which new bike? - Page 3 - SV650.org

31-08-09, 07:20 PM

I'd be tempted by the GT as i'm really intrested in doing some touring myself. Can anyone find out how i can get more info on this? Free satnav etc... sounds very intresting to me.

Only thing is on top i wanna swap my SV for something abit more powerful like a CBR600 but i might have to hold on that till next year if i got a new bike in next month or 2.

Test rides mate, its the only way you'll find out what you like...

I reakon this would suit you Quiff, comfy and be much better two up, plus plenty of room for your hair straighteners aswell. Plus they're a cheap bike for what you get so sell yours and stump up a little for the 1250 job done!!

And the insurance on one of them for a 17 year old with 0 years no claims was only 400 quid fully comp so im guessing its going to be amazingly cheap for you

Nice - that one even has a rack included

I think theres a fair bit of choice in there though - maybe the baby 800 GS is an option, as is the tiger 1050 if the soft-roader is your thing. If you're seriously in the market though, its definatly going to have to be a bums on seats job.
