Curvy vs Pointy
I'm gonna be buying my first SV next year, but I have no idea which one to go for?? So my question is what are the differences between curvy and pointy SV's?
Is there a big difference in how they feel to ride or the handling and power delivery etc? Decisions decisions

Re: Curvy vs Pointy
Curvies!
Far superior handling, motors are similar.

Re: Curvy vs Pointy
Go for age and mileage, if you are tall go for the pointy as it's slightly bigger. Best to test ride and see what you like. I tried both, hated the curvey (too cramped) and really like my Pointy (but still on the small side for me). Totally different riding position too.

Re: Curvy vs Pointy
You can't get a new curvey.
But they are supposed to handle better. Love mine as it looks a bit retro like the TL1000 s

Re: Curvy vs Pointy
I'd rather have a pointy cos I likes Fi and stuff but think they lost something in the looks dept when they made the pointy. Curvy is a much better looking bike. The pointy looks like Kryten from Red Dwarf!
