Not much But mainly it's that cover that's worth having for a heavily modified SV is hard to find. Only Carole Nash offered me an agreed value, loads of places do that for classics but not for newer bikes. I could insure it for far less, but that'd just cover the bassic bike, not the mods... And building another like mine'd set me back something like twice the cost of the bike itself, so it'd be a pretty poor option.

Which is, of course, The Yamaha FireMonkey

Well, of course you've not heard of it, it's a secret...

I dont like the look of the current SpeedTriple liked the old shape though, its not really sporting enough. Yeah thought about the Daytona but, if i was to get one of those i'd want to wait for them to update to 675 styling, that would be cool.
