Lj, northy could save you a right sack of dosh here

Ah, thats ok then, you have a good idea of what to expect when you come to ride your bike legally then...I found it a bit daunting at first, because of the weight

SV650 and weight?

God know what youll think on a bigger bike

Sorry to hear about the Engine.

A lot of people are speculating what it could be, well tbh we can pretty much guess and tell you how to check. Let us know what the outcome is as soon as you know mate, looks like there is money/childrens tears riding on it
