i would have had a SV650 too if it wasn't for the seller not messing me around....

must have been fate, saw the hornet and went for it

I think I missed that part, what happened?

I like hornets, I've always like nakeds with a round headlight and round speedo's. But the bikes that caught my attention the most, were supersports/bikes. :cool:

Not sure there's much point for a Sport on the road as you won't really use that power, but I still want a GSXR 750 K8.

I was thinking about Delkevic

Not sure which one, I don't want it too loud. I'm planning on doing longer trips. constant loud buzzing from the exhaust will get tiring on higher speed cruises. But I also want to be heard by car drivers, when I revv'd the KTM people moved and made me way whilst filtering.

@Kreeeee, Do you have any pics of your SV?

Looks lovely and clean I'd love a ride on one to see what they are like

We can swap for a short ride if you want, I don't mind. When I had a 125, anyone who suggested it or replied saying yes... we swapped. We would only use 'private' roads.

You'll have to wait till May, that's if I actually pass...

Cheap ebay winter gloves, sweaty hands guaranteed

It was perfect until some **** Audi TT driver rammed me at a set of red lights and wrote it off.

You'd love it wazza, it's all torque and great fun and legal speeds.

It's always the Audi drivers... they think they own the road..

That sucks... I know what you mean with the seller not caring, been there. :mad:

Type in YouTube: 'Suzuki SV650s, Comparison of Stock and Delkevic 225mm Stubby Exhausts.' "Fiore it oup"

Edit: How much would it cost to have a belly pan painted? I badly want a belly pan for my SV.

For the exhaust I narrowed it down to:

What... https://www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk/...+Silver+Belly+Pan+/+Spoiler&partNumber=20660C

Are they mad? I'll just get in touch with my mate to buy me one in Poland, painting will cost like 20 quid and the belly pan 40 quid. Not 140 lol...

Edit

@wazza300, I'm not really a fan of fake carbon wrap... On MowyTone's bike it looked nice, as the colour matched the colour of the bike.

I'm so bad at photoshop haha

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 15:12

I'm ordering the SS70, but it says on the page its not road legal in the UK. Hmm... how strict are the laws in regards to the exhaust db?

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 15:20

I've ordered THIS, can't wait to put it on. I'll post a video, the xiaomi has good inbuilt microphone so should work, if not I'll try to record it with S6.

Edit For the amount of money I wanted to spend on a exhaust, it'll cover all the mods I've on my list. Crazy, right?

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 15:25

They are short, open, crisp, and LOUD with the baffle removed but with neighbourhood friendly "db" levels with the baffle in. - See more at: http://www.delkevic.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=8710#sthash.ofbQ1rqn.dpuf

Haha, I lol'd so much at this.

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 15:33

I've a fresh MOT which is valid for 11 months, so I'll have time to get rid of that stamp if its there.

The bike will slowly look the way I want it, I can't wait to see it after I finish 'modding' it. I hope it doesn't come out 'chavy'

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 15:39

My car wasn't chaved up, it was all stock.

But I do agree, that a lot of teenagers chav their cars up. Put stupid loud exhausts on, on something that just simply doesn't go neither does it sound nice...

I wonder if that stubby willl spit flames, it should pop. But not sure about the flames... hmm?

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 16:12

Mine has a removal baffle, it'll most likely go out. But will see how loud it is, with it.

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 16:14

Yeah, but some exhausts are ridiculous... my mates stubby with a baffle in was louder than my sebring without a baffle.

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 17:05

Oi!

I bought a 7x5 plate, the exhaust will be here tomorrow. The2wheels F up on my delivery so that'll probably be here next week, hopefully shorties will be here next week too. The indicators should be here this week.

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 17:36

V-Twins at first seem brutal, the down bottom torque and engine braking is harsh at first.

But, considering how much you on about V-Twins and V4's you'll probably love it.

Kinda funny really. Had 3 interviews really. The 2 which I should've easily had I was unsuccessful and the one I thought I would apply for the hell of it I got!

Congrats! So does that mean more monyesss towards bikes?

I'll admit, I do love a v-twin I still remember my test ride on a monster 821 just after I'd passed my test for commuting and town riding a big lumpy v-twin isn't great, but for the open road...

When are you planning on buying the Tuono?

JunglistE said:
Oh of course it does. First up will be a GoPro next month. If only to film the complete idiots I see on the road.

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 20:39

There's an ohlins suspension on the forums, its so tempting... :rolleyes:

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 21:07

What's the difference in expensive crash pads and cheaper ones (from UK, not China)?

How many of you actually have them on your bike/s?

IC3 · 1 Mar 2016 at 23:27

Isn't it funny? My mate has 3 years NCB and I've 0 years NCB, the insurance quote for the SV comes out exactly the same... lol?
