SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Buy a cheap old banger for starters,ride it, drop it and make all your mistakes on it.Wont cost you a fortune,then get a nice shiny one in about a year and look after it.

You're all wrong. What the guy needs is an '03 Honda Hornet in blue, 14k miles, recently serviced and MOTed, vgc, going for about £1650

More powerful, faster and better-built than any SV650
