I loved my Sv650 :o :o[/quote]
Still have mine. No plans to get rid of it. Great bikes!! 8-)[/quote]
oh dont get me wrong, they arent terrible bikes, just not my cup of te, but then again i did test it after stepping off my dads zx9r soooo....... handling was "alright" aand was comfortable just felt like it was lacking something.
but thats MY opinion and it shouldnt put anyone else off, i imagine it would make a superb commuter?

Oh and if anybody is interested there is a Black cbr400 being sold at Bob Missens in Melksham for £2K dont know reg or mileage.
Doubt it would be that complex. Either a plain single, parallel twin or a V twin based on an existing engine. Keep em cheap for the young riders.

I got a '79 Suzuki GS425E runabout commuter, does that count? LOL
