Good luck with your new bike!

Got the right number of Cylinders so good times ha ha. :) Hope you enjoy it a lot!

So when we organising a camping trip into the lakes? Im going to be trying to get out camping as much as possible over the Summer, try to make the most of it I think.

Let us know how it is after you got a few miles under the belt, I expect a review like my own :-D

From what Ive read from past SV owners, they prefer the Versys. Now for me, Suzuki should have got involved with this "all rounder" stuff, and sharpened up the V-Strom. Its got the perfect engine, but its too heavy, and isnt at all stylish or funky. Theyre missing a trick here. I would have loved for me to be able to buy a bike which was just like the Versys but had an SV engine in it. Im not sure if Ill prefer the parallel over the V as the V does sound better but ill be giving a review of the bike make no doubt about that.

As far as camping goes, Im just waiting until it warms up out there....

Nah!
He uses his right hand to press the enter key & it's twitching already in anticipation.

I like the look of that bike. Think that’s the one for me if I ever get back to needing a bike for commuting. As fro the Dunlop tri compound roadsmarts, they are excellent on the SV. I only replaced the originals like for like since I got the bike from new in 2002 and change to the roadsmart last year. Completely better at everything.

Hopefully, I will be back for a few ride outs in the summer. Would be good to meet up with some of you north east (and other) lot.
