Initial reviews look good. It sound like just the bike I'm looking for.

It it's anything like the SV650, there's gonna be heaps of aftermarket stuff to buy to make it go faster and look better.

The first thing to go would be those fucking godawful taillights!

Theyre going for about $16K arent they?????

From all I've read the SV1000s is a great bike - perhaps the bike the TL should have been in the first place.

I like the sv1000 too esp. the two mufflers instead of one- looks more balanced.As for the LED rear lights,there is greater visibility during daylight with them. I've noticed this with trucks and cars that have them.I reckon in the next couple of years, most bikes will be coming out with them.

I suppose the rumour that they are supplying a new racing version of the SV650 complete with tank dents and scrapes is not true then ?:rolleyes:

Started a <a href="http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/sv1000">SV1000 forums</a> web site last week. I guess this what I do when I get impatient waiting for it to turn up at the bike shops. Did the same thing for my SV650s.

Can't wait to get something? Create a web site for it to help pass the time. :rolleyes:

At $19995 you could go the 2002 R1 or for $23k you could go the K3 GSXR1k...

Even better for $16k&nbsp;- you could get the hot <a href="http://www.hondamotorcycles.co.nz/new/photos/activemo43.html">new CBR600RR</a> - it looks minger!

If you are interested in the SV1000s check out this review by a real world female biker that I correspond with in Pomgolia http://www.btinternet.com/~Andrew.Janet/birdie2.htm

Thanks for that merv. That vibration problem is getting to be a bit of a worry. A few reviews have mentioned that. :(

Man... thats a horny looking machine! If you hadn't said it was an SV spankme, I would've sworn that was a Tuono! I reckon you should mod&nbsp;ya silver one into that!

They spent a shit load on that bike - it has WSB Forks on it - nice - not much change out of 3000 quid
