Classic motorcycles mag this month
This is the only magazine that's covered the 25th anniversary. Bike magazine did a special on the Hayabusa and GSX and ignored the SV.

Re: Classic motorcycles mag this month
I suspect the humble SV isn't glamorous enough for the likes of Bike mag.

Re: Classic motorcycles mag this month
How many Hedge Abusers do you ever see out on the road? Way less than the SV that's for sure.
When I was sorting out the reg for Bullseye earlier this year the dealer said "I'll put it on one of the 1300's to hold it, no-one buys them"...

I know it's actually from Suzuki, but there's a nice little potted history of the different models over the years on their website.

Re: Classic motorcycles mag this month
Yes they were awful. It was damp the day I picked up my curvy and nearly lost the front end on ride back to home. It was my first bike with radial tyres and I was expecting an improvement over crossplies.
