Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).![]() |

Firstly sorry if this is in the wrong place, the appears to not be an "introduce yourself" section on the forum.
Firstly hi all.. My nickname is Foz, I used to be a keen mountain biker but due to injures and time I don't get to do it as much as I can to justify the cost of the bikes I owned (about £5.5k's worth) so I sold them all and decided to put the money to buying a motorbike and learning. So here I am with 8 days until my DAS tests and my chosen steed arrived this week. I've cleaned it up a lot and added a fender extender and a V-system Scottoiler (I plan on using the bike to get to work 12 miles away) I've stalked the forum while making my choice of bike as I like marks that have an active forum (I also own a Golf Mk4 which has an amazing forum / community) after passing my DAS. I liked the looks and the SV was recommended as one of the best Post DAS bikes to start on. So here we are photos. couple of questions while you look. I have an alarm / immobiliser but no certificate. When insuring i have advised of the brand and model but has anyone ever been asked to produce a certificate of installation or anything similar? The screen is that a none std item? ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm Based in Kiddy (p.s. I know I committed the worst sin possible and got a bike pre exam! ![]() Thanks |

Welcome.
Not such a sin - but it's far to clean! You need to pass that DAS and get some muck on it ![]() (and yes, looks standard except for the screen, the hugger, fender extender and removed grab rail). Last edited by MisterTommyH; 22-01-12 at 02:45 PM. |

Welcome, nice and clean, looks as though you have "Helibars" fitted more upright riding position (might need insurance declaration).
Enjoy. JOHN |

It's clean as i spent all day today cleaning it
![]() Wops, sorry i fitted a rear hugger to when i was fitting the oiler. I would like a cowl now, I may have to see what the OEM price is as red ones seam rare ![]() I'm itching to get my DAS pass, all the gear - no idea and no licence ![]() Icanopit - I've not noticed the bars being any different from other SV650's I've sat on. I'll look for a std setup in a photo and compare. Thanks for all the nice welcomes. |

Welcome to the forum sir. Nice looking bike mate. I too started on an SV after completing my DAS course back in 2009. You will have an uber fun on it.
Nice exhaust, tail tidy and a rear seat cowl should be on your wishlist ![]() Enjoy and good luck with the test etc
