Welcome to the org.

Definately look out for one that has a pointy front end... curves should be left to where they look best... on the ladies.

Greetings, just down the road from me there, do you currently ride (125 I'd guess?)

anyway, if so (or not) make your way to Soho (details at the top of that section) and talk to the guys there.

Cheers Mark.

hi all, thanks for the welcomes. i dont ride currently, being 27 im a late starter lol
I was thinking of getting something like a 250 but then saw the SV and spoke to couple of people about them being an ok first bike if you dont go crazy.

welcome, with a name like yours you'll fit in just nicely. so welcome to the madhouse.

the sv650 is a great bike and deserves a better title than 'first bike' status.

If you're a late starter what does that make me? Passed DAS last week at the spritely age of 38!! (Think there must be some mistake cos i only feel 19 :-))

Anyway, welcome! x
