I even managed 41 mpg!!! Frickin awesome for the SV!

Cant remember what i was last time i posted but since january when i was 16st 5lb and now ive got down to 13st 8lb im well happy! On a two week break from the ott dieting so enjoying it! But when i brought my leathers and they were tight and now there abit looser! Is a great feeling!

Happy birthday penn!

i owned this bike for 10 months while i was on L-Plates! Yamaha wr125x may '10 to march '11 £3899 brand spanker! good points! the type of bike! the super moto style made it or me the perfect bike, doing my test on it was great! so easy manoeuvring it! great handling! so much confidence in the corners! plenty of low down go for 125! bad points! the price! very expensive even though its a really good bike! top speed! it could apparently do 70mph! in its dreams 65mph on the flat was a reasonable speed sometimes it would do 70 and downhill i had just over 80 yes i would defiantly get another! just if it had my sv's engine it would be near on perfect! other comments; cant see why you would choose a yzfr125 over one of these! so much better! and look a lot bigger than a 125 should! great bike over all! no problems with mine and it was rode through winter and no real rusting, the old bolt but nothing bad! would really recommend this bike! its fantastic!

Suzuki SV650sK3 'restricited' i brought it at the end of March 2011 cost a bit under £3k ill start with all the bad points.. firsty, i was told that i wont be able to go on rides longer than 20 mins before my arms start killing, this is not true, when i first got the bike my arms would ache a bit after a long run but now there fine and its well over 120 miles before your arms ache but its nothing bad and by that time your neck has fallen off and is 20 miles down the road and your ass if part of the bikes structure another bad thing the suspension is really really soft!!! 'apparently'... i have no idea if this is true as ive gone from a supermoto style 125 to this and it seems fine to me in fact when you feel like youve gone past the point of no more grip and cornering ability it just seems to be quite solid and carries on round the corner no problem now the good points as they werent really bad! torque! for a restricted bike, when people say to you 'are your sure its restricted' its a good feeling and seems to pull away from the lights very well, ie; no car has beat me off the line yet! (V12 merc-benz couldnt beat me off the line) noise! with a standard can on, it to be fair did sound crap! but since ive had a bigger exhaust on its sounds awesome! doesnt sound loud enough to me, but people say 'yes we heard you coming' soo its not so bad yes i would defiantly get another! and recommend to anyone looking for a first big bike! other comments; suzukis apparently common for rusting.. not seen much of it on mine yet however it doesnt look like its done a winter yet so im a bit cautious about this winter and using it but we should be ok i will keep it until my restriction is up for sure as it is a great bike! and i love the low down grunt! but when i come to change bike i will look at more a naked style just for the seating position as i was on a 125 supermoto which was perfect! but i just needed this engine and looks but cant have everything! defiantly the best bike ive owned and really theres nothing that let it down in my opinion!

Oh great! It may stay on then!

im planing to change the tank pad on mine, is it just a case of heat the old one up and peel off and then polish the tank? as i want to keep the old one in good condition so i can get it scanned in and get a new pad made up by a mate

Definatly on a dry day! Bikes got dirty today!! clean it tomorrow

RIP too the both of them, great talents lost way to young, thoughts with family and friends.

ok so i did go on the ride after all despite the shite weather! was good fun though the 4 of us up from matlock to cat and fiddle then over snake pass bit slippery but still good

like i did say on my first post id go out so long as the weather is ok.. its raining here, AGAIN!! might be down matlock this evening if anyone does go up cat and fiddle have fun

not sure if ill be up cat and fiddle if its raining though ill go out somewhere later though http://www.matlockbathcam.co.uk/

Well ill be at matlock for 2 weather should get better through the day

I paid about 40 for mine! Bloody stupid price but worth it i guess

I thought long hill was good to! Roads maybe busy though.. Bank hol traffic

im up for anything although i need to re-fuel every 100 miles id rather meet up in matlock and then see what everyone wants to do

anyone up for a rideout to matlock bath then cat and fiddle or other way round on bank hol monday? or closer to the time see which day of the weekend has best weather cause no doubt itll rain monday well anyway ill be down cat and fiddle one day during the weekend so if anyone else is up for the ride let me no

next monday 8th, me and boothy are gonna head up there, anyone else up for it?

one just read this but i was there earlier

plenty of empty fields up north, they should accommodate us lot and our tents

i cant wheelie so i dont even try its got to be booked in for a service in a couple of weeks, its should be ok till then shouldnt it?

on my sv, when i rock the front of the bike of when pushing and i put the front brake on hard there is like a knock noise, is this the headstock bearing? or something like that? is it gonna kill me if i dont get it changed asap? and are they cheap?

looking for radiator and oil cooler covers for my sv650s... where is the best place to get them from?

no point in doing nurburgring while im on this bike when its faster i may do and yeah suppose thats the best idea, it will rain anyway, always does!
