New guy with a pointy one.
 
Sure I'll have a few questions at some point, but for now, just saying hello :)

Am 22 from Cheshire, did my DAS last month (with Probike, in Queensferry) after riding a Yamaha YZF-R125 for 6 months, have now bought a 2006/06 SV650S in metallic blue with less than 3,000 miles on the clock.

It was 150 miles away (purchased from a Suzuki dealer), 95% motorway, not exactly a fun ride back... but at least I found out the seat is nice and comfy!

Overall pleased with the bike, but I'm finding the stock Dunlop tyres poor in anything but ideal conditions, oh and the front suspension is a tad soft for my liking. Looking to sort both those things soon.

Welcome to the Site , Avon Storms are a good choice of tyre for an SV and chucking in some new springs and oil on the front sorted mine right out :)

Welcome and watch out - too much time here and you'll have a list of mods longer than your arms !! I joined a couple of months ago, happy with my stock pointy and now.... double bubble screen, new indicators, new can, oil cover, tail tidy, k&n filter, michelin pilot road 2's,fender extender, gsxr rear shock (still to be fitted) and planning- front springs/gsxr front end, dogbones, rearsets, hugger, belly pan and braided lines. Maybe I'm just too easily led ??
