how about upgrading the bouncy bits as this turns a good bike into a cracking bike. personally i think the only thing that lets the SV down is the dodgy suspension and the gawd damned awful seat.

there is no point in doing just the one as it then upsets the other end.

nice Nitron shocky and a set of linear springs to match your weight. there is no need to go cartridge if you don't need it and i would say it only adds the 10% that's missing for outright control. yes £500 sounds like a hell of a lot of money to throw at a supposed 'girls bike' till you have done it.

i personally don't buy into this must have sports bike magazine hype that is designed to part you with your hard earned.

When you attended the bbq. I thought how nice you had modded it.plus the exhust sounded ace.
You went round the corners fine. So uping the suspensions not a big need.
Every bike anyone owns can allways do with fetting.
But sometimes its an itch that needs scratching

Thanks NTECUK. You are right about the itch though.

I think you already know my opinion on your bike however I'd suggest test riding some others if you're seriously considering a change before selling up and diving head first into the bike market.
