Yep. After having a go at the modern Yamaha colour schemes, I test rode one and realised I couldn't actually care less what colour they are when I'm on one enjoying that engine.

Difficult choice though as I did love my SV too. Just feels like time for a change. Just as I got the SV set up exactly as I liked it. Oh well.

I felt like that about my SV too. Suspension upgrades front and rear, lots of other mods and I'd kind of bonded with it after doing my own servicing. It was the cramped riding position that got me. The Yamaha is much more comfortable with better knee and hip angles.

Very similar to me then. I didn't realise I was a bit cramped on it until I tested a Tracer and felt really natural on it. Then felt a bit cramped when I got back on my SV to go home. Soon got used to it again though. I did have the bar conversion and lower Buell pegs to help though.
