SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default What will happen to the org?

What's going to happen to the sv650.org website if they do discontinue the sv650 with the Gladius ?

Name change to www.Gladius.org ?

Keep as SV650.org but have a Gladius section?

Not bothered?

Just a thought.

Nothing... people still have SV's, same as people still have RGV's.

But in years to come they will become less and less if discontinued so the org will stop attracting new users and end up dying off unless it embraces change surely...

I am probably wrong just thinking out loud really...Long way off yet though..

They would have to eradicate every single SV in the world before this place changed it`s name . I can`t see them Discontinuing the SV too soon , it`s one of their top sellers worldwide .

Why is that then? It's the people who make a successful website like the org work rather than just the bikes. However, having a website with no current model in production would be self destructive in my opinion as you would fail to attract new members.

Hope you are right that the SV stays as one of there current models..

I will always have 2 SV's... so I will always be on here. Plus you make it sound as though people don't buy second hand.

What about the people that buy 2nd hand SV's, what about the people who buy old SV's in years to come and want to restore / rebuild them.

+1, people will still want tips on fixing, buying used SV's etc. The .org will always be wanted, have no fear!
