Hi, as a long time Kwak fan, I have just got me an SV, yeah, the curvy (ugly?) one, off a mate at work, who has TWO GS850's (one with a tow ball??) and a Kwak Z250 in his garage!
It's in a rather fetching Metallic lime green (yeah, I know!) but is a Triumph colour, Roulette Green! Have to say, I like it! OK, me last bike was a ZRX1200S which I miss dearly, but I am really chuffed with the SV! It's fast enough, a LOT nimbler round the bends and has a lovely V-Twin sound over 5,000 RPM! Vermin, me 17 yr old daughter is happy on the back as well, so all good etc! Come the winter, I will need a pair of front brake discs, pads, might as well powder coat the wheels and fit progressive fork springs/new oil.. and fertle about with the cosmetics, but I'm not into the 'fashion show' side of biking, I just like to ride a bike for me! Ok, that's me lot.. If I can figure out how/be bothered to post pics I will , in the meantime I'll just welcome meself to the site etc.. Thanks to all who offer good advice and have a great rest of the riding season! |

Welcome to the might .org
There is a very large number of people who know a ridiculous amount about bikes, so you'll find everything you need on hee somewhere, and plenty to keep you occupied in general ![]() Prepare to progressively spend more and more of your time on this site ![]() |
