What does it for you? - SV650.org

Been out for a ride today with the GF on the back. Must say the bike gets a little unsettled whenever shes on the back. Might be the constant screaming and kidney punching when I start going too fast which puts me off

But I tend to be alright with my mate on the back. Hes into bikes himself and loves the speed. Quite light too which helps,not that im saying my girlfriends a heffer or anything

Was wondering if others enjoy riding with passenger and have gone any sort of distance? Also,do you prefer having a blast by yourself or riding with friends? Dont condone racing but is fun!

Well?

I tended to find on the SV I didn't have the power to spare for a pillion so remove the rear pegs and seat.

I'll take a rideout any way I can get it, It's more about the type of roads ( corners) and the speed you can attack them at.

If I'm in a group, I'll let those in front pull away so I can crack into the corners.

Cheers Mark.

I must say that i like all of it. alone, with pillon or with bike mates. as long as it gets me out there on the road, i'm in for it.
Done a bit of traveling with pillon and bagage too. The bike gets a lot heavier to handle. Still much more fun than driving a car

Cars, yeah heard of those, aren't they for picking up bits for the bike?

sv4me · 17-08-03, 09:48 PM

Could definitely use a little more power,but overtaking still isnt that difficult with my 8 1/2 st girlfriend in tow (

Did I say that,goin to get it now!)

Might have to sacrifice a little speed and the ride there might not be quite as good,but nice to have her there all the same when you get off......that is if she hasnt fallen off somewhere down the road :P

Wouldnt know about them car thingys,cant drive and dont intend to start learning anytime soon. Stick to bikes,you know it makes sense!

I'll ride with anyone. I'll ride on my own. I'll ride with a pillion. Not fussy.

not fussy to be honest, but i do prefer to go with a bunch of mates rather than go it alone

I just like taking a ride on Kylie anytime, I don't mind if i'm alone or with friends. If I go out with my mates they have to take pictures of me and Kylie maxed out and Near the limit.
