Picked my SV up today after sorting insurance and security. First few junctions were a bit scary as i've not ridden a bike in the position of the SV650S, went out for a ride for a couple of hours with my dad on his Buell XB12Ss, I thought the SV was loud with a CCC can, he's had the Remus put on it and it sounds like the end of the world!! Anyways, got used to it after about half an hour and have to say i'm loving it (no McD's pun intended). Low down revs the bike sounds fantastic, almost like a V8 in a Car. Roads are horrible at the moment but started getting confidence in the corners and felt great. The spec of the bike is in my sig, i'll get some pictures up soon but what a bike!!

I'll try and get some pics tonight, although i've been out on it all morning and it's now gone from showroom to completely caked in crap! Any best wash method threads around??!

Loads of them, the most recent general consensus seems to be that Muc-Off is rubbish and you want something called S Doc 100?
