Spotted SV being used for courier work

I remember seeing people asking if SV's ever got used for couriering on here a few times, so I thought I'd share my "eye-spy" from this morning

On my commute to work I gave a friendly nod to a fellow SV rider, then spotted the Post Haste bag! An SV being used for courier work!

It's a yellow curvey with fairing lowers, rider was wearing a black Arai TourX lid.

Hope he's stocked up on the ACF-50

I've seen a few R1's & R6's being used a courier bikes on my way into work here in London. I've even seen a very dirty & tatty CBR600RR being used. OBviously brave and committed

There used to be a guy in kingston who had a red SV650s (curvy) that was used for courier purposes. It was loud, and the sole reason I lusted for an SV.

I saw the same guy many times over the years, the SV is a pretty good courier bike I think.

I have seen a TL1000R with a courier on board

Morning all.
When I was down in Sunbury, I had a couple of customers who despatched SV's. I remember one of them went round the clock with no engine work, other than servicing & a couple of cam chain tensioners.
It finally got written off in an accident at around 110k, (he was ok).

Cheers.

I've also seen a guy on a ZX7-R racing through kingston past the uni. He is an organ courier! Bloody quick aswell

You don't see many svs as couriers in london.
