Why buy a larger bike

A bike like the RGV250
That is THE bike.
Big bikes and big wallets do go hand in hand. Unless you buy an old ThunderAce which can be picked up for very little. A big fast bike for SV money.

I never minded a guy with a flash bike as long as he was nice about it. I remember a few years ago. Bloke turns up to J+S Northwich with a top Ducati 996 and dainese leathers and with a sneer and a I'm better than you look. Then an even flashier Duke turns up with bloke in jeans and crappy leather jacket. Bloke just leaves and goes into shop. Dainese boy no longer has the flash bike and decides to leave.

Me and GPz500 laugh and wave him goodbye.

I actually typed "shed", I've no idea why it got censored, gave completely the wrong impression

You've never kept chickens, obviously!

I told my mrs it was safer Which technically is true, better brakes, better handling, quicker overtakes - it makes me a safer rider all round... Buy the best you can afford - same as the lid advice.

If I did, they would be big powerful ones.
Sorry if I have let my personal feelings cloud my recent posts, Its just that I
hate the apparent trend for 'buying bigger and better than you and thats all that matters' -Bloody hell, I sound like a Communist!
Some comments of an Orger just seem to personify that mentality, imo.
I apologise for any ill feeling caused.
I appreciate people have choices.

Cos some people make the SV or SS600's look ridiculously small.

2 up touring I'd want a bigger bike then an SV. You can pick up a nice 98-2000 blade for the same as a good newer Sv so money wasn't a motivation. Thing is I don't want to go two up touring just get in and out of work/ london easily, & longer trips out & about without having to scream it everywhere -so the SV's just about ideal for me.

(Could maybe use that extra 10bhp though )

i smashed the sv650 and got the sv1000 its a great bike but to be honest 120mph + speeds dont feel comfortable after the smash i'll prob sell the 1000 and get another 650, i cant see the point in the extra power.

Could always put a 700 big bore conversion in the SV to compensate for that small chicken in the garden.
Could the small chicken be a Bantam?
Can you catch someone elses mental problem from this thread?

Mr.HRC has made me ride smaller bike! But it still very,very fast and I still earning same money?
