The girl bike thread/poll/whatchamacallit...

Do you own a SV?

Are you tired of people telling you that it's a girl's bike?

Complete the poll for definitive proof that you don't in fact own the most girly bike on the planet!!

No one has ever refered to my bike as a "girl's bike" in real life when I've been in earshot, apart from one of my friends who jokingly calls everything other than an R1 a "girl's bike". As it happens, I've actually had it someone describe it as "a proper man's bike, not like these poofs with their barn door fairings" once.

If someone called it a girl's bike it wouldn't worry me. If they are faster than me, so what, I'm on a girl's bike. If I am faster than them, oh dear, they got whupped by a girl's bike.

wheres the i dont own a girls bike option?

on a side note, after the SV was refered to as a sports bike on the TV a few local peeps took the wee-wee a bit, saying it was NOT a sports bike it was a girls bike.

so............. how come it can keep up with your 1200 bandit

My old SK3 is a girls bike. Her name is Lynn.

My bike is supposedly a girls bike. Which makes me, supposedly, a man very much in touch with his feminine side. Some truth in that - I get a bit shreiky around bugs.

But I don't think my bike is a "girlie" bike, which I guess means its not a very "tough" bike. Its bloody tough. Its bloody hard to ride fast, to keep up with supersports 600's and gsxr750's. Its got a deep growling motor, with the most awesome overrun sound in the world, even on my road legal can. Sometimes, I wonder what a group of SV's with loud cans would be like. And I'm often drawn to a song where the opening line is "Down the plains come hell riders", which is exactly how I picture a group of SV's with loud cans coming full chat toward me.

So is it a girly bike? No. Them silly little tiny piaggio zip scooters are girlie bikes.

The SV is a wolf in sheeps clothing.

It does, after all, have some DNA of the TL1000s.....

i'd love to see a girl at full tilt on my naked SV her head would come off, never heard it called a girls bike but the seat height is probs why girls and short ass's can ride em, someone should tell Suzuki and they can do a pink one

Sticks and Stones I think.

If you get insulted by Girls Bike, just think there are many girls on here that ride equal to or better than most men.

I for one would rather attempt to ride my SV well in the knowledge it's going to forgive my many mistakes, than get a "macho" machine and try to maintain that image while extrqacting saind machine out of a hedge.
