Hello from an SV convert. - SV650.org

27-10-11, 05:27 PM

Hi, my name is Belinda and I've finally bought my first big bike after years of riding smaller trail bikes - most recently a 1980 Yamaha XT250 .

I was incredibly lucky to get an immaculate K3 SV650s Crescent from an aircraft engineer in Portsmouth, whose garage looked like Ikea, so - as you can see below - the bike is in amazing condition. (Hope I can work out how to post a pic!)

Have had to invest in all lowering equipment available, but can finally touch the ground

, and am looking forward to being able to keep up with my boyfriend on his VTR Firestorm. Next year I'd like to get a better-sounding can on this, but for now I'm overwhelmed by the experience of having a bigger bike to ride, and want to take things slowly.

See you all around.

Hello & welcome

Don't worry about keeping up with you boyfriend as you'll pass him at the petrol station, because he'll be busy filling up all the time

Nice looking bike there, go easy with it at first and enjoy its grunt

Hi guys

LOL Maviczap - the first thing I bought was a lower seat. The second was a hand siphon to keep under the seat for when he needs to 'borrow' petrol from me!

That might be quite often, I averaged 62.5 mpg from my SV and didnt always ride like a saint

hello & enjoy riding your SV. I only started to ride about 2 months ago (I've got an older model) and love it to bits. Never really thought the bike is to big.
Ps. really nice and clean looking bike
