Default Yes or No ?

Hi peps,

As you know i was lucky enough to have broken my SV.

I bought the R6 and its GREAT...Very quick .. and handles like a 18 yr Lap dancer!


i Really love it....

BUT! I really miss my SV and im thinking of selling the R6 to get another yellow curvey SV and with he cash i have left i could still get another full renegade system again with twin pipes...

i used love the way my bike burbled when shifting down ....the way it ROARRRED when powering up through the gears... it was sooo nice and just how i wanted it.



so should i or should i stick to the R6 ???? HELP???????

Which one makes/made you smile more? Keep/buy another accordingly.

Certainly, any modern 600 will be a 'better' bike in all quantifiable ways, but which you like best is a different matter.

I'd keep the R6. But I'd nakedise it Have a look in the back of this month's Streetfithers, teh black frame looks amazingly good naked.

Get a TL1000 and have the roar, a faster pace, but will handle more like a 35 YO lap dancer with 2 kids, not the fgresh 18 year old

Seriously, i do love my SV, its effortless to ride in london, low down umph, but when i get out onto open roads, i crave for that bit more power.....

SV1000 with a bottle of nitrous??

IMO though, thats a step backwards again..
