Sv enough or not?
 

So how many of you have sold your sv to get a different bike and then come back to an sv because you find the sv enough for your needs?
Ive had loads of different bikes but am seriously considering getting another sv because it does everything i need a bike to do.

Also how many of you have gone to the dark side and find they miss the v twin?

I went to a Daytona 955i then bought another SV about 3 months later. Am now on SV numbers 4 and 5

Went from 650 to 1000 and DO NOT long to go back ;) Had a 600 Hairnet for first bike and miss that a little though. Probably cos first bike though :confused:

The SV is everything I will ever want and need :cool: ...

V Twin,
Modern, comfortable and reliable (compared to my first bike - 1979 Guzzi and my original wishlist - Triumph Bonnie)
fast (enough for me!)
easy to ride - flickable on the twisties :D

I have fond memories of my blue K3 but not sure I'd want to go back to my first bike. It's a great bike but I prefer the riding position and feel of the GSXR.

I miss my GS650 Katana...

I'm contemplating changing my SV for a bigger V twin in the winter........but then again do I need to? me thinks not as the SV is such a great real world bike for real roads.

Hmmmmm

I've been all the way up to Supersport 750's. YZF & GSXR and come back down again.

The SV does it just fine for me. It has enough speed to get me into trouble. I have sorted the handling, it's cheap (most important).

I do fear though, there is not a decent replacement mini v-twin out there at the moment. When this one goes pop, I shall be looking to replace it with something similar. There isn't anything out there. Don't bother saying a pointy, as they are just ugly and wrong.
