Yeah, the SV is definitely a big girl's bike. Your workmates are right. Sell the SV and buy a Harley, that's a man's motorcycle.

The Sun can't report real news, what the hell does it know about bikes.

How gives a toss what the Sun says?

The SV is a great bike, you'll love it. Are your workmates all car drivers?

They won't think it's girly when you fly past them!

(P.S. I bought mine from a girl!!!)

The Sun & MCN say opposite things huh (haven't read either article). Now, what's the odds on that?

Is the SV a girly bike? I suppose it is, looks good, sounds great when you give it... erm... u-rating, can't say that.

Is it girly when you delicately and precisely leave bigger & faster bikes way behind in the twisties? Yup, suppose so.

If the SV is a woman, I have no problem with being on top, you should ask your work mates why they want to ride a bloke!

Either the SV forum is a strange entity where men chat more than women,OR in fact, the majority here are men.

I'm a bloke. I love the bike. nuff said!

Besides SV has many claims to fame, everyone i know calls it the 'wheelie machine' because its easy to wheelie apptly.
