Default Forget the DL V-strom, dual sported curveys

I don't care for the curvey, but look at these beauties. Beats the strom anyday, I reckon. The motard is fantastic. Probably doesnt make real sense money wise, but who cares about 'Why?'

Remember this one



Here's another



And absolutely superb IMO

I saw Randy O mention that his naked SV worked better as a dual sport than his new DL1000 Though I forget why.

Can't see the last pic, but one of the guys up here has an ace supermoto-ish SV, I used to see it thrashing about as I waited for the bus home... But I've not seen him post for ages.

That black framed curvey is one of my favourite modded bikes of all time.

Funny, I don't like the black one at all... Horrible stance, the rear's far too low so it just looks a bit daft. It's beautiful work, excellent attention to detail and all, just htat it'd be so much nicer with a standard front end on it IMO. It'd probably work better on the road as well. Forks look too raked out too, for hte same reason.

I do like the classic SV dirt bike in the top pic though. Nothing like as pretty but it works.
