I know its off topic, but with regard to the above.
Its looks grow on you, I hated it when it first came out, but ever since Liz got her 749 the looks have been growing and growing on me. Now the design has aged a bit against some of the latest bikes the 749 is a handsome beast.
Its also IMHO what some people on this forum keep calling for. i.e. a sporty SV with more power, better brakes and suspension.
I know you are all gonna go on me about purchase prices and running costs, servicing et all and yes I agree its something to consider, but you can say that about any bike, but I' also say talk to owners and make your own mind up than basing your opinions on what your mate told you based on what he read on an internet forum...
