Got the SV650 courtesy bike today.

[Matt06]

...And im loving it. I dont really know why, its even restricted to 33bhp, but I am really having fun riding it. To be honest it feels quite rapid with the 33bhp up to about 90 then slows off somewhat. Its a 06 model SV.

Seeing as my ZXR400 is going to be restricted and still might be written off I might get one of these bad boys instead. My mate who rides fancies a tour around europe next summer and the SV would defo be more suited to that. I love my ZXR, but it wont be the same if I get it back with different paint or if its written off. Im just going to wait until my restriction is over and get something like a ZX6R or and R6.

I didnt realise the newish SV650's looked so cool either.

Awesome.

I have been riding the ZXR without restrictors and even though I can tell the difference on the SV, its not like I care too much. I always thought 33bhp was a really small amount, but its plenty to still feel fast and the SV does 0-60 in 5 seconds. The ZXR is much more fun for a thrill of speed, but me thinks I went around a bit too fast on it . I always feel like im ragging the ZXR aswell even just cruising at 70-80. Its fun but not all the time.

Im just waiting for my restriction to end now . Bloody gay laws always spoiling my fun .

Have fun with the Zed .
