Papa's Got a Brand New Bike! - SV650S. - SV650.org

Thanks to all those who gave me advice on buying a bike. I decided to take the plunge and ended up with a SV650s 2001 for £1500. Just rode it home which was a nice 40 odd mile ride. Felt very strange at first as I am used to riding a 50cc scooter around but after about 10 minutes it was awesome!

There she is. Just need to come up with a name for her. The first one to pop into my head was Suzie (Suzie the Suzuki) but I'm thinking I could come up with better. What's everyone named their bikes?

The bike just got MOT'd today and passed with no qualms but I'm thinking maybe I should get it serviced as it hasn't been done in almost 2 years I think (although it's only done about 1500 miles in that time). Is there much that's likely to be needed or should I just start the learning process and try changing the oil/break fluid myself? It seems to run fine in my newbie opinion!

That looks very tidy. Well done.

When I had one bike I used to call it "the bike". Now I've got two I call them "the black one" and "the yellow one". I'm fairly unromantic when it comes to that kind of thing.

Well done, now get an aftermarket can and some crash bungs on
