Owdoo
Just bought myself an SV650 today, pick her up next saturday. T Reg Naked Model 12000miles FSH with a few trick bits on it.
The names Col and I am a plant hire manager & CBT Instructor at the weekend. I ride about 300 miles a week, whatever the weather (except snow). What is the finish on these SV's like? will it be ok in the good old English winter. |

Re: Owdoo
Welcome to the madhouse Col (ha - got in first)
Finish on the SV is up/down to the usual suzuki standard. Curvy forks have a habit of pitting, however keep the salt of in the winter and it should be ok

Re: Owdoo
Hiya, good choice - T Reg, no dodgy plastic bits or contortionist clip ons
  Ive only rode through one winter so cant comment really on how the finish bears up, mine's still excellent though.
