SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Ok so I wasn't a learner road user...but the lack of sides and roof is daunting...

My bike is an X reg, yellow and I love it... just had it's service by my mechanic and is ready to go!

Just thought I'd say hi!

Welcome Jen and well done on your Pass!
