Just looking at Suzuki's website and the SV1000 isn't on it. Has it finally succumbed to emissions laws or something?

Nobody knows then?

i think they were planning on dropping it as it can't meet emisions for next year, but don't quote me on that

From what I understand Suzuki are still producing the machine - but not for the UK market.

Yeah, the rest of the world gets it, we just don't.

The engine will still be used in the DL1000 but the SV1000 and SV1000s is dead. The give away was the lack of them at the NEC this year, I think you may be right about the emissions.

Damn, I had hoped to replace my 650 with one next summer.

Looks like it'll be secondhand if its an SV then!

I love the SV 'cos its an excellent all rounder, with an involving character. My SV is a rough, unrefined, little ******* - and thats why I love it.

Any ideas what else I could have about 1000cc?

I want a sporty riding position that can flick and scratch on tight Scottish back roads like the Dukes Pass, but not one that'll hurt me if I want to do 400 miles in a day. Decent pillion seat and proper grabrail (not a leather strap!). And most important CHARACTER! If I'd wanted my journey to be as smooth, comfortable and easy to ride as something like a VFR, I'd have taken the car! Can't afford superbike insurance either!

A good second hand Busa isn't a bad move, I've just got one to add to my stable.

VERY comfy!!

Unlike incest and folk music, a BMW is something you should try at least once.

The R1200S would fit your brief and the K1200R was on my fantasy list before I bought the SV.

There is, however, the potentially painful issue of money

I'm with tiger on that 1..
I had a go of a R 1200 GS and although i hate the enduro look, I fell in love with it as soon as i pulled away on it.. the power and comfort

i offered him a straight swop my sv (yeah i'm a trator, but F*** it :P), a month old, for his 2 year old Beemer.. he then told me it cost him just under £8000 a few days before... I would if i had the cash! it just has to be tried! I felt like i was in a tractor getting back onto my sv though

Why a Thou?

I just discovered this week that in the small hamlet I call home there are 8 bikers and 5 svs. 1 is a thou. We all congregated by my garage on wed and had a good ole natter and shot of each others bikes.

Long story short....we all liked the thou then they all had a shot on the CBR. It blew them all away and mines is a 95 M reg. Hands down cbr clear winner. The cbr has a comfy seat, grab rail more hp than the sv thou,faster, corners better, steers better. As for the suspension...enough said. The guy - hamish wanted to swap my cbr there and then. just couldn't believe how good it was.

You can smooth the cbr andc tour all day long, scratch and rag the tits off it and it wont complain

I had a shot on the sv1000 and other than the2 exhausts there is nothing that would make me rush out to buy one.

So why get a thou? The performance is not that better by mere mortal standards and there's lots more no doubt.

My tuppence worth but a 600f is a logical step up.

Hic - berfore anyone flames me ...I'm just back from the boozer and far from coherent

CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEE EEE
