SV650 Progression

A good question. For me though the SV650 was a step backwards in terms of performance but I had to buy a new bike as I needed something reliable. The SV was cheap and is still a great bike to ride on weekends too. As for moving forward I would say the Honda VFR 800 would have been my choice as I used to own a pre V_tec one and it was a dream to ride, plus it sounded like a Nascar when i fit a Remus GP can. The Vtec models are great to ride but expensive to service. I've also owned a bandit 600, and two Ninja ZX-7R's which are just amazingly good. It's a toughie to answer as you could probably go out and buy almost any bike and handle it okay. Personally i plan to buy either a Z1000 or a Ninja 636 in the next two years.

Nope, still confused. What has the SV got to do with tyres, good or crap?

I may have learnt more than I think on the SV but its shown me that twins aren't for me (and the definition of cr*p tires!)[/quote]What tyres did u run?

funny my six having done over 100,000 each says differently, do you have some kind of inside information? or is it you consider that amount to be low mileage

Cheers Mark.

No just my personal experiences. I can't argue against that sort of experience though. Certainly not low mileage.

The oe tyres are rubbish!

Ah yes. Well they are on a lot of bikes TBH. But that's no reflection on the SV, crap tyres are crap tyres...

(Actually they're not that bad, just not up to the current standard of good tyres available)

I have just bought a GSXR600 K4 See Here

I love it and am looking forward to getting used to it on warmer roads and long summer nights!
