Glad to see you like the SV, it is a nice bike. This weeks MCN gives it an excellent review. "Bargin at any price" it says. Also goes on to say how good it is as a learner bike, not too edgy.
I was a bit apprehensive about gettin a v twin and it did take a bit off getting used to (and still is). But the handling is very good so i'm looking forward to putting my BT010s on it and havin a good ride on the twisties.
I've got the certificate to prove its been restricted..thats just as good as having it restricted...isn;t it korn?
As for regrets...not a one, i would of liked somthing more sporty like CBR, R6, ZX6 but i'd never get insured so i'm happy enough now on this.
I sold mine after a year with 4500miles, new rear tyre, new chain and sprockets for £2,600 and it was a Uk bike.
If your bikes not on the HPI list there no reason to delacare it a damaged repared is there..So thats good news. How many miles has it done though? Thats what it all boils down to in the end |

My bike's done 1500 miles, so it's only just been run in, I got all the manuals, service book, log book, etc with it too. It's had its first 600 mile service by a Honda dealer which is good, any ideas when it needs its next service??? And how often shall I get it serviced???
You got a good price for your NSR mate, hope mine will sell for about £2500 when I sell it in about a years time, although it probably won't, but i'll be happy with about £2000 with it, because I will have hopefully passed my full bike test by then and want a 4 stroke. Hopefully will have my eye on something like the SV650, I know what you mean about insurance prices for the sports 600's, bloody outrageous to be honest.
What do you pay on your SV650, what type of cover, no claims, etc, etc???
I know what you mean about your restriction certificate anyway, if you think about it little point having it restricted anyway. It doesn't do the bike much good fighting against restrictions that the bike wasn't made to fight against, and a restricted one will do at least 110mph anyway, and if the coppers catch you at 100mph+ your buggered anyway, at least with it derestricted you got more chance of nailing it and making a getaway, lol.
Cheers for the reply mate. ____________________ A big enough hammer fixes anything! |
