SV 1000 v VTR 1000

[Swoop]

Hope you enjoy the SV! You certainly get a lot of bike for a small amount of money.

My old VFR750 went on the Southern Cross with a VTR1000 as companion.
The VTR needed to know where the next petrol station was located and the VFR had to cross-tank fuel to keep the VTR going.

Flag the V-twins, do ya self a favour buy a GSX-R....nuff said.

How much touring or long range stuff do you do on your gixer? Does your arse go to sleep?
The seat on those feels like a plank of wood.

Sorry to quote ya, but what year did the VTR come out with a 5 speed?????????

Never.
Maybe it was one what had dropped a gear...
Or mebbe it was a VTR250, but I thought they had six-speed slushboxes as well, also. Too.

my preference would be the vtr is more robust the sv is a sound bike aswell and you wouldnt get any honda jokes

Yet so many riders after owning a V-twin, could never go back to il4's.

I'm hooked on twins now, more "fun" and character and that is what bikes is all about IMHO. Don't forget about the Mille and Falco's they aren't much more than a used japper. VTR was a nice bike but a bit flawed, if honda had sorted out the niggles it would have been a great bike. I'm leaning towards a Falco at the moment - everything the VTR should have/could have been.
