Default Re: How to stop your bike being stolen. Tried and proven method

with fear of interupting,i also had an er6f until a corsa put it down a 15 foot embankment, i found the rear suspension gave up a little easily when pushed hard on bumpy b roads,the fairing was caught by the wind far to easily and was the only bike i have ridden that was very badly blown around on motorways,but the engine itself was quite capable and i should imagine well suited to the more upright versy,as i feel the sv is in the v strom,still would prefer a shaft on it as in the past i have had no problems with shaft driven bikes,and certainly no problems in the handling stakes derived from what the shaft is doing,and found maintenance not to be a problem,

So does the standard SV to be fair. I am 16 stone, but its the worst rear suspension I've ridden* for threatening to buck me out the seat on a bumpy corner.

* I was about to write 'worst read end I've ridden' then I thought better of it.
