    Cheapo car satnav worked a treat too.My music list from its MP3 player blasting into my ears for 5 hours and the satnav voice cutting in nice and audible too.Satnav screen visible even in the sunlight.:)

    Oh and YES,Irish Ferries do strap the bike down for you and put wheel chocks under the rear wheel too.They even have straps with rubber cushions built into them,so the bike seat doesnt get crushed.:)

    Ha, not yet. But I was being so incredibly careful whilst filling the tiny tank that it probably looked like I was performing a hernia operation.

    .€11.08......hate that......:P


    Lovely bike mate..

    Lumen, I thought I'd hate it if it wasn't in the Kenny Roberts colors ~ but fook me that green is beautiful and really suits the bike.

    Is it British racing green?.. Irregardless it looks fantastic.

    Wear well & ride safe man.

    Lovely bike, great little V-twin engine in those things ~ I prefer the carbed (curvy) like yours over the injected model.

    But if you don't carry a pillion you should (IMO) consider taking the grab rail off the back of that, its only two bolts under the seat. It really tidies up the rear and makes it look very slick.

    My SV650... had the fairings painted and put on about a week ago.

    Yup, seriously its looking really good.

    I've seen a few SV's with the full fairing and I thought looked dire, but not yours.

    And just thinking, I think its the Curvy I prefer half faired with its tubular alloy frame and engine exposed.

    Was a grand 6 hour spin yesterday.

    Here is my replacement for the SV650s. It's a 2009 Repsol CBR 1000RR. Can't wait to bring it for a spin.
