SV650 bought. - SV650.org

12-05-11, 10:28 PM

Well guys n gals I thought I would say hello and talk a little bit about what I'm upto.
Was looking something a bit bigger than my 400 so I started looking. Was originally wanting a hornet but there wasn't many about at keen prices.
Seen an add on gumtree for an Sv650 needing a little tidy - was priced well but no pictures.
Contact made with the owner, i decided to go have a nosey.
Seen it was a resolvable condition, so bid him a low offer and he accepted, sweet!!
So here is was as I brought it home:

I have stripped all the panels of it and sending them down with a friend to respray. Something a little quieter.
Thinking gunmetal grey??

Also need to fit new tyres, bar ends, grips, screen, indicators, hyperpro fork springs, clean and lube chain.

Best places for decals?

Cheers

I actually quite like the look of that green. Goes wll with the silver/grey frame. But thats just me.

I really like the green on that curvy as well, though normally it's one of my least favourite colours. Certainly it's a bit different and stands out, I think a gunmetal colour would be a bit bland - you'd merge into the sea of Audis on the road

With the rest on this as the colour will keep you visible on the road and gunmetal will just blend you into the road imo (although i dont practice what i preach as mines black all my gears black but i do have a bit of white on my lid

). Aside from that well done on buying a curvy and may you have lots of grin inducing days with it
