ON THE ROAD AGAIN! my new bike - SV650.org

13-10-10, 11:36 PM

It's now five months since I broke my back, I'm still waiting for the insurance but I've managed to save £2500 for a bike.
I thought how do i follow my SV, and came up with a 600 inline four of course! :s

Triumph speed four.

After the SV the S4 feels like a crazy giant wasp! it reminds me of my RD350LC it screams and then the power kicks in and it pulls like stink to 14000.
Low revs it acts like a CB250 and when you're coming from an SV you get used to low revs.

I love it already the gearbox is so smooth and the suspension and brakes make it feel totally under control.
I miss the torque of the SV but soon forget when howling round the moors if i dare say it it's way more fun than my SV but I'm not sure if it's as practicle yet only time will tell!

Sorry pics don't seem to drag n drop

Cheers for that treat Grunty it's beenyears since i've seen 'Canned heat'.
Cheers Andy and no we haven't had the do cos someone broke into the studio and nicked the PA system.
I would love to hire a speed four for the track but I know i'd end up binning it and I've got to make this bike last.
