Default Re: sv1000s 53plate for sale

If it's anything like what happened to me when I did exactly the same swap then the process goes.....

1. Arrrrrgggghhhhhhhhh. Blimey that's a lot of power. Surely that speedo is in KPH I can't possibly be going that quick. What's that clonk each time I change gear (that'll be the front wheel landing). How come I need to fill it up with petrol again already.

2. WooooHoooo. Got used to actually using the power and occasionally get it to under three figures. And get more than 50 miles to a tank. Learn a little restraint on the right grip.

3. Booo. Does not go around corners as well as my old trusty 650. I really miss my 650 perhpas I'll sell the 1000 and keep the 650

4. Deep joy. Learned to go round corners on the new bike. Blimey it's so much more planted than the 650. For sale 1x650.

5. I wish it was curvy and had better under seat storage but hey it goes like a train and I love it.

Well that was my experience. Be interested to see how you get on too.
Hastings direct for some reason seem to be about half the insurance for the thou than most others with all other attributes (age, location etc) being the same.

Enjoy....
