New Bike!

Motorcycling

I’ve bitten the bullet. After much looking around I’ve bought a new bike. It’s no faster than my old '04 Bandit 600, but it’s brand new, under warranty for 2 years, and won’t cost the earth to run. It’s an SV650 Sport in black, and I pick it up tomorrow. I do hope the rain stops before tomorrow morning…:slight_smile:

Thanks Chunks… I just need to convince the wife I need a tail tidy to get rid of the monstrosity Suzuki put on it, and a new can to make the most of the V-twin experience:)

“good work. what did you do with the bandit?”

I traded it in. I thought about trying to sell it on here, or through work, but to be honest, it’s such a shed with so many things wrong with it I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. It’s now the dealers problem:)

Well if you’re about tomorrow afternoon… I have an appointment in London between 6am and 2pm, but assuming nothing happens towards the end of my appointment I’ll be needing to put some miles on the thing…It’ll be a little slow as I’m breaking her in gently. I’m not riding to work next week, I’m on the train all week, I have a course in central London and there’s no where to put the bike, and I’m not risking the public parking bays.I need to wash it before I do pictures… Rode out of the dealers , and thought I would take the scenic route :), only to find that someone was building some houses down the road, and they had thoughfully deposited lots and lots of Kentish mud all over the road.
