Agreed.

Pointy or Curvy? Easy to tell.

If it runs on one cylinder in the rain, ticks like a maniacal clock, the suspension makes a "clonk" sound and the reg/rec has failed, then you've definitely got an SV.

If your swingarm is wobbly and the main connector for the ignition corrodes to the point of failure, it's a pointy.

If the choke is stuck on and your clutch cover leaks, you've got a curvy.

HTH
