New to biking!!
 
Hi all,
I'm new to biking and have just purchased a Silver SV650s on and 03 plate!!!

THIS BIKE IS THE ABSOLUTE NUTS!!!! :lol:

I grinned all the way home from picking it up (once I stopped shaking) and was sad to have to cover it up!!!!

If anyone has any advice tips or anything else regarding this bike I would really appreciate it.

Also does anyone happen to know any of the following:

1. 0-60mph time?
2. Top speed?
3. Roughly how many miles a full tank will get me?

Thanks,

Kev

Hey Kev

Some sensible answers for ya :)

1) Fast enough - reason for this answer is it varies by rider - and is a useless bit of info anyway

2) 135 mph I believe - and is comfortable at 99 (and a bit higher :P)

3) I get about 100 to the warning light in London commuting and it takes about £10 to fill from there. Did a lot of running around in non-London this week and got 120miles from each tankful

Also as you are in Dartford, get yourself down to the SELKENT meet a week on Wednesday, or into Soho next Friday :)

Additional sensible answers

1) 4.15 secs but you will have fallen off before then...

2) Agreed

3) My naked got about 48mpg

Blue or black is the correct colour for a bike...

Welcome

1) Yep around 4 secs, the K6 in last month's Bike did 4.35s

2) Saw an indicated 140mph on my K5 (test track officer 8-[ )

3) 180 miles is the most I got out of a tank and that was running on fumes, 100 - 140 miles til reserve light comes on normally

Get a fender extender for the bike if it doesn't already have one as riding in heavy rain might cause the common problem of the front cylinder cutting out.

krhall 12-11-06 07:19 PM
Thanks for all the replies! :D

and what's wrong with Silver? :?

SELKENT Meeting, can you give me some more info?

and what is a fender extender?

Kev
