YC's got a new bike - SV650.org

Don't panic, the SV is here to stay...

I was after another bike to be a bit better on juice and consumables than the SV, it needed to be small and light, possibly even of the muddy persuasion, cheap to insure, did I mention cheap? etc. So I got to looking at XLR250s, DR350s, even superdreams and other such plodders.

Then I bought this pristine, svelte example of lightweight precision engineering:
Can ya tell what it is yet?

P.S I know the morlock-esque underdwelling dinosaurs and super-geeks of infinite wisdom will get that in about 0.2s, leave off and let the young uns have a guess!!

Its an inline 4 cyclinder, would it be an early 70's Honda. Classic little number maybe ?

Kawasaki Zephyr?

Our vote is for either Yamaha or Suzuki.

Yammy XS or Suzi GSX?

Can't make up my mind, by the look of it it's either Massey Ferguson or John Deere...

Guessing there`s a word starting with "S" under your hand in the photo but not Suzuki
