My new baby!!
 
Just thought I'd show off my new baby!

I collected her on Thursday afternoon but haven't had a chance to ride her properly yet!

I have only gone from the dealer's to Ian's (chutz) place and then back to the dealer again this morning! :evil:

As soon as I had stopped at Ian's, I noticed that there was loads of coolant pouring out from the breather pipes on the
left hand side of the bike. :cry:
So it's gone back already and they couldn't work out what the problem was so they've kept it and have loaned me
a nackered out old Bandit 1200...
Which is absolute agony for me to ride, as bizarrely, the upright bars hurt my (recently healed, broken) wrists,
whereas clipons don't! :shock:

Any way - the 30 miles I have ridden the bike, I absolutely loved!
It's just so stable & confidence inspiring and it's a bloomin' rocket ship!!! :D :D :D
I am in love once again! :lol: :lol: :lol:


With some fool on it!! :lol:

And just to embarrass Ian...

Hmmmm... It makes it really difficult to find bikes that I fit on though!
I wanted an RVF400 when I bought the SV but I was Waaaaaaaay too big for it, so the SV it was!! :lol:
Even most of the new crop of super sport 600s are too small for me!
I dwarf the R6, with my knees sticking out over the top of the tank and on the Gixxers, the fairing tries to kneecap me every time I sit on them!! :roll:

Same here with fitting on bikes.
The Huyabusa is a perfect fit, though.

sr 125 was a perfect fit for me :cry:
