Op is sweet but I think the seat could be better. E.g.:

Also that divvy is cheating as it looks to be in america land where they don't coat the roads in salt for half the year, it's easy to keep a bike looking shiny in those conditions!

Divvy still looks like a Divi to my eyes. Second C90 looks pure hero though. Cool

Right way up forks are more likely to damage the forks in a crash.
While upside down forks are stiffer, this can mean they may be more likely to damage the frame.

Suspect it's also thanks to a lot of SVs being bought by inexperienced riders wanting a sports bike - and trying to ride it like one.

I crashed an SV many many times on track and never had a problem with the forks - but of course there's less things to hit.
