COMPLAINT ABOUT SV650.ORG

several months ago I decided to get a motorbike. I looked at fazers, hornets, cbr600s, R6s. But was persuaded by this site and the enthusiasm of the people contributing to this forum to get an sv.

I now have no spare time, every minute rain or shine being spent on the bike or thinking about the bike. I havent seen my girlfriend in daylight hours for over two weeks.

My 30minute car journey to work now takes two hours as I take 100mile detours.

Do I have a case for legal action.

A severe case of SVitis I think. Suprisingly common and totally incurable I'm afraid. You could have picked it up from a test ride.......

There are a precious few who have escaped the SVitis' grip, most recently Cloggsy, but i believe he now has the shakes and terrible mood swings....

Sometimes when your not on your SV you may ask, is it worth it?

Then when you climb on, you question why you ever questioned in the 1st place

I agree totally, but why isn't there a warning statement or sticker. Either in the Owners Manual, on the bike or both.

My girlfriend once said "sometimes I think you love that bike more than me" I just smiled. I'm now single

LOL Your g'f saw sense.

I've been a garage widow for 23 years (he plays with his bikes more than me!) So I thought bugger you, if ya can't beat 'em join 'em, and if he doesn't want me to go out to play, I go out myself.

enjoy your sv its more reliable!

My missus said to me once
" if I had two wheels and black paintwork with fairing lowers would you take as much interest in me as you do your bike?"

My reply was
" No. But you might get ridden a bit more often!!" :P
