There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

My advice,
1: Get a cheap curvy you won't mind bending a bit
2: Make sure your insurance company is reasonable about 33bhp "certificates" before you start the policy
3: Ride fast on nadgery B roads. Any fackin pussy can open throttle in a straight line.
What have you done with the REAL yorkie_chris?

Thats a number of posts today where we have been in agreement.

When will normal service be resumed?

What's that for, TPFT?

Doesn't seem overly bad.

the earlier SV had a curvier front end and fairing = Curvy
the later SV had a pointy front end and fairing = Pointy
The change happened in 2003, it also went fuel injected and the frame shape changed that year
