Classic SV650?
Do you guys think the SV will ever be desirable as a classic?
In 30-40 years time (if there is any petrol) do you think we will be hunting out barn-stored SVs to restore to try and relive our lost youth? |

I've got a 2000 classic motorcycle mechanics mag and they reckoned back then it'd be a future classic. Just lose the purple anodised bits...

I dare say it will be hailed as a future classic but you'll be hard pressed to find a mint one that isnt brwon and furry

I agree with Halonic. It's such a popular bike, with unique attributes (good and quirky) that I'm pretty sure in 20 years time I would want one... well I'm planning to keep mine but you know what I mean!
