Default bought this today

so, sv650 life is over, time to move on, and bought this, bit older than the sv `97 plate, but wanted one for a while, and im very pleased with it.

for a paralell it rides and sounds like a v, bit more oomph than the sv, and bit more comfy too. rode 100 miles home and didnt really get uncomfy until nearly home.

That looks pretty, with a nice can they sound jolly nice too. A lad here had one for a while, I heard it start every morning and it was always so nice, until the old lady next door ran it over while parking her Micra. She gave up her license following that one.

Good find

Sweet. It's a bike I've always wanted, rare old beast these days, especially in that condition. Enjoy

Nice. I nearly bought one last year - it was considerably rougher than that one looks.

according to the how many left website, there under 160 left on the road now!

both the standard cans must weigh a ton though, in time Id like some aftermarket jobbies , but its pretty much standard, something I dont want to ruin.
