Default SV Site...

I know this is an SV site.... I KNOW this!!!

But being fellow bikers you must understand where I am coming from...

It was full of crap and after putting a few hundred miles on in the past week it just REALLY needed cleaning. So I did.

And then I fell in love with it again..





I lurve you

Stretchie

Good point mate, that'd make me slow down...

If I stay in that state for too long I may get rear ended by the SV's I'd passed very convincingly

Are you serious ?

The Blundercat is a great bike, especially for the money. More of a midleweight sports tourer by todays standards but they handle well and are pretty quick... And oh so comfy.

Daryl B has one. It's a beautiful bike. He has yet to get the hint that I would like to ride it...

I like the anodised levers on yours, Stretchie, they go well.

Well..

I never thought of one these when I was looking for what bike to buy I saw a picture of one and thought it was ugly, I actually wanted a CBR 600, black and silver, but my manager had this one going. I'd already bought my leathers and other kit which all ended up being blue because I had to buy a peice a month cos I was skint.

I turned up at my boss' house, took one look and thought, "Hmm, quite nice in flesh".

He let me take it for a 30min test drive, so when I came back 2 HOURS later I was well taken with it.

Funnily enough, I don't really like the levers that much but saying that I've not replaced them yet so they must be alright.

And they are lovely to ride, my mate has an R6 and at the lights I can tell you it is the first on the gas that gets it. END OF!! I don't care what magazines say, how often will "1.65 seconds a lap quicker over our private track" actually make a difference. I am not Rossi ... YET

Pretty quick?? Mine could keep up with a GSXR600 when i had one! So much more comfy too. In fact, i was after and when i came across my gixer. The cost and look of the gixer swayed me though.

Top bike had one for two years and did 30,000 on it

always found the fairing to be a bit brittle, and the headlight is a joke.

but as quick as i have ever been was on the cat and it was very reliable.
