all i can say is...
whisper ducati ducati ducati ducati...
i rode the sv's thought they were nimble and fun, BUT lacked finish and edge... didn't make the soul sing like the duc. there's just something so raw and savage about the ride, the clutch and the sound-but also v. precise. also my maintainance costs have been just about zero and my bike hd 26000kms when i bought it and now its got 38000 - just a service and tune -no parts were required and she runs like a beast...

fyi...if sv's really are drawing you closer... jill had both the thou and 650 and reckoned the 650 was actually the more fun bike

Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

Well it still sounds like you got a few stores to work off...
The dark side is so much fun though!don't let him in on the secret, he might cross over from the dark side.
We have cookies.
I think there's always more room somewhere for more bikes.
Who, me? I just wander from thread to thread.
HOT!
So agree with everything you say surfchick

You know Jerms is looking at buying that SV650.. he's might not be to happy if you buy it :P
He'd probably get a large arse cruiser but doesn't want one under 1 litre, and his budget is to restricting as he's going overseas later this year!
If you end up buying from there... would you be interested in buying a $200 voucher for that shop off me for $175? I won it in a bike show and well.. that shop really doesn't have anything I'd buy and they wanted $600 to service my bike and I said to myself.. STUFF THAT!
Keep it cool lizzy girl
WAHOOO!!!! Man what a lunchtime!
Well decided to get to the bike shops and see what’s out there... as I have not really decided on what new toy I might like.... soooooooo wiggling with anticipation off I headed...
First off the rank was a 2001 SV650s, all important it was blueI literally was bouncing waiting to take the baby for a spin.....
So off up the Port Hills round Lyttelton and by then the decision was made!!
Great bike, fun to ride, I’m toooo tall for it
My knees sit too high by the tank and generally it was quite an uncomfortable ride.
So that decision made, back to the shop and tomorrow I am taking out a Ducati 800 :whari: and its Black!
Geez it’s a hard life, so many bikes and I plan to test ride as many as possible….

I'll be keen to hear your opinion on the GSX-F750! I think it's a lot of bike and good value on NZ roads. I had the 600, an earlier version and thought it about ideal as a road bike.
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

That GSX750F looks VERY much the same as the Katana 750's that Suzuki were flicking off for $6995 not that long ago....

Don't worry about it. What are they gonna do, turn away a sale? They'll just think you're a tyre kicking wanker.

Haha, does that sound accurate Coyote?
Anyway, Speedy, had a conversation with some guy on a TL a number of months ago when we stopped at the same cafe, he had nothing but praise for the things, liked it a lot better than the SV1000 said he! Look forward to hearing what you think about it.
Who, me? I just wander from thread to thread.
Here for the arcade.
Fair point.
I don't kick tyres cause I already know very well that bikes topple overHaha, does that sound accurate Coyote?
