New SV650S in my gargre

[Fishy]

Good stuff man nice bike. You should join us out to Port Waikato next week.

[WRT]

Nice one mate, just need to update your profile now!

[White trash]

Nice bike that, do good wheelies on a bike like that I've been told.

[Hitcher]

That looks spankingly good in black. Love it to bits.

[2_SL0]

Congrats on the new purchase. Enjoy.

[Zapf]

Nice one.... I see you didn't get those Dunlop D220

Now go shop for a zorst!

Oh and you'll learn to support more of your weight with the wind / back. And less sore wrist soon enough.

ah... and suggest you get some headlight protectors to protect those nice big headlights

[Phurrball]

That's a gorgeous bike you've got there Leong!

Brand spanking too...you lucky brastard! (Can you tell I'm jealous? Wouldn't mind one of them in my gargre)

You moved up to that pretty quick - congratulations

[et al]

Awesome. Looks great in black with the black frame.
Enjoy it

what he said.... nice.

[justsomeguy]

Wow, congrats that's the BEST colour too.

Is the VTR traded in?? - Cos I know someone who's looking for one.

[Leong]

Thanks for the congrats all....

Very nice... having power everywhere in the rev range is refreshing from changing gears the whole time eh??

Wait till you get to the overtaking... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Enjoy, sounds like you are already addicted

Already done some overtaking!!....up the second passing lane on the way to Maraetai.... used to hate that one as I'd have to change down just to get up the hill (reasonably quickly) on the VTR, also big difference on the uphill bit just past the Hotel Du Vin turn on the way back to Hunua, and this is being careful not to "lug" the engine! Know what you really mean about the overtaking... looking forward to getting more miles on it!!

Awesome. Looks great in black with the black frame.
Enjoy it

Thanks skelstar... must be tough waiting for the license and new bike... definitely worth the wait though.

Get an aftermarket pipe. No point having a v-twin without the beautiful sound.

YES, I didn't mean that I enjoyed the quiet - it was more the lower revs compared to the VTR. Like the sound of Keystones bike but will spend some time shopping. ALso need to research re noise regs re aftermarket pipes, I know with cars the driver now gets demerit points if the cars too loud! COurse the V twins have more torque than the inline fours too don't they?

Yep very nice but why not the 1000?

Cool with digital speedo eh.....even registers when you roll backwards.... pinged

I was almost tempted by the black before I bought my red 1000.......black or red only colours eh?

Cos I'm a nana, and I tend to do things by the book, 1000 probably too big a step up. Maybe next time. Yes, love the digital speedo, clock, and two trip meters.

Dang nice new bike ya have there which obviously you're already enjoying...hard not to eh?
All you need now is a nice long run
to shorten the period until its first service

Hard to keep me off the bike!! We're doing the coro loop this weekend, and I've already booked in for the first service next Tuesday, before heading down to Taupo on Wednesday! Will be doing Weasels beginners ride on that weekend.

Good stuff man nice bike. You should join us out to Port Waikato next week.

Might do...I've been there twice on the VTR... grew up in Tuakau, I did!!

Nice one.... I see you didn't get those Dunlop D220

Those lights are not too bad... much better than the VTR anyway. Any recommendations re the zorst?

Thanks Phurrball, think we both started rriding at the same time...

Wow, congrats that's the BEST colour too.

No, still have it, but will be going to Botany Honda on behalf late next week. Will want $6500 for it, 10500km, newish Sport Demons, Pack rack. Botany will put it on fro $6995, same an older one they have at Colemans.

Well, I think I know what Zapf will say to that Leong...

DAMM RIGHT GAL

M4 Ti full system Leong... if you ask KS nicely she might let you sit and rev the engine

[justsomeguy]

Oh, ok -- I'll pass on the purchase then. That's a bit more than his budget. Good luck with Botany.

[Phurrball]

Thanks Phurrball, think we both started rriding at the same time...

Aye, I know - hence the hearty congratulations and jealousy! No quick licence for me - too financially challenged for any fancy CBTA courses...that, and 40 demerits incurred going down a steep hill outside of Dunedin in my 1982 Laser...grrr...DOWNHILL is the only way that car speeds FFS!
