It's getting there. Though the recent weather and 'saving' of the tyres for the AR have slowed the rate of mileage accumulation down.

I think she's probably on about 7600m now and I picked her up with 4012m so 3.5k in a little over 3 months. I'll go statto later and post a summary

Default Statto Time:

A brief history of 2mths SV ownership

Bike: '05 plate SV S K5 in Red

Purchased: 5th April 2007 with 4012 miles on the clock.

Now covered: 3936 miles in 87 days (~3 months).

Costs along the way:
Petrol - £338.75
Insurance - £225 (Fully Comp, now with unlimited mileage )
Tools ~ £100 (Abba stand basically)
Service stuff ~ £50 (Oil, plugs, oil filter, brake fluid, coolant & P&P)
Accessories ~£50 (Fenda Extenda & 2nd hand F.Fabbri DB dark tint)
Tyres - Due a set @ ~£200

Average MPG 49.05

Gonna have to slow the rate of miles down though. Not going to be able to afford to keep going at the present rate.

Hi all
I've just recently moved to the land of beds and I have only seen 2 SV's in 8 months. I'm a new rider as well so looking for people to show me the ropes on an SV. If anyone is interested in showing a newbie around let me know. I'm in Marston between J13 M1 and Bedford. Need to rack up some miles this year and get to know the roads.

Hmm looks like it might be worth organising a little get together & ride Bedford way if the peeps on this thread are interested. Not sure I'm really the man for the job and I have no idea about the roads around there but I'll have a think about it and see if I get over that way for a play and check out of things.
