Re: Your SV successor!!
I've only just got the SV650 so I'm looking forward to a few years of ownership, in the meantime I'm saving up for my next bike (I don't do finance
 ) and I'm already tempted by the SV1000, RSV Mille would be very nice, my cousin's hubby has one, but I'm not too sure about commuting on an Aprillia - not sure how one would hold up to it

Re: Your SV successor!!
When I first got my bike I missed the SV, but now I don't think I would go back. However if one goes past the other way I love the noise and still think a pointy is a great looking bike. I loved mine.
One thing I really miss though is the amount of customisation you can do to the SV relatively cheaply and DIY........ |

Re: Your SV successor!!
I would love a VFR800 in white. with panniers and topbox, heated grips, scottoiler.
The plan is so good, im saving up to carry it through...although i might not get a white one. I want a VFR because I think for me it'll be the best bike. Comfortable for all-day riding two up, sporty enough for spirited riding, sounds awesome with LOUD exhausts, plenty of accesories, reliable. Not sured about the VTEC though, so I'll be trying to get a test ride on one soon The SV will stay....and become my project bike. I'm planning to graft on a GSXR front end (how original) and also I'll remove the top-box rack, I've see some pictures of curvys with CBR rear wheels, I might go for that too, it looks quite good. High level exhaust aswell. I would love a yamaha R1; reliable (see nick sanders), good intervals between valve clearence checks (24k miles), quite comfy for a sports bike, fast, looks great, handles great (apparently). But the insurance would kill me. |

Re: Your SV successor!!
My SV was nicked, recovered & written off (a few years ago now) and was replaced with a Speed Triple 1050.

Re: Your SV successor!!
Haven't really considered this yet... realistically probably a SS600, or a GSXR-750. However if money wasn't an issue... RSV4 or 848

Re: Your SV successor!!
Z750 ABS
 Tho not really a sucessor, as the SV is still in the garage awaiting the TLC it needs and deserves to get it on the road again

Re: Your SV successor!!
I can't decide between a hayabusa, a speed triple or a bandit 1250 GT.
The bandit is cheaper, the triple is sexier, and the busa is faster. Decisions decisions...
