It wouldn't be silly to take a Zed for fang. Even if it's for comparison purposes.

Im keen to do that for sure, I love the look of the Z1000's.... I've spoken to crazefox about his so we'll see

[Clivoris]

Sup?........

Sup?........

nothing yet, went and checked out the Z, loved it, wanted it, thought i had it but apparently it sold between me looking on Wednesday night and last night, made an offer but apparently he got a better one.... thats life, I move on......

so that consumed my thoughts, gota start again now.

... theres this woman at home, shes there every day...

Hey Marc, do you have any plans to take that woman out on the back of your bike? She might see the value in it if she can have some fun times on it too Just be aware that the pillion seat on the SV is even smaller, harder and less comfy than the rider's seat so that's something to take into account if you'd like to go on longer trips with her on the back.

Almost two years ago now my partner rode out the driveway on his Gixxer one morning, and came back later on an SV! He absolutely loves it and hasn't regretted it for a minute. But gosh it's hard on my bum!

Getting my lady to ride anything, let alone the back of a bike is very difficult!!!

Shes confirmed that I will be doing my riding 1 up, at least for the next 20 years until the kids leave home....

Im still keen on an SV, if something comes along I'd be happy to spend my money!!!

Sorry to hear mate. Something will come up if you continue to be patient. What did you like about the Z?

Yea I was a bit disappointed as you might understand, but I'm over it now.

I liked the look eh, really mean looking, plus i thought the colour was fantastic, i know it probably wouldn't have been the best bike for the riding i will be doing (being a naked and most of my riding will be at 100kph+) but that didn't put me off at all... I don't really like nakeds, but the Z, to me, is distinctive & different from others on the market.

I am now re-opened for suggestions....

[marc34]

Just a quick note, Ive got myself a bike, 2006 SV1000s with about 6k on the clock, due to arrive in January, can't wait!!! will post some pics once it gets here!!

Cheers

What did you end up paying?

I'll be aiming for an SV once I have the appropriate licence.

If you don't want to disclose I'll understand.

I dont mind disclosing at all mate, I ended up getting it for 9500 so was pretty happy with that, there was a blue one on tradme at the same time, he sold that for 9000, had about 11K on the clock (some "funnys" showed up on the VIR report for that one though!!! highly reccommend a VIR report for any bike your looking at)

I should have mine on the 15th of Jan, looking forward to it

I do intend on doing that, wasn't sure if they did the whole servicing thing but it seems you have answered that! Is there Anyone there who will be able to help me set up the suspension to suit me?? I have had a look at a few articles on DIY set-up but wouldn't mind having it done professionally first time round
