'Cos there is a perception it's bigger and more comfortable, so they charge you more and rip you off.

Same as car rental companies, ask for a mid sized car and you might get a mid range Golf diesel worth 16 grand. Ask the same company for a big car you'll probably get a base spec petrol Vectra worth 14 grand. Guess which one will be more expensive?

I love the SV, but most of my riding is commuting work and I want to do a few long rides this year (probably 2 up), and the position of the SVS is OK, but not ideal IMO for town work, or long journeys ....

Looking at the competition its very good value, the twin is economical and characterful, and its got some sort of (admitedly small) fairing (the Gladius was any option, but looks a bit camp, and has no fairing) ...

Not sure about the orange or green .... but Lozzo's in black looks great ....

You ??
