what fairing is that?

I was gonna say the same thing. It's definately not suzuki lowers.

I think the suzuki ones definately look the best (from what I have seen), they keep the right lines and angles of the original plastics.

They are still nice though Tiger.

ok so i went to the local suzuki dealers today n saw the SV in the flesh ... very nice bike... still prefer the gixxer lol gona phone up Suzuki Express n see what quotes they can do for me.

Although i admit i have skim read the thread...have you said if you will be on a restricted license or full?

The sensible money indicates an SV would be the right choice, but if you can afford a GSXR and its what you really want then why not get it.(It really is alot more £ though, insurance wise/consumables and you certainly dont want to drop it...which you will )

However that advice was for a full license, if you are restricted then it has to be the SV. No point having a restricted GSXR as by all accounts the SV handles it a lot better. By the time your 2 year probabtion is up the GSXR is more affordable and you will be in a better position to handle it.

An SV should be more than enough from a 50cc

restricted licence

erm.... sv doesn't handle better at all! I have had both and the gixer handle much much better....... get the sv though mate

I have no clue, I just googled SV650 Sport for images. I was looking for a pic of one I saw for sale with a fairing and a GSXR paint job which I thought would do the lad nicely, but I may have dreamed it!
