Default 20th Anniversary

I'm a bit late with this, but I realised last month that the SV650 was first launched in 1999.


Here's the original first look from Bike magazine dated Feb 1999.

Maybe we can have a proper celebration in 2023 when it's 20 years since the pointy was released.

Mine was a T reg too. I was the second owner and bought it in September. Only had 4k miles.
