Default Just bought my first SV

Thought I'd say hello.

Just bought my first SV650s although I've had a ZX6R and a Divvy 600 in the past. After a year of not having a bike it was time to get another one and I saw my neighbour taking pics of his slightly crash damaged SV for Ebay.

I made him an offer and he accepted.

I now own a 2000 X reg Black SV650S that needs a tank, right fairing panel and can (think I'm gonna get a CCC as i loved the one on my Kwak)

Never ridden a twin before so I'm looking forward to it....

Now that is odd for me to hear. I had a yellow ZX6R and was always being told that I had bought the wrong colour and the green ones were faster....

Ah, but the best colour doesn't mean the fastest bike.

I'll conceed that I prefer the looks of a black SV.

However, I bought the blue one for a damn good reason

Welcome!

if you had to chose between manning a lighthouse for a year or tarring and feathering, would you still consider Johnathon King an innocent man?
