Default I'm baaaaack!

Hey everyone! been a while since i was last posting here, been SV'less for about a year now, and have decided that the best way forward would be with the Sv1000 this time round.

Bagged myself this 05 SV1000 SZ today for a good price, pick her up next Tuesday once she has had a clean up, full service, valve clearances and a fresh MOT. going to be a long 10days for me!

Me too hahaha

I was going to suggest getting all the panels and such tagged as they'll be whipped off, fitted elsewhere and sent down a runway before you can say "what de fock"

Cheers guys, fairings may well end up coming off at some point anyway as i do generally prefer proper bars on my bikes, so she may well end up naked.... Fairings are in bloody good nick so if i do decide to strip her off i should see decent money back for them

Was so weird going from a streetfightered FZ6 to the Sv for the test ride, felt like it just didnt want to turn in comparison, by time i was getting used to it again, the test ride was over!

Just cant wait til the 5th now to get her set up and some saddle time in!

Weegie, that looks really clean mate! If our anything like me, your gonna be grinning for the whole of feb too!
