Was the perfect tool for my 12 mile commute, but since I've moved six months ago not found a use for it. Perfect for larking around, rubbish for a ride out. Mines been idle on its optimate for months now. |

Re: New toy............
Was a toss-up between an SV650S and DRZ-SM for a year round commuter/2nd bike a coupla years ago now. They had been out a few months.
Went SV for various reasons, but the DR has a solid rep and the SM is pretty trick (like plenty of suspension adjustment), and even cheaper to run. Lovely bike. A feckin razor to sit on. Needs a pipe (or an Akra system and a big carb  ) and some hanguards.Yellow or black? Why the change? Am just down the road from Jim so 2nd on?

Re: New toy............
stramasher, as of saturday, was trading in the SV, had signed up etc but was in the garage on sunday and thought, what the **** am a doin here as I would be left with no sportsbike and a wee yam TW125 still sitting there.
the SV is too much fun to part with, dont know what I was thinkin about ! phoned on monday, took the wee yam in and got a really good px on it instead (its 2 and half years old with 962 miles and absolutely spotless), it will be a good bike for someone was really surprised with MOM as their prices were really keen, they beat the asss off Cupar with their PX prices although cupar was a wee bit cheaper on the DRZ retail - will be easier to get to glasgow since I work there anyway Also, got the impression (twice in the past week) that when talking to Cupar, they were not too interested anyway. Thats the 3rd time I have tried to deal with MOM in the past two years so really glad I went in to see them ............................................. ............................................. Oh aye, its a black one And Jim, nae bother, will let you know when I pick it up (should be saturday) got me insurance through - 91 quid fully comp for a year heh heh heh . . .

Re: New toy............
i want a shot... I know someone has put a Yoshi end can and race cams on his and he uses it more than his big bike... then again Laurie's mental he got rid of his KTM 950 SM
for a GSX-R1000 and one of those... He says he hardly uses the K7 and is always out on the DR-Z... Can you bring it to the dukes pass so i can have a play on it???
