    A gargre?? If it stops the gear lever rusting, then it's all good...

    I don't like the look of either, but SV650s are awesome to ride - so thats lucky.

    Cool SV1000

    I rode the old shape SV650 - bit of a beast for a newbie like me at the time - hadjustjumped from FXR150 to GSX600F - found the twin a bit twitchy but loved the look. Had a ride as a pillion on the new SV1000 on Saturday - not bad but got a bit uncomfortable in the seat area - legs were fine, bum went numb.

    Best pillion ride is the "Busa

    I did indeed vote, and yes, I did wonder if that was the first usage of the mangling of garage. The history in this thread takes me breath away

    Hmmm, I was so close to going Postal over thread dredging but realised it was a significant dicovery that needed to be shared. Thanks RIB.
