He's slagging them off because he doesn't like them, it's nothing personal

<shrugs>

I thought the whole point of forums such as this was to get other people's opinions and views before letting yourself in for something you'll regret.

My opinions have been gained over 30 years of riding, owning and spannering all manner of motorcycles, you may not like them but I'll express them anyway - I see it as a valuable service to society. If someone saves themselves grief and money from not buying something that is crap, then my work here is done.

TBH if I was a dealer I wouldn't fill floor space with an SV-N just now either, they never sold well even when the SV was in a market of one.

I do happen to own my harley yes, but I ride it as well. Have done 12000 miles in 1.5 yr and commute 20 miles a day.

Surprise hey.

Sorry to disappoint you that i don't fit into your stereo-typical category of a harley rider.

Now back to SVs as I can't do with anymore of this non-sense.

Plenty of friendly people on here.
