i'd say use the SV, its a great commuter - and could you really handle being stuck on a bus or scooter when you could be riding your bike?

Niether is my answer... Buy an ER5 or a CB500 to commute on - that's what they're designed to do :!: :wink:

I agree with Cloggsy,
I have a Honda RC31 and Yamaha XT600 for running about on. Use SV on good days and others rest of time. Workshifts and do not fancy putting SV down road on ice and snow.

That's what the SV is designed to do too :!: I could understand if it was a Ducati or something,
but we're talking about a budget middle weight bike here.

It's not an expencive bike to buy or run, why limit the fun you can have to just the weekends :?: .

Two year old SV, 100.000 mile to date.One lot of road tax, one lot of insurance,Now that's getting value for money. 8)

Cheers Mark.

Thats O/K down south, but us Northern lads have to ride in the snow in the Dales :(

True :wink:

Use the SV and don't worry about it.

Use the bike.

1. More "get out of trouble" power.
2. Quicker in traffic
3. Better from the lights (once youve filtered to the front :D )
4. It'll impress your mates!

I've been commuting to work by bike for 3 years now and i dont wish to swap to a car. I get too many benefits. The only downfall is the bad weather but as soon as i get my protective clothing off i'm the same as everyone else!

A bikes for riding not sitting in a garage, i dont know how many miles your bike has done already but whats a few more miles compared to the grin on your face :D

Don't wish to rock the boat so I'll agree with everyone else. Mine's way above average mileage (as opposed to HUUuugeelly above average, you know how you are :) ) And I can't see that changing, I enjoy riding it too much.

I agree with Mark, even though I cannot match his mileage.
