They do look lovely, and when Agnes went past me, very quickly, at last years OcUK bike meet, they shift. That seat though. I get the feeling your backside will feel better after having been a prison bitch for a month or so than a few hours riding on that

I really love Ducati's but keep hearing stories about too many £££££ need to be spent on them

Thats not the case anymore on the more modern bikes unless you count the endless bits of carbon fibre and other bits and pieces you can add in a VERY short space of time ...

My new SV1000s fully clothed:

Gutted I couldn't get the tail tidy fitted, but I need a new number plate due to different hole placements on the tail tidy mount and no v5 through the post yet to go get one

Loving that SV... stunningly nice :-)

How's the insurance on the SV1000? It's quite a high group compared to the 650.

About £450 garaged at the moment as I have an open insurance claim against me from June last year where the learner driver/instructor is claiming I'm liable for them pulling out on me on a roundabout....... which unfortunately means the insurance company isn't accepting my no claims

The policy would be around £250 with my 3 years no claims bonus.

PUZE are you happy with the colour match ? because I read your other post I can not get it out of my head, so when looking at your pics my eyes tell me the lowers are a little off please reassure me

The color is identical as they're oem match, although I think you're right they are a bit off but I think that's just because the lowers are newer then the rest of the paintwork.

I am also 25 and looking at the SV1000.
Only problem being, haven't ridden for a while and have been insured for a while so it's worked out at around £500 running a quote on compare the market..

It's a nice bike very smooth on the power although you can wind it up if you want to shift, a lot less revy then my old hornet although a bit grouchy sub 3k around town although you can smooth it out with some light clutching.

I have mine garaged in a nice postcode with ground anchor, alarm, sdp&c and 6000 miles a year although it's only tpft, is that similar to what yours is coming out as?

It certainly is. Though i've ridden an SV650 and that's lovely to ride, V-Twins rock.
I am dropping back to a used SV before jumping on a brand new bike because i've not ridden for a few years. But i also want a commuter/tourer and an SV1000 with panniers will be perfect i think.

Have you tried remapping to see if you can smooth out the low revs?

Yeah that's the same mileage that i quoted for but fully comp.
The quote i did for the SV650 was half that of the SV1000.... so i may lean that way. We'll see..
Are you over on the SV forums?

You can pick up some bargain silver framed SV1000's at the moment seen some as little as 1.5k :eek:

I plan on using it for touring mainly, although I'll be looking at some soft panniers later in the year.

I've only had it just over a week now so considered remapping yet, although I'm going to check the TPS calibration first.

SV650 is a lot cheaper to insure and also a cracking bike, but just felt a bit small for me.

Yea I'm on the SV forums although I've not really posted much yet.
