Default 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.

I suspect the humble SV isn't glamorous enough for the likes of Bike mag.

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.

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.
