I am ghey
OK, if anyone doesnt know PC is looking to get a sv, and my pig has been hit by a cop... i was thinking about replacing the pig for something a lil less maintance intensive, like say an R1 or zx-10, then i got to thinking, why not just pick up a sv? if she has one and i have one, making sure we have spare parts will be twice as easy, and (no i am not saying take parts from her bike to put on mine...)the tire life is alot longer on the 650 then the 51. thoughts, opinions, banter from the peanut gallery
yes i know its a step down, but oh and the insane gasmilage they get |

Straight homo. You know you don't want to sell the RC, but for PC to have a bike also, it is worth it.

If you have to ask then you already know the answer.....
How about an SV1000? Not sure how many parts are interchangeable with the SV650. |

yeah, but sometimes your just not in a postion to go through tires, chains, sprokets left and right
I make a whole whopping $800 a month right now in grad school, budget is tight and 50mpg>30 mpg, getting 8,000 miles out of a set of pp instead of 2k would be nice and im looking at bikes already set up |

my thing is i love raping the big pig, i was just starting to really feel comfortable with it and 20k miles later i was finally settling down and getting to know its nooks and crannies, am i going to hate moving down to a sv? TN is full of twisties and great roads, its not OH where its straight and fast, here its curvy and fast... so many diffferent options
heard they were heavier and not that much faster then the 650, plus if i was going to go for the sv1000, why not just keep the rc? |
