cheers........handleing is a bit ummmmmmm, but putting moto x bars on helps no end, running without steering damper & still got original damper on t' rear end so all things considered its not as bad as i expected. only real problem is keeping the front end from goin skywards in first three gears!!!!!far too much torque for me to tame and use proper like...... if any body wants to make me a sensible offer they can own this beast!

Where as its "smaller" Bro. is a pleasure to ride, and still has sufficient urge to bring on a boad grin, anytime, but handles like a "featherbed", brilliant.............................Morrag

It's the way forward. Undoubtedly the sv650 is a brilliant bike, but there's something about it that doesn't quite appeal to me about it. might be down tommy mechanic had his tl fighter for years in a couple of different guises. Was lovely and got featured in streetfighters a few years back. |

Know what yer mean Archie, and 50 years ago would prob. have felt the same! however,"tempis fugit!" so realism has to set in, but the "Bonnie" of yesterday had around 40 'orses, on a good day,& with a following wnd! whereas my SV has 72 of those geegees, enough for me I admit, still.............................

Hi yall.....Ive got the log book back now from dvla,so its officially my bike now.It was looking a bit dodgy as the previous owner hadnt signed the log book.It was then sold to my mate,who just took off a couple of parts for his gs and he didnt change the log book cuz he sold it to me after a couple of weeks. So now i can start cutting and a carvin as ya do.  |

Ok....havent been doing a great deal on the bike,but started stripping a few bits off it today.Will put some more pics on soon,but ive noticed the more i take off,the better its looking.I know it seems a bit over the top to turn a humble gs 500 into a semi styled cafe racer , but on the other hand...why not.Its been done to honda cx 500s and other small capacity bikes has;nt it.I sold my honda hornet 600 june 2010,and ive been going to work on the scrot ever since....so getting back on to a proper bike will be great.
