Re: Your SV successor?
 

Only five weeks on the SV, so no plans for replacing it yet.

Maybe in a year or so I'll add something comfy with luggage for longer rides, but at the moment one bike is enough.

Re: Your SV successor?
 

Mine was replaced out of necessity.

The SV was well and truely trashed and an offer was made that I couldn't refuse.

Now the proud owner of a 1993/94 Honda CB1000 (The Big One).

I'm slowly restoring it bit by bit to mint condition.

Re: Your SV successor?
 

I don't intend to ever get rid of my SV! Had a long hard think the other day about what I would replace it with down the line. Came to the conclusion that I don't want/need any other bike, I like my SV too much! Also considered the fact that I don't NEED to go any faster, or have any more power because, realistically, I won't use it.

For me personally (totally my own opinion of course!) I don't see the need for the 160 odd horses that come with a 1000, or the silly speeds they can do. For track days/racing, it makes perfect sense, but on the road where the speed limit is 70 (even if I do occasionally stray over that!) I just don't see the point.

I would never, ever tell one of my friends not to get a bigger bike if they wanted to because (completely contradicting myself) I can see the appeal of the 750's/1000's etc. Having all that power is alluring and knowing that it's there without having to always use is it empowering.

So for myself, I intend to make my SV the best bike it can be (M4 full system, v-stacks, bmc, remap and gsxr front end all planned!) because I like the fact that it does 0-60 incredibly quickly, can still do illegal speeds if you want it to and the fact that I always get excited when i'm about to hop on, whatever the weather :)

With a bigger more powerful bike, I'd be wary of my right wrist and would probably lose my license very quickly through lack of restraint!

It was meant to be funny a while back. Now I don't mention it too often unless its friends I know well enough que to bringing it up... Paul just happens to be one of those. :)

Ill not mention it again if thats how you feel though... :(

That & a jousting pole so you can take peoples mirrors off whilst pulling a wheelie

Re: Your SV successor?
 

I want a street triple after the SV. But to be honest i will probably change my mind by then.

Re: Your SV successor?
 

Drool. That's gorgeous. If I was replacing the Speed Triple with another street bike, I'd want one of those.
