One of the best looking bikes imo. If i'd have bought a sportsbike, it would have been exactly that.

Rich - 2 issues that I need to raise..

1.) Powerbronze screen ??? Slightly smoked ??? Looks v.nice. I been contemplating on one myself but wasn't sure whether a dark screen would look a bit pap

2.) Whats that white mudguard thingy-bob you got ??

3.) Yeah, i know i said 2 but i can't be bothered to go back and change it.. how's the new zorst ?? feel much of a difference ?? Have you had the bike re-mapped or tuned in anyway post-installation ??

Yeh its a light smoke Suzuki DB screen, there was a few new ones on ebay for sale but can't see any at the mo!!! About £60 i think, not 100% on that though!!!

2.) Whats that white mudguard thingy-bob you got ??

It's a special order one from powerbronze, if you go to their website you can see the gold and silver mesh ones. You have to phone up for different colour mesh it costs £5 extra for your choice!!

The new exhaust is awesome, a nice low rumble at low revs but if your going through town or past plod put it in 5/6th no need to worry. Then out on the open road open her up and it sounds like a GP bike.. :smt020 I went through the gorge and it was soo loud you could almost feel the vibrations through the gorge walls!!! :cool: ... It feels much smoother, before i had it all set-up theres was abit of a dip in power around 6-7k and then from 8k onwards it would go but now it goes from 4-16rpm smooth as you like. The power is much more accessable even overtakes in 5th arn't as much of a struggle!! I had it all set-up and installed by JHS racing heres my post http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=125808.. It's not making as much power as some have had but the power it does make is still too much for me and my experiance.. :rolleyes:

So sheep and tourists aren't the same thing then. They behave in the same manner...
