Return to the fold !
Hiya all rem me ( well the guys in Scotland ) I was the owner of a yellow curvy and I kinda drifted away , swapped my bike for a cbr 6 ,sold that and had various cars since then ,so Iv not been on a bike for years .
But now I want another and guess what I want ,,,,I want the sv v twin in my life again,so I'm basically starting all over again ,and on the hunt for one ,I would prefer a naked for the more upright riding position (mine was the faired one , ) and I think now I'm older and stiffer it'd b sore wrists,anyway glad to b back |

Howzitgaun Jim?
Good to hear you are needing a two-wheel fix again. Good luck in the search. I would class the nakeds as rare especially the version of your auld blobby and those nekkids were never bettered. Have a look at Street Triples and MT-07's too. |

GSX14 no more. I went full touring nerd 4year ago with a Crosstourer DCT. I bring out its bad side though! Can't help it as it has some soundtrack. Have heard a few MT-07's on the road and they sound glorious. Well nearly as glorious as a proper twin. |

Re: Return to the fold !
Welcome back.It took me quite a while and wait to find my Naked 1999 SV X(16k Miles) but I knew I wanted the ,"Sit-up-and-beg" position after sitting on a M8's SV650S.I too am of that age with some now minor shoulder damage and a few niggling neck aches that I couldn't handle the lower riding position for any length of time of the ,"S" types.
I also wanted the Carb versions as that's what I'm used to working. Having set-up my SV how I wanted it I can now do over 200 miles in a day without any problems

Re: Return to the fold !
Bit far from you and maybe a bit overpriced for the year but guess what....

No bids so far and only 3 hrs left, may be worth a low bid.
