There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Hello

Hi everyone, just thought I'd introduce myself and say hello to the SV650 bunch.

Not a huge amount to say really apart from being at last back on decent wheels.

Anyway, the new addition to the household turned up last Wednesday, a red K5. I rode it 20 miles home and it started to snow, I'm really lucky that way. Still running in, another 250 miles to go, service is early April, might have to move it forward.

Impressions of the bike:

Love it! the engine feels like its starting to free up a treat. Positives, incredibly light, usable low down engine power and sounds good on the throttle up. Thinking of a fruity exhaust already. Lots of other stuff so I'll not try and preach to the converted. Oh and both headlights work.

Downside, I got overtaken by another SV on the way home today and could not follow with the 5000 RPM running in ceiling. The silver pointy in Chippenham is probably already a member here also. An 03 plate if I remember correctly

OK, I can't spell or type really well so I guess I correct many spelling mistakes by bad typing.
