New SV650

Cheers guys all handy stuff. I actually rode a bike very similar (if not the same) the the SV when I was in Oz, was called a Hyusung Comet i think, did the whole of the great ocean road on it, very nice ride (why i chose the sv)

Carrying your shopping in a rucksack is all good untill the ice-cream melts...

My personal choice was to remove the plastic dunlops and fit something stickier!

Have just replaced my 220's by Z6's. Took me 3 years and 9000 miles to wear the 220's out.

Thats a horrendous figure, I just cant feel safe with a tyre that refuses to give up for that long. I used to get less than 1800 miles at times out of my BT014 on the CBR6.

Yes, I am a tightfisted old git. Would have never parted with the stock
tyres if it weren't for the first MOT.

BTW, congratulations, poisonidea! The first thing you should do is
fit R&G crash bungs. Had mine fitted before the bike was delivered.
