Welcome! I'm quite new to the riding scene too. Only passed about a month ago.

Post some pictures of your bike when you get a chance

Very nice. . . . . It'd be better in copper though - that's the fastest colour!!

I love it!! I thought about getting a CBR600/R6/ZX-6R etc but I think I made the intelligent choice. The SV has excellent mid-range power without being over-whelming, but it'll still lift the front wheel under hard acceleration and spin the back in the wet. There's just enough excitement without being too much.

I've definately learned more in the last month or so than I did during my DAS. My only advice is get out on all road types and weather conditions where possible - it'll make you far less fearful in the event that you do get caught out in the rain, for example.

How are you finding it?

Not quite - take a look at the downpipe - however, by normal standards it is a very clean bike !!
