scared of the power? so got a thou instead
although the sv thou being a bigger bike will fit him/you better, imo.

gixxer 750 will be quicker than the sv1000 ( especially round the redline )

The older srads were a fairly big and comfy bike too.
I guess its just personal preference when it comes down to it though.

I wasn't trying to be funny when I posted that - I reckoned you'd qualify for the funding being ex-mob, so you may as well take them up on it.

make sure shed is 10ft wide by at least 8ft deep.
Then you are ensuring much space to work in, and much space for more shiny shiny bikes

PS you can fit three shiny shiny bikes side by side in said sized shed
