Oops Tommy. Don't give up on the SV yet!! She's a little beauty.

I decided to keep mine for another year after fitting new fork springs and ZX6r shock. It's far more planted now and like a different bike. And with getting a DRZ - I'm out of funds .

Although having said that, I will probably be looking next year, so am interested to see what bike you get!

Good luck with the hunt...

It was touring that made me get rid of the SV, it just wasn't up to the task for me. Too small not enough power and unbalanced with all the givi stuff on it.

Do it, do it, do it! Just don't be a fool and buy a 600. Seriously who would buy a 600 instead of the 750....

Clearly no one agrees with you since everyone is buying Gixxers.
