Pointy/Curvy - what's the difference?
OK....Im new to the forum and I keep seeing Pointy and Curvy as adjectives.
Can anyone explain to me, in as simple terms as possible, what these terms define?? I own a 1999 SV so is it pointy or curvy (I know I'm curvy  p) Thanks Derek |

Re: Pointy Curvy????
Curvy.
Curvy and pointy refers to the shape of the bikes when they changed from carburettor fuel delivery to electric fuel injection. If you look at the top/front fairing, you can seen that the post k3 SVs have a pointy "nose" whereas yours will be curved. Last edited by jchu1988; 16-03-12 at 01:20 PM.
