So she's going to sound like an Apache Helichopper then matt? The neighbours are going to love me! Just after I thought I was a considerable respectable neighbour by fitting the SV with a db killer

Anyway, picked her up yesterday, took her for the first run. OMG doesn't even come close!

Funny old World.My best M8 has gone the other way round.He part-exed his Sprint for a brand new Triumph Street cup,

But has also bought a low mileage SV650s in silver.His Missus has a 600 Fazer.

I test rode a sprint a beautiful handling bike although a lot softer than my pointy S. It's going to be a brilliant bike for touring but I suspect you'll miss the way your SV goes around corners. Those frame sliders are expensive it's a nice extra. I was warned that the swingarm needs dismantling every 12K to lubricate the bearings as they are prone to seizing.
