The SV is 10! - SV650.org

07-09-09, 10:22 PM

I've just had a thought- the SV650, beloved of (most of!) our .org, is 10 years old this year.

And I barely remember seeing a mention of this. An whole decade of a rather lovely bike.

Now- there's been AR09, but surely this calls for a celebration of some sorts?

I doubt Suzuki have an anniversary model in the plans this late into the year...!

just over ten now, pretty sure they were released early 1999

They were- I thought there was a birthday cake featured on the front of the site mainpage (for the observant ones

) in honour of it's tenth.

Was the cake nice?

Happy dayz

That's interesting- is that for bikes over 10 then? I could get a treat in December if that's the case...

Pretty sure. Read it in some guff somewhere. I'll know when it comes up for renewal next year.
Pretty sure the old bikes the ex had were under classic with them, which were all over 10.

Same here this year!! Modern Classic I think they call it?

Bleedin marvellous is what I call it!

I look forward to a generous shaving off the premium then. Hopefully, that means I'll be able to insure the bike, get the shocks upgraded and still have some cash to spend on myself! (my office Christmas Club savings will be in my wages at the end of Nov).
