New SV Owner, with fingers crossed!

Hi all,

Just thought I'd say and introduce myself.

I passed my CBT in September 06 and bought myself a Varadero 125, which I kept until about a month a sold on to help finance my Direct Access.

I have been busy doing alot of research into good first big bikes and that is what lead me to this forum and the SV650!

I have my Direct Access course and test this week (Wed-Fri) and I had almost decided upon not getting a bike. (I dont need it for commuting, and it would only end up being for some fair weather fun.)

However.....

Whilst quietly lurking on the forum over the past week, I came across Bluetos SV for sale, and well, I just couldn't resist!!

The bike is, in no other words... immaculate! It was just what I was looking for! So after meeting up on Thursday and agreeing a sale, Blueto (really sound guy!) was kind enough to deliver the bike to me early Saturday morning... and here she is...



Isn't she lovely!!



I have spent the weekend showing her off to friends and family when they have been round, and I cannot wait to take her out for the first time!


This is going to be the longest week of my life waiting till my test on Friday but I am really looking forward to the DA course and getting in some good learning. I feel somewhat confident about the test, mainly due to my 20 months on the road on my 125, and I'm sure that if I fail it will be down to some stupid mistake. I am hoping that the SV sat in the garage will be even more incentive to ride well and get through the test in one piece!

I have just recieved in the post today some 2 piece RST Rift Leathers, (which I have a question about here http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.p...22#post1539622) and I have some Puma 800 boots on there way, so I'm pretty much set.

With a bit of luck, and some sensible riding I should be enjoying the road on the SV by the end of the week, hopefully I'll see you out there!!

Welcome to the madhouse, now you just need to learn how to properly use the blurring thingy on photoshop

Welcome and good luck.

Well we might be, but if there's no petrol in Dorset, it'll be a big push .

Good luck, good looking bike...SHINEY!!
