Spent some time yesterday trying to track down information on the LSL bars fitted to this variant, drew a complete blank. spoke to LSL's UK importers etc. nothing. Just two questions, identify the specific bar and can the standard cables and hydraulics accommodate their installation. Should anyone posses these pearls of wisdom, please let me know. I would be eternally grateful.

Geoff.

You will need Brown seat to hide the inevitable stains if you ever try to go scrambling on it

Is it a nice looking SV? Yes. Is it a scrambler? No.
Would I buy one, yeah IF I could afford it - which I can't.

3) some kind of sump protection
4) lose 30 lbs weight.
5) handlebar guards
6) some kind of radiator protection for when it gets dropped.
7) a rear mudguard or some method of stopping mud from being deposited on your back.
I loathe brown - but that's just me.

other than that, it's perfect (although I prefer shiny paint).

Google Honda CL450 - this was a better urban scrambler from a few years ago (imho). I like the concept but not this (Suzuki) implementation.
I think the problem here is you're expecting an actual useable scrambler, this is a "scrambler" purely in the hipster term of the word and perfect for sitting outside the cafe on your weekly Sunday ride out while you stroke your beard and smoke your rollie.

Hey! Not all rollie smokers can be tarnished by the hipster mark!

I really do like it but I have a feeling it'll be overpriced for what it actually is

Looks unfinished to me. Look at the lower edge of the tank where it meets the frame. Something has been removed from the original bike and left a normally hidden fixing point.
