Default Hi, new owner here :)

Hi, name's Rob

Recently acquired myself an 04 SV650S after selling my K4 GSXR1000



Whilst I loved the GSXR, it was too quick for the road (restraint is an issue for me ) and it was too good to track, so I fancied something lower powered and a bit slower and this came up.

It's not perfect, got a few marks here and there and is currently in for a good service/clean and check up with a mechanic mate prior to taking her for MOT. But it was cheap, it's clean and will do all I want.

I've only ridden one once before a long time ago when I rode one back for a mate who'd just passed his test, and I always remember it for been easy, super smooth power delivery and handling really well. I had an NC30 at the time! So i'm looking forward to getting this one sorted and ridden

Anyway, thought i'd say hello and apologise in advance for posting straight away in the wanted/for sale boards, I know it's not really cricket but I would like a pillion pad asap and also want to sell the exhaust that's on it as too loud for me!

Cheers,
Rob

Congrats on the purchase and welcome.Watch the rev limiter as I'm sure you'll hit it a few times until you get used to the V
