SV n00b says hello.....
 
Hello,

Had my SV Sport about 2 wks now, not ridden it much but it will very soon become my sole means of transport. Bought new as reliability is a massive concern, and the ole 0% did alot in its favour ;).

Been riding for 14years and my first 'new' bike - god I havent run a bike in since I had two-strokes :smt010 . I seem to have a wishlist like others - crash bungs, fenda extender, hugger etc etc (maybe even front fork springs).

Pearl nebula black for me thanks!

Anyways I live in SE Essex and dont mind the odd ride out, hope to catch up with others here some time.

Chris

Welcome Chris, prime location for the AR then or at least some of the roads on that route, the Essex crowd have started the hawk meetings again, so don't forget to have a look in their section, or if you ever fancy a run into Soho on a friday evening both Messie & Supervox from the Essex crowd know the way.

Cheers Mark.

Looking at this long term so the cost of servicing/insuring etc etc all had to add up aswell. I dont mind thrashing the jacobs off of any bike, but at least with the 650 'My' limits and the bikes limits should be much nearer to each other.

Just looking forwards to getting some pleasure miles on the clock. First impressions - flip me the clutch is light - and flip me the front brakes are very good, I really didnt think my old Gsxr400 ones were that bad :confused: shows what you get used to and ride around :-dd
