What did you do to your bike today?

How much do you people think the new SV650A will cost? I hope they don't ask too much for a slightly refreshed bike that has been on the market for so many years...
Edit: The ER6F is actually pretty cheap, 2014 1980 miles with some goodies such as akrapovic and heated grips for 3.9k

Looks like someone'e been doing burnouts 
I had that bridgestone before the Angel GT's, the pirelli is sooooo much better. My old bridgestone squared right off, seems they all do that!!

yeah around £4500 to £5000, it has to compete with the MT07, and lets face it, Suzuki don't do expensive

What do you have? And when are you doing your MOD2?
Also, do you have other transport to go and look at bikes?
I have a 2012 KTM Duke 125, my MOD 2 is in 2 weeks.
And yeah i have my own car
Seems the most logical time to sell, i paid £2600 for it in August, i'll relist it for £2600 and take any offers from there!

Ahh, that's the most important thing - no good if you can't go and see bikes for sale!
May as well put it up for sale - what do you have in mind as a first big bike?

Indeed! I could always go and trade it in for what i want, but having the bike i want sitting there not being able to ride it, don't think i could do it ha!
At the moment i'm set on a ZX-6R but that may change one i have tried out a few, i'll be testing a ZX-6R, KTM Duke 690, CBR600RR, Yamaha MT-07, GSXR-600, CBR650F, ER-6F, basically going to test a mix between naked and sports to see what suits me best.
Almost got killed.
Outside lane at just under 70 on the A1 and some stupid old man didn't check his blind spot as he pulled into me. Despite me honking a revving, he continued and forced me right over almost on the white line. He moved back and boy did i let off some steam!!!
******* moron!!!!

Thoughts on swapping my CBF500 for an SV650S? Need something all-round for motorway and city filtering (that looks a bit nicer
The SV650 is a fantastic bike, I'd make the swap.
Be warned you'll probably find it quite uncomfortable to start with when doing slower speed stuff round down, the clip ons give a very different body position to the more sit up bikes.
Once you get used to that though it's a great bike.

Decat pipe turned up today for the Super Duke.
Removed the cat and weighed it.
Weighed the decat pipe..
Impressive weight saving there! Just over 4kgs. Saved a few kilos from the stock can too, should bring the wet weight under 200kgs now.
All fitted ready to fire up.. (Need to get shorter bolts for the clamps so I can turn them up out of the way.)
Short clip, as usual, clip doesn't do it justice, my ears were ringing (and she was none to happy either 'WTF was that racket?!'
) Bit of smoke from cold start, hence why I didn't give it too much beans.
Will do a flyby clip next, when I find a stretch of road where some roustabout won't nick my GoPro!
