I’m not going to sit here and proclaim that the SV is a gods charriot, but why would you want something at the moment that will be more expensive, worse on gas, worse seating position, more to insure, more common and less fun on the street for a gain of 20mph in top speed?

It can handle with the rest of them, considering you can just as easily pick up a set of front and rear Gsxr forks, and make it handle very similar to a Gsxr.

Then again for some reason you wanted the SV 1K, which is a silly bike IMO.

One of the greatest benefits of the 650, is what it is praised for, is how light and flickable it is. SV 1000 is much heavier, overall bigger and is indeed an old mans cruiser bike.

The rider :lol

I went over in a wheelie on a hill, going home after a ride 2 a.m. 300 feet from my house. Mostly cosmetic damage for which I have most of the replacements at this time. Still rode without fixing it for a month or two and got all the parts to fix it over the winter.

Tail Section  
Tail Light  
Shifter Lever  
Left Peg  
New Frame Sliders  
Lower fairings  
Upper Fairings  
Left Clip On  
Left Bar End  
Clutch lever.  
Exhaust  
And lots of touch up.

I’m not mentioning damage to gear, body or ego either. And I got off easy.

Stunting is fun isn’t it? :confused

Too much throttle, it being 2:00 AM and cold might have had something to do with it.

That sucks though!

Well technically rode away :tong

But it could always be worse, lesson learned, don’t do wheelies on hills, or better yet cut down on wheelies.

Anyway, back on topic, what have you decided you’re really going with the 750?
