Done it, bought a new one....

But not an SV im afraid. Deal was too good, but im going to miss that lovley Vee Twin note..

06 Bandit S 650cc. Top box, ABS, fender extender, RnG's £4200 total. 0 miles, not yet registered.

Pick it up saturday afternoon. Great for the commute to work, i know it may have some quality issues, but i'll be looking after it. Missis will love the backrest topbox

I will be fixing the SV's clutch issues after some grea advice from SVRash (cheers dude!! ), but I feel its time for a new experience. Who knows, I may come back to an SV in a few years as I really can't see me getting a Ducati or Honda twin for work

I'll still use the site though as a nice bunch of people on here. Just gutted I never actually made it to a meet on the SV

Last of the oil cooled Blandits. Good choice

Commiserations.

Nice to see the support....

Hey, at least it's the right colour!

Aye, same colour, so all my gear matches...

Looking around for a bike with the same kit, is coming up for over £4300-£4400+, so im not complaining, and now i'll have a brand new bike, rather than an SV with 28k on it.

Its not the best bike in the world, but it will be good for what i need it for.

Daimo - looks like a nice bike to me!

However I only see SV drivers smiling in the mornings, but as the SV is the only bike I've ever had I have nothing to compare to.

Enjoy

Its the revised 650cc version as well, so won't be as poor as the previous model.

Hell, i like it, won't be as exciting to ride im sure, but should be reliable, and if it DOES go wrong, I have a nice big warrenty to cover it

Im happy anyway

The 650 engine is great. Much more torque than the 600. ABS on a commuting tool

Add a scottoiler, heated grips and a hugger to keep the crud off and you're sorted.
