you'll most likely find pointy S takes off better. A friend of mine rode Suzy a few weeks back, used to have a nakid pointy and said she did feel sluggish in comparison to his, but thats the fuel injection AFAIK.
You'll get used to it soon enough...it works for starters Its not as if you;ve just bought a cruiser...now they do handle badly!

oh yes, an S has a turning circle of a bus, but you'll find the knack eventually.

Oi, the curvy works fine! That bikes awesome, I only complained about it because I like a good moan. Really gonna miss it. I didn't realise how well I'd got to know it til I tried another bike. I'm dead scared I'm going to want it back once I've sold it! ****ed off I'd just fully serviced it and fitted new avon storms and new DID chain (gold,xring) and sprockets too

I just hope the f.i doesn't break! I 'get' carbs

Just try not to loose bits of the EFI this time

Mr hypocritical

By coincidence that nut finally arrived from honda today!

I'm not hypocritical - nothing ever went wrong with it on my bikes, because I knew to leave it alone

Aye, I really do. It was the high level exhaust that did it I always said I'd never buy a SV without a high level exhaust or if I did I'd swap my leovinci system over. (I'm still tempted!). But no; I just saw the bike and wanted it.
If you have any other pictures I wouldn't mind them if you have a min to pm me them

How did you find the front suspension by the way? Did you just get used to it? I've had a few wibble wobbles/dips on corners and it threw a bit of a wobbler hitting a pot hole on a corner, just wondered if it's something you get used to. Seems to take the urgency from the brakes too actually.
