well it does have hydraulic brakes like a motorbike.

And I swear more when trying to bleed these compared to the road bike

Nice. I find it hard to explain to anyone why my mountain bikes cost so much more than my current and most of my past motorbikes. Must have my priorities all wrong.

Very nice! YT 650B Sounds like it should be a motorbike.

I'd be really interested in finding out how to carry a mtb on an SV.

Hmmmm.... Interesting!
I had thought I'd need a big topbox for helmet and clothing.

Yeah, I've seen pics of a couple of bike n bike set ups like that. Nice idea, but wandering if it is like taking a mountain bike into wales on the back of a Z4. Seems like a good idea, but so unbalanced that you tip toe around so much that you might as well be driving a vauxhall meriva.
