Vanity and a sticker is all that makes an 'R', as far as I'm concerned mine are both SV???S's!!!

Re: What makes an SVxxxR an 'R'?
 

I used to want stickers in the style of the standard "SV650S" but with "SV650XS", same idea but a bit more subtle. Do not like the SV-R thing. Especially when 9/10 of the SVs wearing said stickers are lower spec than mine...

One thing that I see sometimes on the US forums is "SV superbike". Seriously, what the? If it has 160bhp then perhaps it's a superbike.

Re: What makes an SVxxxR an 'R'?
 

I sit safe in the knowledge that my SV has 195 rear wheel bhp (as tested by a dyno jet xtrbu11SH1T rolling road) and has been radar and GPS tested to a top speed of 201.3 mph. I even printed myself a certificate to prove it.

Therefore I have no need to stick such common tat to my bike, instead I stick copious stickers of the Nurburgring on it just to prove how hard I am.

At this point, I think I will keep quiet.

Bumped into a chap at Newlands Corner recently who had an SV996R.

He'd just bought it off someone and was looking at replacing the sticker....

I think Chewy22 made those up. Just says "I wanted a different bike" to me, it's like naming your daughter Howardina.

I more saw the tongue in cheek aspect of it meself. But then I tend to be rather a tongue in cheek person.

Sadly, my tongue in my cheek, but there you go!!!
