Well i have been wanting to get a new bike for a little while, i was going to wait till next spring. But with nearly £2K off list, no mods for the 2008 model i thought it was a bargin too hard to resist.

Oh and the big selling point for me was the Looks, IMO it is the best looking SS600 out there, especially in Black.

I have not heard of a bad review on it either which helped.

So the two biggest influences were its looks and the great deal i got. Still cant belive i got £2K for mine!!!

It is sooooooooo light compared to the SV, you dont even notice its there LOL , and the seat although hard spreads the weight well so seems comfy enough. I was surprised the bars are not much lowere than the SV's

Pics will be posted on friday peeps, i cant wait!! oh and it only cost me an extra £150 a year insurance to keep it fully comp! .

I am like the cat who got the cream at the moment.

The only thing i really will miss from the SV is the sound of the exhaust no mater what anyone says a IL4 just can not compete with a V-twin.

Nice one

Alarms are just for reducing insurance premiums, they're a pain in the bum otherwise, but the ones with pagers in seem to be a much better idea, don't know if that's an option for you?

That cool mate. I got one of these too. Ab absolute steal at just over £2000 off book price.

Only had mine for just over a week now and it's already due its first service - just can't resist going out on it all the time.

See http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm for breaking in ideas. That's what I'm trying.

Ride safe mate - the tyres are effing slippery when new.

Enjoy!

Its Arived!!! yes, and it is great.

I love it, its so light compared to the SV, and you notice the more expensive suspension and brakes as well.

unfortunatly i am limited to about 4000RPM for the first 100 miles then 6000 till 600 so ill be out and about to try and rack up the miles ASAP.

its the little gadgets that amuse me the most like the shift up light and the lap timer!!
