First SV, and looking forward to seeing how she goes come April.

1 + 2x 1/2 SVs (so on average, 2)

I like the SV650 and have ridden most models and years.

Sort that out when the weather gets better.

I'll need to drag it out for an MOT soon. I haven't touched it for 4 months so it's probably broken itself again. It seems to go in the huff a lot.

Tricky question.

2 road SVs, were converted to track SVs, so if we were to refit all the spares we would have the same number of bikes as we do now, but performing neither function well (I don't fancy my chances of re-soldering the looms back together, or re-welding the sub-frames to take a standard seat unit).

So on the face of it we have a lot of spares, from which you can build 0 bikes.

But I'm pretty sure there's no funny quantum state stuff going on here as they take up plenty of room in the garage so definitely are entirely here in this dimension.
