Here is mine:

03 Plate Suzuki Sv 650s K2. It's done 10.6k miles, the previous owner had it just sat in the garage for 8 months as he had got a new bike. Brake lever is broke on it but he chucked in one with it. It comes with an alarm system and its alpha dotted too! 12 month MOT, no tax. Picked it up for £1100!! Bargin!!!

Just recently fitted the restrictor kit, cleaned the air filter and gave it a nice polish as you can see in the picture, a big smile from me!

my new bike

almost run in now, I've done 3 150 mile days over the weekend so only allowed 50 more until the first service next week

she's already mischievous on half throttle lowish revs

@ DanF

Man that thing is lush, more piccies please, more piccies quickly !!!!

That looks fantastic Dan. I like that tiny wind deflector as well, as my biggest gripe about the Street Triple R is the damn bug-eye headlights. But with that small wind deflector, it makes them look at lot more fitted

yeah the wind deflector really works on the new lights, makes it look like a little transformer

I prefer the round lights version with no deflector.

Looks like "The Fly" with Jeff Goldblum

Fantastic looking bike that, I'd have that in my front room as an ornament.

Would a mat gold heat shield for the can look good? :confused:

DanF · 5 Jun 2012 at 12:45

Think I'll look for some 2nd hand arrows for it in a couple of months as they suit it really well. Here's the test bike I had which I think also looks great but I've had a red bike before.

My project RS125 I picked up on Saturday for a good price, always wanted one and this one came up on my radar only up the road. Rough around the edges but runs and rides well.

First job is to Pre-MOT it, book it in and then sort out all the problems and give it a damn good service.

Cracking! Gotta love 2 strokes.

I want something similar to thrash about on, wouldn't mind a 250 though tbh.

How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

pugheaven · 5 Jun 2012 at 19:22

@2Thumbs Liking that Grey colour, very sweet that is... nice bike, looks in good nick!

2Thumbs · 5 Jun 2012 at 21:57

It looks better from a distance.

Missing bolts, and a missing fairing piece are only scratching the surface of the cosmetic niggles. It is a nice colour though, I'd love to know what it was so I could consider re-doing it.

Arctine, £400.

arctine · 5 Jun 2012 at 22:03

Arr no fair! I want one.

Speaking of 2 strokes, hope you don't mind me putting a couple of my brothers builds on here.

SUZUKI RGV 250 (far from standard btw)

Built from scratch, and they don't get ridden much. It's amazing how grubby they can get just being stood though.

He does an amazing job but he's never happy with them.

I was about to say, the only time i ever saw an elsie look that good was when it was brand new. He has done a cracking job, must be worth a bob or 2 in that kinda nick.

That 250 Gamma is awesome.
