Excited little (41 year old) kid alert!
 
ok, today i picked up my new toy.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...newbike006.jpg

my god! is it possible for the speedo to be wrong? have i really been going that fast? is the sv 650 really that fast? i dont think ive stopped smiling!

question. when you go over a speed bump, do you get your ass off the seat? i have to, its just an off road habbit i guess, but i was wondering if i looked like a **** doing it ha ha ha

now ive actualy got the toy in my possession, im afarid there will be more questions!

I stand on the pegs for bumps/Helmsley jumps, it's the only way, although had the rear fish tail on landing earlier this week, all good fun ;)

Well, what did it say? You might want to check that it's in miles per hour, not kilometers, as it's possible to switch the speedo between the two. 80mph = 128km/h.
