Yeaaaahh, not really. That does look a little rough. I just like the look of a naked bike.

...check out the various "curvy vs pointy" threads and you may aquire a new found appreciation for your most excellent ride...

...there are not too many unmolested specimens like that anymore...

...they were a track bike favorite and most of them are dead...

Will do. Also do you know where I could find a rear cowl for the seat? I can't seem to find one online

...no...I suspect they are close to unobtainable, but will ask around and keep a perpetual eye open...


...with this awesome itnerweb thing we have I can just come back in here and tell you if I find anything...

...I figger that anyone who wants one of these bikes in this day and age must have the same basic character flaws so we should watch out for each other...

...kind of like the guys at labusas.oRg...

...in the old days the site was actually aboot the bike, and a lot of people with the same thing wrong with them got together, and were are still bickering, those of us left...

...I find the SV650 an ideal bike for a retired road criminal...

...it is lots of fun on any good road, cruises fine, and I do not fall in over my head every time I ride it...

...I used to set out to take it easy on the Busa and find myself @ 100 mph on secondary roads by accident...

...it all seemed too easy but all the laws of physics still apply...

...the SV is not a total turd, but you will not go 100 mph by accident...

Welcome to the forum, I am sure you will be happy with your SV.

Good advice about the tyres and as others have said I would not not ride on 15 year old tyres as the rubber ages and hardens. How about brake fluid, pads and other stuff that may age without being used.
