i did do my research

Meh, it's only a couple of kilos here and there. I'm saying there's not much of a difference. Carrying a rucksack would make more difference.

stop being so pedantic and get back on topic
the riding position is definately different to davenumbers SV though, maybe the sport SV has a similar leany overy bit to the F?

I would of imagend the CBF is less "wristy" than the SVS

Not offending me! That cheered me right up (but just for your info, a fazer is probably just as fast as a CBR f, but agreed not sporty)

Didn't think you would let that lie
Wristy means a lot of weight on your wrists because the bike is leany over

i agree, a CBF would be less wristy, but not sure how thats relevent lol

Nice one. Told you you'd be fine once you got out on it

Glad you had a good day out. Will you be coming up north on the bike?

So you say you had crap "bike" make-up. Some people prefer less make-up, I certainly do. You had "theme park hair" - again, some people prefer that look.

Hardly weird that someone was attracted to you IMO.

Of course, it's your decision to break the hearts of the guys on the forum or not.
