Default Which SV Did You/Do You Have?

I've often wondered what ratio of naked to faired SV's there are. Doing any rideout or weekend the faired are always in a majority, so I thought I'd do a poll!

I've given people to option to vote more than once, as I know some have owned both curvy and pointy. Sadly, you can't vote more than once for one option though.

I haven't included a fully faired curvy, as that was never offered as standard.

That's because they are much sexier.

Thats because people buy the fully faired as a weekend bike - hence you see them at the weekends .....

Many of us use the SV as a commuter, and really wouldn't want, or want to spend the extra on a fully faired just to get them ruined .....

On this poll maybe - but not on the road.
What about the thousands?

On the contrary, most SVs I see on my commute are faired.

Cos they're nicer!

Yellow and curvy with lowers hugger and cowl al colour matched, the original owner spent a lot of money and didn't ride it a lot.

First SV was a naked curvy - when I was looking for a naked there were far too many faired ones about!

Now have a faired SV1000 and must admit am grateful for the fairing...
