FutureDRFTer is going to ride b**** on my SV650Prius

That bike looks and sounds like a LOT of fun. I'm partial to v-twins (for the torque, the sound, and the potentially low center-of-gravity) so the idea of a v-twin sport bike is a lot more appealing than the I4s most people are riding these days.

V-twins raise the COG a bit... but they narrow it. The SV's main draws are it's really easy to ride (and ride fast), it's light (there's lighter sportbikes but they're homoginized racers, basically), it's inexpensive, reliable, and it can grow with rider skill (docile now, but it wakes up with go-fast bits, GSX-R front suspensions practially bolt on, as do Ninja rear shocks, etc) they're raced A LOT.

They also aren't that much slower accelerating than 600s. Sub 4 second 0-60 times all kind of blur together.

In the end, I'll add a Daytona 675 to the collection, and a Ducati 996, but if I can swing the garage space, the SV is just too good of a little workhorse not to keep around.

in all fairness, you got the ugliest of the SV's

I like the old trellis frame naked model the best....anyone calls that ugly needs to get the d!ck out of their eyes.



whenever I get around to lowering my life expectancy, the SV is on the short list of bikes I want.

You could lose weight, buy an SV, and break even!

kinda what I'm thinking.

sitting on my a** from shoulder surgery gained me a cool 20 pounds.

best part, it's still a cheap bike. I'm totally down to look like a bear f*** a bicycle on one.

I'm suppose to take a safety course in November anyway...
