've sold one to another organ. Unfortunately I have a terrible case of moneyburningaholeinmypocketdisorder. I also have shinybikesyndrome. I use a saying sometimes: "too much money, not enough sense". There are people who may have too much money and too much sense. I however have too little money and too little sense.

When someone has all of these problems it will ultimately lead to one thing. In my case it was this:

...

...

...

...

...

It's a bloody lovely bike. It needs the fork oil changing desperately and possibly a few very minor bits doing but otherwise I think it's a gooden. I'm very surprised at just how soft and manageable this is and also how solid and sharp everything still feels. I may not get out of it what some get from a big bike (because I ride like a wet flannel) but I think I'm going to have lots of fun.

Did I do good?

Both sides but tbh I'm not too fussed over a few war wounds. It's 11 years old and I got it for reasonable money which reflects that. I'm sure I'd get my money back easily enough too.

Too right Mark. It is easy. The speed is VERY deceiving too.

How far does it go on reserve?

You've done two silly things. Firstly you've bought an IL4 and secondly you've bought a H*nda. Now take it back and get something with one or two less cylinders.

I like it and if the price was right - why not?

I'm really tempted with a Blackbird I've seen atm.
