Re: 2016 sv
Of down to Lincoln tomorrow for first service. Bike just gets better and better. Only have two complaints, seat is a little on the hard side and currently there are no accessories available, other than that absolutely delighted with it.

Re: 2016 sv
Anyone recommend a company to sort seat out, it is the only thing that I am not completely happy with.

There's this one in York. I've not used them myself but have seen them mentioned on here before.

Re: 2016 sv
I went on a short test ride today (I had to ride on a fixed route) on the new SV. I can agree with macamxthe1st that the seat is too hard. My bum was sore after only 20 minutes and when I compared it with the seat on my K3 naked I realised that the previous owner had put in a gel seat on my bike.
Apart from that, the gear change was so slick that sometimes I wasn't sure that the change had happened. The engine was very smooth and strong and it cornered like a dream, much better than my bike. Overall, I liked it a lot.

Re: 2016 sv
I have got well over a 1,000 miles on mine now and it just gets better and better. I have fitted Michelin Pr4's and they have made a big difference especially in the wet.
Just as an aside I was out yesterday and Midddleton -in-Teesdale was mobbed with guys on big adventure bikes (mainly GS's) dressed in full adventure type gear trying for a coronary struggling with these things to park them up probably for and "Adventure" coffee or even "Adventure" fish and chips.I believe I was having a great deal more fun for probably 1/3 of the price. Bet I've got 3 times the miles on by the end of the year as well. Geoff. |
