SV was sold a week ago, and I now own a share in this little toy.
Its a lot more fun than an SV650. Cooler to own too.

Bet you can't get your knee down in it.

Never really saw the appeal of light aircraft tbh. My step dad had 2, I used to go up with him and he'd let me fly, don't get me wrong, it was nice seeing the sights etc. But I'd rather be attacking some twisties.

oh but the fun to be had with aerobatics Very Happy

Been up in a bulldog (2 seater) and a viking (glider) a few times when I was younger and there is nothing like what one pilot called the "dive bomber" which comprised of gaining altitude then nosediving a 1k feet before pulling back up to a steep climb. Beats any rollercoaster! Shocked

expensive.

are you totally bikeless now?

flying has never appealed to me. ive been ina few mini planes with a few of my dads mates and i was utterly bored. now, if it had guns and there were things to shoot at, that would be fun Very Happy

Think of it this way, it's cheaper to take a 2 week holiday in florida, doing all the parks etc and do your licence there, than to take it on its own here.

so you pay that much, just to fly around a bit and land?

I wish someone had taken me out in helicopter when I was a kid...as I'd be a helicopter pilot by now. Still have 20/20 vision. Funny but have been in a four seater plane, a glider, and all sorts of other planes, but never had the bug to learn to fly...odd that!

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
