My treachery - SV650.org

18-07-10, 07:38 AM

After all my SVs hard work taking me to work and around scotland I did the ultimate betrayal and bought.... an inline 4 sportsbike...
The sv now does not ride in the rain, i know it's a coincidence but still quite freaky!
Day I bought my new bike a YZF750R the SV keeps dropping a cylinder in the wet?

I am keeping the sv as despite it's tantrum it is an amazing bike and I have a lot of memories with her, it's not costing me anything to keep as I'm going to let my dad have her so if I want to ride her I can etc.

Ps: the TL is my OH's which he acutally let me ride yesterday.
We did have to take the seat off so I could even touch the floor which resulted in me looking like I was riding a sports cross cruiser as my knees were what felt like by my ears but my hands were stretched up to reach the bars!
Terrifying to ride mind you.

Anyway here's pics of my new bike
