Surely Yamaha's engineers will have thought of that.
Too much of a basic error to make , I would have thought!

Point taken though.

Ah what is it with you fellas? The majority of what you are looking at in the "naked" picture is normally out of vision so what the F+ck if it isnt that pretty? My Ducati is sweet with her clothes on too,but not at her best disrobed. Ok so the new R6 is not overly beautiful front on but if they had gone indicator incorporated in mirrors then it would apear very different.

Apart from that I think that bike is bloody stunning. I also very much like the Triumph too. I am sure that Yamaha have considered water ingress in to the exhaust,if not a 5 minute job with a drill and bit sorts it doesn't it? However do we know what material the exhaust is made from? Some materials les prone to oxidisation problems?

Once again they have dared to be different with the exit position of the exhaust and I applaud that instead of just following the present fashion. All in all a cracking package of abike IMHO. Too many same old comments going on around here,maybe one or two people want to think outside the loop a little?

sorry but its what people think! and it does look cack!

Kwak...I understand what your saying matey....but at times bikes get a slating purely because they dare to be in or around the SV market,(I dont mean budget obviously) it's like...hey come on...let's live and let live..it might not be for you but it does not make the bike a piece of crap? There was an element in that for comments made on the new kawasaki twin also?

But then again what do I know?

i hate it
















on a seperate matter, anyone notice the look of temptation on this old boys face to the left ?

Don't stand on the fence dude, say what ya mean

it looks poop to me matey! no dout its a great bike but they all look to samey samey to me. the er6 is no dout another great bike but at the end of the day its all down to personal pref aint it.
i purchased my sv on looks and being a twin because ive been the sports il4 way and had enuf of all that but they are great bikes.
perhaps it will grow on me because i remember a time back when they changed the old 916 ducati to new model which you have and it scared the bloody life out of me(why spoil the best looking bike in the world)
but now i like the new ducati (your shape) so who knows?
kwak

Well if there were no such thing as a Triumph 675 or a Kawasaki 636 and I was looking at a 600ish screamer.......I would buy one tomorrow.In the red colour scheme! Brings back fond memories of my yoof.
