GPS---ride about in the country see a nice road or wonder where that road goes just do it. At the end of the day press "Home"
IMHO the best invention for exploring hassle free especially if in unfamiliar territory

My computer. I get the answers I need much faster, have been able to find and download the SV650 service manual, and read about others tips and tricks, solving similar problems.

So far as tools are concerned, thought. The carb balancer that I used on my R100S. Made tune ups a cinch.

Ultimate Hearing earplugs

Not cheap, but the Daytona screen is useless - directs air straight at my chin when riding normally

Plugs in = whisper quiet up into triple figure speeds, but exhaust still sounds good...
