Sorry, a big no from me, I think that the SV's look better with a solid coulour scheme, but as someone has already said, personal prefference!

I think it looks terrible.

IMO the only bikes that can get away with those sort of colour schemes/graphics are track bikes. Looks incredibly tacky on the road.

Whatever floats your boat though.

IMO that somehow reminds me of a police bike

Up to you of course as it's a terribly personal thing, but I agree with whoever said solid colours suit the SV. I like it's understated-ness, nice and clean.

The problem with race gfx is that after a couple of years the paint job can look dated. Ok some look great (really like Marlboro colours) but some on the other hand look hideous.
Saying that I really like the new Tenkate Hanspree Honda CBR. Looks nice in green & white
