Yes and no, Its pre reg but not a demo.

He Pre Reg it in sept to use when the roads got better this year but hasn't used it. So it has zero miles on it. Also as luck would have it in the month it was pre reg suzuki extended the warranties to 3 years!! So I have an extra year to complain about the build quality. I only went 4 months without a bike, it was awful. Already found a noisy pipe for it, missed having a v-twin.

Thats a Baz special
Ooh what pipe you getting?

Well first it was an akra, then it was a full arrow system, then I found GPR who look to be the equivalent of fuel exhausts but for slightly more exotic things such as trailies. Carbon one is £350 arrow and akra both weigh in at over £600.

We both know that a pipe is essential on an SV motor. pop pop pop bang etc.

Really looking forward to having a new suzuki!!

GPR are decent pipes know one or two who've had them.
I would love a set of Mivv pipes but they're about £450 new

I'm just basically looking for the cheapest pipe I can remove the baffle from to make the twin sound the way it should. I see the GPR pipes even have room for the o2 sensor so if i'm right (and i rarely am). the bike should run fine with a new pipe.

Obviously the second i paid the deposit (which i didn't cos i didn't even have a quid on me) the weatherman forecast snow.

haha

Sounds about right

I literally can't wait to take it to hartside.

Baz special was sweetened today with the addition of £300 worth of free extras, woo, i picked a centre stand, tank protector and hand guards..

Bastid!!! I found out about that on Saturday talking to one of the other lads

Couldn't give me the 800 quids worth, but said I could have some! Best deal on a bike ever I think, apart from maybe george whites when they were giving ninjas away for 4900 quid
