Just a few questions...

I think at least 5BHP of that is, my mate Jim from downtown says he has put two powerbands on his 50cc, one green and one blue and now it goes 70mph! Will I be able to beat him in a race?

No in all seriousness, I think I am going to get an SV650s, and use the money I saved in the insurance to buy a nice loud can and link pipe.

Sounds like a great plan to me, so I may just stick around if that's ok with you lot

P.S Serious question about the paint, how much was it? Looks really good to me, may go with a singular stripe as not to copy as much Do you think rim tape would do the trick if I used alot of it

Cheers guys.

Cost me about £300 all in, I think, though I stopped counting after the third time i had to buy more stuff, when I'd been totally sure I was done with it. Also about 3 months of my life, and my sanity.

Rim tape wouldn't be the best bet, but there's tape available for just this application. Try Demon Tweeks, maybe? They're great for that sort of thing... I think maybe Paints4u do some vnyl striping as well.

Cool, cheers for the advice all, I look forward to owning an SV650 in the near future.
