Smile New To The Forum

Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello !!

I'm new to the forum and to motorcycling (passed my test in April).

This is all due to me having a mid life crisis at 40 and now at 41 I've just bought my first bike - A Suzuki SV650 K4 Naked on a 2004/54 with 5K miles on it.

Loving the bike which I bought from my old boss, hes had it from new and its been a garage queen !!!
He was gutted to find I'd got it wet twice in my first weekend of ownership, but what could I do i needed to ride it !!!

I've just posted on the wanted forum as I'm looking for a tail tidy, hugger and seat cowl for it.

I'm taking it pretty easy familiarising myself with the bike and bike riding !!!
Although once a bit more confident and experienced hope to see some of you out and about maybe.

Cheers Andy

Andy, howdo. I'm liking the Blue Flame exhaust. Are you a northern m******y or a southern f***y? The middle being the Watford Gap.

SVs sound the best!

Hi, Welcome from a fellow newbie. Had my 06 for just under 2 weeks and love it. The only thing frustrating is everyone keeps saying its a perfect beginers bike! I have been riding for 21 years and owned all manner of machines and the SV is the smallest bike I have owned in about 10 years! The fun I get from riding it is huge!
