so i rode an SV1000 today
Well i was bored today so i thought i'd go to the big smoke today,(that place every one hates, including me,jaffa land)and do a test ride on a 03 Sv1000.
I had never ridden a bigbore jap bike before so it was all new ground for me.
Well after my sporty it certainly was a change.
good brakes,smooth fast accelleration ,different riding position it wasn't a s either. Handling wasn't as good as i expected it was rather hard on the suspension and took a lot to steer into the corners.
I've read that they take abit to corner but after riding my sporty i now understand what they mean, the sporty is heaps easier to thro into the corners (of course doing a slower speed by 20-30ks)but you dont have to counter steer or man handle it as much.
Its stiff suspension was kinda like the sporty but not as hard i only bounced off the seat a few times.
It had the nice smooth vtwin power i was hoping for .a shit load more than the sporty. man and the brakes actually work.....
And i found out what you guys mean buy the wind taking the weight of ya wrists(no probs with t/bars) pitty it was @ 130-140k's.
nice sound burbling outta the twin yoshis too ,not to loud either.
I had a fun 50-60k test ride on it.
Would i buy one..........
If i could change the bars.
need to raise them up by a inch or two prob make em wider to.
I must be soft i got sore elbows/wrists.must be something ya get used to?.
yes i would..............
And i would've
