What Bike to Buy next... - Page 2 - SV650.org

L3nny · 23-06-13, 05:57 PM

Had a VFR for about a year now and put about 7k on it. It's pretty heavy for its size and although it's still way quicker than you could ever safely go on the road it does sometimes feel a little under powered but only when you fancy a bit of crazy rip your arms off power.
The luggage is excellent, you can fit a huge amount of stuff in there and it is completely water tight.
Compared to my gsxr it feels like a sofa but you can still chuck it about and I have no problem getting my knee down on roundabouts.
Only downside which isn't really a downside at all is its so easy to ride and predictable you sometimes ride faster than you think you're going.

I am still considering swapping it for another 1000cc sport bike simply because I miss being able to scare myself silly every now and again.

If you're serious about getting one I might be persuaded to sell you mine. It's a 2009, about the same mileage as that and has a Scorpion exhaust and I'd let it go for the same bass what that's up for

Do you take any notice of what anyones criteria are for their new bike? Find me a 1200gs for under 2k that is in fairly decent nick and I will be impressed.
