What Do You Fancy For Your Next Bike ? - Page 10 - SV650.org

I know I'm odd but I don't like it.Slabsided ugly brute with design gimmicks for their own sake written all over it.I'll get me coat.

Probably an SV1000 - although people are trying to convince me otherwise. I like the SV a lot - the downers are unconvincing brakes, suspension a bit soggy - and a lack of top end, all of which I think are much better on the SV1000.

I'm just looking for a test ride to check that I will like it as much as I hope.

I want another SV, preferably an S type one, since I wrote my last one off

Anyone wanna help me out? lol

undecided at the moment. currently trying to lose 2 and half stone ! i said to other half that i need some kind of incentive at the end, she says "why dont you get another bike?"

i think it was sarcastic

but........... i am keeping both my sv's but will be getting a decent set of lightweight wheels for the k4! i'll be keeping my ktm 250 exc (got a 350 hop up kit sat in garage) i'm keeping the hayabusa as i've spent way too much money on it (just fitted a set of dymags!) though i am seriously considering taking it to tts to be supercharged in another year and a half (once its 3 yrs old) so that leaves the transalp??? which if all goes to plan will be part ex'd against (for my 40th birthday in 4 yrs) either a harley springer( I know,I know!!!!) , a triumph rocket or a suzuki B-king!

Going to keep the SV for another year and then get a GSXR750.

The new Triumph 675!!!! My Bike mag arrived this morning and they've dedicated a whole supplement to it as they think it's so amazing.

Looks phenomenal.

For those lacking Bike mags,

may loose all that plastic.. mmmmmmh.. that would be nice.. its a triple engine too is it not?

northwind · 12-09-05, 02:28 PM

Yup... 123bhp claimed, 53lb/ft of torque (apparently makes more at 4000rpm than any other SS600 makes at peak) 165kg dry weight...

It looks pretty ugly with the plastic off... Not an engine that benefits from being visible I have to say. I don't see a mini speed triple onthe cards, myself. Also, only 1000 for the UK in the first year!
