SV upgrade to ..........ummm what ?
 
I was wondering what would be the next bike of choice for all you SV loving folks out there?

I like sports bikes, but dont fancy 600cc IL4's, i'm a huge fan of V-twins so i'm leaning towards an RSV 1000.

What are your opinions?

Here's a reminder as to what the main contenders look like. (You know what an SV looks like)

How long have you been riding? Many miles? All year round? etc

Vtwinlover 19-07-06 03:09 PM

Been riding for 8 years, 5 of which on SV's. Yep all year round and have probably covered over 50K miles on bikes.

Seconded.

I would have one if it wasn't for the fact that I need to take a pillion occasionally.

If you like bling and want the pose factor then go for the 999 - I think the mille is better VFM though.

Don't dismiss the SV1000 though - it is great value for the money and still bloody quick :wink:

Dont rule out GSXR-750. This years K6 has been getting some stonking reviews.

Saying that the RSV is a lovely bike. I narrowed it down to a choice of RSV, SV Thou or GSXR-750 I got a great deal on a K5 750 so thats what I went for.
