SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Newbie saying hello.

Been lurking on here for some time while deciding on my first "big" bike - just passed my DAS test. Only previous bike ownership was a battered old MZ125 10 years ago.
Was trying to resist the temptation to go for the first one I saw but anyway... Just been to see furrybean's SV and put down a deposit nice and shiny and wicked engine noise!! Hoping to get some good advice on here when I break something or for other stupid newbie bike questions. Also hoping to meet some of you and get some track days.

Had a look at your yellow curvy and was tempted I must admit but everybody knows black pointy ones are quicker.
