You think you like it now, but give it a while and you'll learn to really love it! I've had mine for coming up two years, micron pipes and various fruit, and it just gets better. Enjoy!!

I was in Wellington M/C a few weekends' back and they were bringing the bikes through to the footpath/front of shop area from out in the back workshop.

This awesome head-turning rumble (almost as good as a Ducati) came from out the back. I had no idea what it was until it went past. Yep. Sure enough. Blue SV1000 with Yoshi pipes (maybe a full system?).

Honestly, it made my spine tingle. I said to my wife, who had very obligingly come along to share in my "shopping" experience, "I need a bike that sounds like that!".

Enjoy your ride mate. That's a machine that'll turn heads, even when it's only idling.

Just done that...Wow!!!Holy Cow, shes rumbles like thunder & crackles like a firecracker, with the turbo sounding V-Twin in the background, PURE MAGIC, that sound should be bottled and sold

best thing i did was suspension set up for me. im 110kgs, and on the standard settings i thought, yeah its ok.
but once they were set for me, dam a whole different bike, handled so much better.
i wont list the changes i have done, but they have been a few.
but hell yeah the noise still gets me going.

my 03 SV has got yoshi's and sound is pretty damn nice, I love the way it pops and bangs decelerating too. No mods other than the cans, strange that they can make it back fire so much more than std pipes.

My advice, wear earplugs, still sounds cool and still sets of car alarms but you get to keep your hearing for a little longer. Keep an eye on your mirrors too, I had a cop up my date with lights and sirens and I didn't even know he was there. Luckily he wasn't after me.

unfortunately the yoshi's do tend to encourage you to twist the throttle.

Oh yeah, I found my bike is very easy to ride, if you're smooth with the controls it won't bite and it corners very confidently too. Made me realise just how rubbish my GSX250 was, maybe it was just the rubber but the SV feels like it can corner at twice the speed of the little two fiddy.

Take care and enjoy,
