So Scooter needed servicing and on taking apart realised it needed new clutch, new belt, new throttle cable, various bearings, brakes.
As I’m working in the city again in a few weeks need two wheels.
Took a trip over to buy the parts and realised that the current deals on the SV650 are quite good.
Long story short… Pick this up next Friday, wouldn’t be my first choice but cheap, fairly reliable and still a hoot. Will be seeing you all on some rides soon!
Excellent commuter, I’ve been using a SV650 K8 for commuting and the other half has a SV650S K8, our “his” and “hers” bikes A MIVV can keeps the pedestrians at bay, (my commute is into city). And they really are fun, I took mine round the IOM, many times, one year.
My SV is my wok horse. only have one bike (clearly a pauper on LB as everyone else seems to have more than one). but I still love it, just had a good ole service and now she’s back to normal. Love my SV still…
Did my test on an SV650, I quite like them as a workhorse. If I end up having to commute into London a couple of days a week then I’d consider one for that.
Afraid not mate. Working Saturday and prior arrangements for Sunday.
Race bike is coming back together though, should be back on track later in the year hopefully
