forum virgin with new bike
I have just brought an 04 naked SV 650 and two days later went on a sponsored ride from Lands End to John O'Groats and back to Lands End with twenty nine other bikes. Mad or what! There were three SV's on the trip and all the group made it there and back safely, but what a piece of kit these bikes are I have never had so much fun on a bike before, they are just awesome and we raised money for the Cornwall Air Ambulance as well. can't be bad but the bike now needs a new tire and a service, there is always a down side.
