Thats nice to hear. The front has an Avon Viper Sport on with good tread, and the rear is a Dunalop Sportsmax.

Bike looks nice. If the front has a Viper Sport in good nick, get one fitted on the back. Enjoy your bike while the decent weather holds out.

I didn't see a thing!

Tis a nice bike actually and the first time I have seen a curvey up close. Love the dials on it.

Take it easy and get used to the power mate.......you'll love it.

So how much did J&S skin you for and what did ya buy?

Lol. A little dented pride ...but getting used to it now, and loving every minute pulling away from red lights

Paid a score for the charger/optimiser mate...and now the battery is up to a full 14volts, so I'm hoping the cutting out issue will not happen again.

Welcome to club SV The lad who came and bought my SV dropped it on my drive too. Luckily for him I had fitted R&G's so no damage. It happens to us all at some point son don't stress about it. Just try not to do it when you are going fast

aye, don't worry about droppin it. I didn't drop mine on the owners drive, as it belonged to my bloke, she went straight in a van to be repaired and get going. Oh how he laughed when I'd spent a small fortune in the mechanics on servicing, and on my first outing on my own, found a big pothole for my foot to land in on an unadopted road. I left an ever present scar right up the fairing, a constant reminder not to look down negotiating lots of potholes at slow speeds!
