Default Back on a v-twin :-)

Only this one's not an SV, it's an SP.

It's banana coloured and being Italian will most likely break down a lot.

It's one of these and I hope to pick it up very soon.

I don't think it matters, they are pretty similar mechanically and as you spend most of your time in the garage fixing them that's all you need to know......

ROFL by buying one do you also buy a life time escort of that RAC van. Saves on calling them out if they just shepherd you round everywhere

RAC? - I thought the whole idea of the yellow 916s and 748s was that they matched the AA vans......
