Hi there,
Just recently passed my bike test (33bhp Restricted) and have fallen in love with SVs. Currently bikeless but looking for the right one. Have had a great experience with owners' forums (for my car) before so looking forward to chatting to everyone. Probably going to be asking a lot of questions you've all heard before but hope I don't annoy you too much! Harry |

Hi Harry,
Welcome to the forum, you will like it here as we are a friendly bunch. Don't worry too much about your questions, I have asked many before you and only half of them were sensible... Have fun and try really hard to buy a nice SV, if in doubt, a pointy is the way to go. Curveys smell of imperial mints and cabbage, no idea why, they just do! Hugs, Jayne xxx |

Aye you'd better hope... if you do, then we'll send one of the forum deviants after you with a tub of KY ... or even without!

Ha ha! It's ok... I carry my own tube of KY with me at all times!
I'd love a pointy but i'm a student with a low budget. Luckily my Dad was a motorbike mechanic for about 20 years so he should be able to help me find a tidy one. I'm just playing the waiting game. For some reason he won't let me slap a restrictor kit on his ZX-12R.... |

Congratulations on passing the test and welcome to the forum. A good honest bunch on here with plenty of good advice so ask away.
As for the bikes; the SV is a superb first as mines my first bike and i love it and dont think i will ever get an IL4 as i like the power delivery and sound of the V-twin. There are some cheap pointys about at the minute mate, just look on here and ebay. Its a good time to buy with the credit crunch and all that jazz. Whats your budget? BTW Curvey Nakeds rule!

Hi Harry,
Don't listen to all these Johnny-come-lately pointy owners...........they know nothing! Curvy SV's are far superior, and faster too ![]() Welcome, and have fun ![]()
