Hi there beabert, thats a very interesting comment. I think I could be, too. I've always had that in the back of my mind.
I appreciate your honesty.

Peace,
Darren

Nah if you're comfy on it, it be right. You look less daft than all the born agains squashing their beer guts over the entire fuel tank of R6s and stuff!

Hey if Bear can ride round on an SV anyone can. He made the SV look like a little boys push bike. I wouldn't want to pay more than a grand on it. But wouldn't complain if I had to go very close to that price.

Messr's STIG, YC & THESHED.

Thank you all for your candid and brutal honest advice.

I'm hoping a small bunch of flowers from the BP garage round the corner, and a splash of Hai Karate should seal the deal.

Peace and respect to you all.

Darren

I apologise, it came across badly. Ive always seen the SV as a girly bike, i picked it because of my small frame, i dont feel confident on anything heavier.

I think you would suit a bigger machine because of your larger frame.

It'll be due it's big service in 2k, which I'd factor in to it. Sure, not a big job if you're doing it yourself, but certainly an opportunity for a rip-off with labour charges with clearances needing doing, if you don't have a trustworthy garage around.

Beabert - no offence taken whatsoever, my friend.

Maviczap - I think you're right. Still, hope springs eternal.

Boot - a very good point - many thanks.

Thank you all once again.
Legends, one and all.

Peace.

Darren
