But why?

You could easily end up with a bike that handles just as well as a sports bike for less money.

I guess its also no coincidence that you two, seem to be the biggest 'mod'ers'.

Each to their own i guess and what you do with your hard earned is up to you, but IMO its madness to spend serious wonga on a budget bike. When i had my SV i totted up the cost of making the changes i wanted and i laughed.

I guess im still not going full out on my R6. I have R&G's,yoshi carbon trc,tail tidy,db screen and a few others things. I considered a full system, but it didnt seem worth it. I'll get one when i get a litre bike somewhere down the line.

Have you not considered that maybe some of us like our SV, aren't one of the 'ooh, I must get a new bike cos I've had this a year' brigade, and actually plan to keep it?

We've spent a fortune on ours, and if you consider that makes us fools.............well, you know what, I don't give a sh*t

Nah, haven't ruffled any feathers here and completely off centre with the Napoleon comment. It's more a case of you missing the point as Northwind said

You'll get a full system once you get a liter bike eh? What if the litre bike actually costs less than your R6? The bits you mentioned surely have set you back an ickle % of the cost of your bike? Myself , I'd say the money spent on those would probably have been better spent on the bouncy bits......

As has been said, it's not always a "numbers" game

I used to have a spade, but I replaced the handle with the handle off a more expensive model and now it doesn't work.

By the way, anyone thinking about "spending a fortune"- shocks don't sudden;y become worthless as soon as you fit them, they keep their value really well. I reckon I could sell my Ohlins for exactly what I paid for it, 3 years ago. If you buy new then you do take a hit there, but you'll still get half of your money back on a good shock, most of the time.

Depends if you've just bashed someone's head in with it................then it's a bloody spade

Anyway, stop making me derail this thread!
