TBH my SV is nearly 2 years old now and it looks like the day it rolled out the factory, i can count the number of times i've ridden it in the wet on both hands and it's always been stored int he garage and washed, etc etc

there's a whole bunch of 675s out there for sale, in my price range with 1-3k on the clocks, i reckon if i find a well cared for one to begin with i can keep it shiny - i know if i bought an R6 or 600RR i'd think "i wish i'd got the triumph" every time i opened the garage door

and its british!!!!!!!

Sounds like a hair dryer

Saw and heard one today, pretty nice sound for a bike with too many cylinders in the wrong configuration...
