Anyone have any info on the 2006 model? Colors, updates etc?

 

They just updated the bike for '05, so my guess would be nothing major.

They blacked out the frame and wheels and gave it a little windscreen which doesn't look entirely useful.

The SV is one bike you would probably be better off with a used example of. There are sooo many out there that got sold with low miles on them (like mine) that buying a new one would be a financial disaster comparitively.

 

brian doesnt buy used im guessin

You said what I was thinking.

Buying new vehicles, of any sort, is pretty stupid financially.

worst investment ever.

my mazda was new - that was idiotic. But I felt like i was having no luck with used cars.

 

Im in blacksburg VA. Buying used is hard.

 

cause NoVA is so far - and plus there is a place near radford that sells a bunch of used bikes.

i almost picked up an r6 down there.

DO IT!!!

 

Brian, buy Apocalypse/Chris' bike so that he can afford to go get the bike he wants.

 

I told him he can buy it from me in the spring. I need to wait until the '05 SV1KS hits the gently used market.

I love my bike and know I don't need a liter bike but I want a bit better suspension and a less beasty/more sexy bike....oh and I want to stay with a twin.

 

If you are going for more sexy why get a bike that pretty much looks exactly the same? Why not just pick up a 00-02 Gixxer 750 shock and have the forks revalved?

Because he rode my bike and is ready for a bit more power.

An all-black (including frame) with full fairings looks dramatically different than mine.

I am not modding any bike that I own other than maybe a few cosmetic changes and a pipe. I learned a very important lesson when I messed up my M by doing "fullproof" modifications that ended up being problematic in the end.

The power isn't an issue, my bike is plenty fast. If I could buy an all black 650 with a better OEM shock I would.

 

Bah, toss the lowers on yours and bust out the Krylon

And the gixxer shock should only cost $40 on eBay! 636 shocks work well also

Brian
-who probably won't mod his, but can always think about it

 

That reminds me... my fender eliminator is in. I can finally get rid of the redneck version of off-center metal strapping mine has.

Sigh... another statement by Brian indicating that he wishes he had a REAL bike, like my 600rr j/k

 

Shut it Col. Sanders
