Sleep on it mate. Have a read of todays posts over again in the morning when your not ****ed off and hopefully we'll see you back again tomorrow!

I thought you weren't blown away with the duke 'cos of the straight line acceleration, back brake, bad finish, etc. I wouldn't by a bike if I had those reservations.

Any biker is welcome on here regardless of what you ride. The other guys who've no longer got SV's will tell you that. I for one am only pulling your leg and I think everyones bored with CBR bashing now anyway.

Or the Suzuki finish jokes?? Noticed my forks starting to pit and rust just below the clip on's today and I'm not impressed! 9 months old! And it's not like it's been abandoned outside either. Sometimes goes a week without a clean 'cos I don't currently have an outside tap (the old one is now inside my new conservatory), but it's dry, garaged, cleaned properly at least once a week, and well WD40'd afterwards.

Is there any kind of anti-perforation warranty? I guess this need a new post doesn't it.

thought only women suffered from pms. this is a nice forum with everyone up for a laugh. loads of people have moved on from the SV where as others have kept theirs. i had mine 5 years and would still have it but i got the chance of a raptor and i cannot pass up on riding a bike that i can reach the ground on. everyone is different and tastes are different. comeon stuarty boy you are usually up for a laugh. chill mate

stuartyboy, not sure if we've met,- so I obviously don't have any axe to grind........I didn't know what you meant by that either.

I found like Northy that very tight turns would need a little clutch (feathering I think is the term) but 2nd gear max. Did you ever get the carbs synchronised?

The 748 felt as smooth as an IL4......WOW.........my 1000DS definitely doesn't.

Guys, I work with Stuart. Just to let you know, his Dad's seriously ill in hospital and he's got a lot on his mind. He's a genuinely decent guy so its a bit out of character if he's taking things to heart.

OK Mike, when he's on his feet tell him we'd like to see him back on the forum! Hope his Dad gets well soon.

Thanks for that- don't know if he's reading this at the moment, if not would you pass on our good wishes? Hope it works out.
