Default Hi from the peoples republic...

of South Yorkshire...
Dave here...

I just bought a pretty original 2000 SV650 for the princely sum of £900 from its original owner, 17K miles. Hope to end up with it on the track but would be a shame not to run it a bit on the road.

Suspension mods first I think, front and rear.

Loads of info on here and UK people, looks a great pace of first glance. My other bike is a Superduke. I got an R6 for the track but hated its revvy nature so flogged it and bought the SV because its an V twin and I was impressed with my mates when we went to Spain the other year..

Dave
