hmmmmmm....some fantastic replies there so thank you very much...
With regards to the restrictor and taking it off...As funny as it may be and as much kudos and you might get "down the pub" i find it fairly irresponsible to ride anything for atleast the first 12 months with full power. I have been riding bikes for a while... pretty much since i was 9 and have driven my next door neighbours BSB Ducati road bike.... but riding on the track and riding on the road are two different ball games altogether. But thank you all for the response for this. I just wanted to know because i plan t keep this bike whilst at uni, so in the 2nd year i can have it cheaply removed (replaced in the case of the ecu)
Leather and equipment -
My next door neighbour with the ducati rides for them in the BSB, so I can get all top gear for cut down price (sounds like del boy lol), so thats not a massive problem. I recently bought a new lid that is of a good quality....ive got PLENTY of gloves, its just boots and leathers ill need.
Insurance -
The quotes ive been getting are around the 750-800 mark, thats why im so attracted to biking! How much are alarms for SV? I would get one fitted asap but im not sure where to look
And finally....i know this is very cheeky, but is there any chance anyone could look round on the net in places where they know decent bikes are sold and post some links up here for recommended SV650's that are up for sale. Thing is i don't really know what im looking for. Ive seen this one
CLICK!! (the 2nd one on there) and it looks fairly tidy but im not sure. I think i prefer the newer shape, just because the styling looks a bit sharpers
