Welcome to the madhouse...My advice? Blue n curvey...fastest shape n fastest colour...as for the technical side of things i aint got a clue
Some clever person will be along to tell you

Don't get an SV, get a girlfriend, much nicer to ride

Welcome Don't buy a yellow one there so slow

cheers for the advise so far chaps.
great advise razor, my misses is great to ride but hopefully an sv wont nag as much, but hopefully make as much nosie :P
and cuffy im glad she curvy and not blue!

welcome jay boi, the sv is a good choice of bike and isnt too bad on the insurance.

For a curvey anything from £1200 to £2000
Just look out for crash dammage and failed cam chain tentioners, Don't be put off by heaverly modded ones like susspention upgrades as the standard is poo!
