Default New Bike

Well i owned the SV650 for a year and thought it was time i upgraded to a sportier bike.
I decided on a older styled bike, i like the older models(Not just bikes either) so i went for a 2000 R6 with 17k Miles and FSH!!
This thing is just crazy mental and am loving the IL4 over the V-
Twin.
Crazy but i actually miss the SV a little!?!?

Hey,
Well had it for 5 days now and its awesome.
Its my only form of transport as i gave up cars after doing my test and its so easy to live with, did 300 miles on it today, felt comfy and good on fuel too!
Only thing i need to get used to it the power above 10K Rpm's, tries to lift the front wheel in 3rd and in 4th steering go so light you cant turn lol
The SV is a awesome bike and i will miss it, learned a lot on Suzy, knee downs, wheelies, 16K Miles in a year and never missed a beat!
