Got another bike instead.

+1 for the dark gray. I like aesthetics of slate coloured bikes almost as much as black, plus I think it makes the bike look (physically) very light.

Both would look so much better if they had silver frame and wheels.
I hope they re-introduce it in 2009.

So has the black one grey wheels and the grey one black wheels.Think thats the wrong way round for starters.So is the blue and white one's not coming to the UK.Where are they for the U.S? Other than the seat and wheels is that it!

That red seat doesn't get better Where's photoshop?!!

Still, "things" sometimes look a lot better in the flesh than on the page (or internet).........so I will hold off final judgement until delivery. But a new seat is easy enough to sort.

I luv black bikes and the dark grey wheels look good to me (kinda like me old EXUP).

Their is a (silver) 2007 (?) fully faired SV 650 that parks near me, was having another close looksee recently and love how narrow it is - without being 125cc sized. Grrrrrrreat for filtering / lane splitting

Upside down forks? Suspension Mods? Not for me, if I wanted "Better" bits like this I would have bought a bike with better OE stuff.

I am hoping that 70hp / 120mph will keep me busy enuf - I am kinda taking on faith (& 2nd hand reports) that the SV650 is a well enuf balanced package straight from the crate to be able to go as fast as I am comfortable with - without always feeling (being tempted?!) the need to travel at Mach 2 ("I'm a Plane, I'm a Train..........I'm a Rocket to the Moon" )....................from past experiances the limiting factor on bikes used on the road is often "How much of a tw#t one wants to be" rather than the bike's inherent limitations - want to go quicker? use the throttle more and take more risks
