SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Hello

Hi thought i would say hello, just got myself an SV after having my CBR written off. It's my first V Twin so looking forward to it though massively different to ride compared to the CBR. First impressions are good though the brakes could be better!

Welcome, and congrats on the new bike.

Next to the CBR an SV will always lose out in purely performance terms, the numbers don't lie. But as many people have found the SV is definitely more than a sum of its parts. I'm sure your new bike will make its mark upon you soon enough.
