There are Spies Amongst Us!

Had a SVsk3 from brand new in 2003. It was 2 1/2 years old when it blew up on me in france. 400 miles from calais. Wanted an sp2 but insurance was i bit steep so i opted for a cbr 600 rr instead. Sexy, faster and its a honda so should be a lot more reliable!

Had 2 sv's over the course of 3 1/2 years or so then i took trip to a triumph dealer and came out with this..........

Tis a Bonny

I really liked it but not just yet

Yep, a brilliant colour but its a biatch to keep looking clean, and if your like me, then everything comes off and gets a clean every few weeks! too much mud on the roads around here! plus chain lube tends to get sand and crap stick to it when it sticks to your panels!

I wondered why I was getting so much junk mail

Well I am on my first bike, Yamaha Thundercat (blue is the fastest colour).

I did look at getting an SV as they were doing 0% on finance but there were two reasons I didn't

A: The tight barstewards at Suzuki would not let me test ride one... I am not commiting to a few grand if I don't know how it rides..

and

B: (You're going to love this one fellow spies)

IT'S A GIRLS BIKE

I get the feeling that will be felt far and wide..

Ok, I've Never owned an SV

I Joined the site when Benji had his SV650S Curvey (Ok he still has it it just doesn't go anywhere)

Had a Bandit 600 then upgraded to:

A rather nice Kwak which I've put 10,000 miles on since July because it handles and stops in a way I could never convince the Bandit to

I hang about because the people are great and the reception has been good whatever I've turned up on... To add a little reason for me being here I'm happily living with the lovely Samnooshka and seem to spend a part of my "free time" working on her *very* low SV650S K5
