Newbie! - SV650.org

Not sure if this is the right place for a first post but here goes anyway.

My little gixer 400 has been awarded the status of "long term restoration project" and is now sitting on paddock stands in my garage awaiting attention. I need a bike again so after a good look around and a bit of a think I've just bought a fully faired SV650S 2000 model in pretty reasonable condition. It has the inevitable crack in the fairing where it's toppled over at some point and landed on the indicator but aside from that is looking pretty good with just 19000 on the clock.
It looks to be just what I need for a spot of European and GB touring, weekend rides and as a commuter for getting back and forth to uni when I start my IT degree later this year.

I'm off to collect it on Wednesday so I'll post some pics up when I get it. I shall undoubtedly have questions about it once I've got it back home so hopefully some of you good people on here will have some answers for me.

In the meantime I look forward to getting to know you all.

Gary.

Welcome to the Org. You'll like it here, the residents are strange but it's warm and dry. Looking forward to seeing the pics!

Thanks for the welcome people. A quick question - I'm trying to upload a profile pic 300x300 pixel jpeg but it won't have it. Do I have to wait till I have a certain number of posts or something?

Hi Gary, welcome to the site. You have bought a curvy, which was a wise move.

To impress us even further with your taste, you can inform us that it is the fastest colour too. Candy Grand Blue

You might want to check out your local group too.

Hi Pete, not sure what Candy Grand Blue is but it's certainly blue!

Welcome to the Org. Your profile pic might be too big, I had trouble getting mine on. Good choice of bike.

This is CGB. If yours is a 2000 model then it almost certainly is.
