Contemplating a different bike - Page 7 - SV650.org

Thought I'd post a new pic of the bike in current form

Just need to cut out bits from the belly pan to allow for the new engine bars and fir it and that'll be it for a while....

Next mods will likely be powder coating some of the shiny stuff, maybe fitting some alternative indicators if I find some I like, and trying to mount the garmin behind the flyscreen. I am holding off on performance mods until the warranty is no more...

And you took the p*ss out of the Buell?

Seriously though, very nice!

But getting the Harley is a step tooooo far lol, any Triumph is allowed, it's British rather than that American stuff

Thanks, roll on the summer weather! I don't want to get it out on the road in this crap again, far too much cleaning to be done!

How the f' did he get that wheeling like that! Think I'll leave it to the experts and just twist out of the corners

You rode past me and the wife as you left the bike park on Sunday. Bike looks and sounds lovely.

First ride with the wife on the st1100 up to hunstanton for chippy lunch.

That was your nice and tidy white panny was it? I was parked briefly up that end of the bike park for a quick toilet trip then was off again. Knackered me out that day...pushing the beast around the coast roads for 150 miles

Nah, Mine was the nice tidy green panny in the car park down the street. (not really sure why I parked it there tbh ...)

I can imagine. I had a fairly leisurely ride whilst the other half is getting used to her perch.
