    I can also see a fully faired SV650-based sports bike in the works.

    Yeah apparently they are working on a parallel twin engined model upgrade. There was some patents filed recently.
    I hope it has a 270 degree firing order like the R-7 and Aprilia as they produce a way better sound and vibes IMO. V twins seem to be too costly to manufacture in comparison to parallel twins. Shame, I really like them.

    I've been avoiding thos thread to not sound like an angry old man..

    I had a YZF750SP and the next logical progression was an R7. But they really were rare here. Never saw one in the flesh. Fuck they were gorgeous. Needed derestricting. Used to great effect racing in UK.

    And now. . .

    Not an OW03 that's for sure
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Much the same as Kawasaki putting the Ninja brand on their 250/300/400s...
