Welcome to the club. You will also find a forum for people North of the border and maybe even from Aberdeen.......

SV is a cracking first bike so buy one!

Cheers for the advise, am looking at fully fairing the bike due to the lovely weather we get up this neck of the woods, is it better to get it done through the dealer when buying the bikke or do it aftermarket?

cumfy, welcome mate, yep your right ref the fully faired bike up that neck o' the woods

keep an eye on eBay, get some bargains there, Cupar Bikes sell on there noo nd again

bought me own lowers via CB but fitted them myself although they only wanted 50 quid to fit them

anyway, welcome tae the madhoose and safe riding when you get the bike

Hi.The first advice is fit some crash bungs before you need them.

Hello pal...

Don't forget to visit the 'Scottish Section': http://forums.sv650.org/viewforum.php?f=30

They'll have rideouts etc coming soon

Get some decent crash bungs (NOT Suzuki ones, they're crap

) fitted just in case, Lowers do finish the bikes off well, but I'm not sure they give you that much protection from the elements

welcome chris. sv would be an excellent first bike.

its a practical bike offering tuning, cosmetic potential without breaking the bank.

Hi there cumfy, welcome aboard. Another Highlander for the clan.

I'd back up madmal's comments 100%. The SV is not too intimidating for newbies but you'll not get bored of it either. As you'll hear a lot....it's a fun bike.

Unless you're planning on doing lots of rural runs you can get by without the full fairing no probs. It's not a bike that is plagued by electrical problems in the rain so as long as you keep the looks in check, maybe get one without lowers first and add them later if you feel it's required. Just my tuppence worth.
