Just a few questions...

No sound unfortunately. It doesn't sound like a duke, it's a softer, heavier sound. i like it But you can do a lot with it- Scorpions are raspy, CCC are rough as hell, there's Termis available... Lot of options.

The stripes are in paint by the way

I like the fact that there is different sounds to choose from, though the guy on the SV1000 I saw on Sunday who saw us filming near Squires had some twin cans and they sounded awesome. He kept coming back and wheelying past us, show off but had some skills. I'm talking at least 100mph wheelies. Balls of steel!

I like how the stripes are in the paint, though I might pay homage with rim tape, will it add much BHP to my bike if I do this?

Will get a few tins of that for the winter months.

Pretty sure the tanks are 16ltr on the 2004 and below

Cheers for that, so I'm looking at about £14 for a full tank, at 45mpg, 1 gallon is about 4.5 litres, 160 miles to a tank, about 150 miles to reserve, about that? Or is that maths totally wrong

I remember reading somewhere most people seem to get an adverage 120 out of the curvies before deciding its a good idea to find a place to refill....

That's good miles per smiles in my opinion, suppose it does matter how you ride it though.

Be warned all my knowlage is just from killing time on this forum... I havnt even passed my bike test yet :P

Looking forward to riding my Naked K6 on the 15th tho, so ive done most this research before

Even ridden hard my worst out of a tank full was 86 miles

I know the feeling, I'm like that with BCF but I can see this forum being one of my future favourite haunts. Good luck with your test.

Still good, I'm planning on touring on it so I need a reliable bike with a good tank range.

Bike Trader is a great place to look for a bike however if it's a 650 your after then in the first instance I would look in the For Sale section of this site. You will get a better deal and more honest review from the people on the forum. I'm not saying you wouldn't on bike trader but I wish I had looked in the for sale section before buying mine from a dealer.

Yeah I am going to do that, the good deals are always snapped up.

Anyone in the Yorkshire area selling their SV650s in late August/early September let me know.

It tips the scales at 77bhp at the rear wheel, but I don't think that's entirely down to the paint
