Well my bike was 10 years old yesterday...
Yup, i bought Doris th Sv brand new on December 2nd 2000. She covered a tad under 70000 miles and in that time shes had I bought it for the princley sum of £4256, including a Laserline alarm/imob.
16 rear tyres 6 front tyres 16 oil filters 5 sets of spark plugs 4 Air filters (Exc the renegade kit) 4 chain and sprocket kits 5 crashes 1 re-spray 3 ehxaust systems A renegade air kit 1 set of carbs 4 reg recs 4 batteries 1 valve clearnce check 1 generator 4 screens 2 changes of fork oil 3 rear shocks 1 clutch 7 MOT's 1 set Head bearings 26 dyno runs! and most importantly lots of fun Well thats all i can find reciepts for To this day its still a bike that makes me smile and even laugh sometimes. Yes there are better bikes out there that look better, go faster etc, but for a commuting machine inot london, i still think that the Mk1 SV is the best bike at it. Ok shes a little tatty round the edges, and shes burning a little oil but shes great. Last edited by Viney; 04-12-10 at 06:16 PM. |
