Unlikely to be a thou as the thou engine has stopped - No more SV thou, DL thou etc all thanks to the fookin tree huggers and the saving this environment crap

Or, because not enough people bought it The 650 motor didn't meet euro 3 either, so they changed it till it did, with the thou they didn't think it was worthwhile because it just wasn't selling enough. Can't blame the treehuggers for that.

Northy, stop trying to inject common sense into his irrational thought processes

You're right though. The Thou was never a big seller, despite fairly good reviews and a low price. I guess that the people who wanted a big v-twin were looking at Ducati and Aprilia, rather than Suzuki.

Hey there MadJohn, can you post some close up pics of the exhaust? and are you thinking that you'd change it sometime. I'm thinking of using it as a project to make something to look like the Buell's exhaust for my curvy.
