Comfy seat (of aorund 800mm)
Twin pipes

I guess one could say a Tuono fits this bill but I want something else.

Shiver? And budget a bit to make it work properly? Tuono's close apart from the weight. Monster? Again, weight. Streetfighter TRX?

Shiver?!?!?

Not even close on mos of my requirements. Tuono but too heavy and too tall. Maybe we need a new Firestorm.

I dunno- I think my dream SV would be a curvy with decent quality bits on it (ie paintwork, reliable reg/rec and springs)

Maybe a single sided swingarm (they do look GAWjuss!).

And maybe 800cc pushing 85-90bhp.

But basically a Curvy. Maybe with lowers too.

So basically a VFR800!

It's a naked, twin, decent quality suspension (though not supersports, it's not a kick in the teeth off and would upgrade easily enough), upright, bars, twin pipes... Yes it's heavier and it won't do your 160mph, but do you really fancy 160mph on a naked? The Tuono doesn't claim 160... The Firestorm's heavier, not much faster (the Shiver is quite low geared, with a sprocket change it'd be realistically about as fast) not a naked and the suspension is worse...

Oh, agreed - just getting in there before someone says "Why don't Suzuki make this?!"

Me is liking the guzzies, ive said before id like an sv750/800 with some decent suspenders nice and light pushing 90bhp with plenty of torque. Im sure it wouldnt be hard for suzuki to do this the chassis would take the extra umph i would imagine. ?5000 sounds like a good price for it.

Bear in mind the sport goes for £4699 I believe and you're talking closer to £6k I would think- still a redesigned curvy with a higher tail, better front and rear suspension and pushing out 90hp would be great!

There was my old Photoshop. I loved it, but someone pointed out the chain was on the wrong side that weed on my chips

A single sided swingarm would be cool on that design mrC.

I liked most of them as concepts , but a BELT driven SV .......... NO NO NO NO . DO NOT WANT !!!!!
