Title: Look what I picked up on St. Patty's day!

my first 4-cylinder motorcycle! Eyes, Feast!

It seems v-twin sportbikes are largely non-existent these days, with the exception of some italian bikes.  So this presented itself as a dilemma as I was looking for a replacement for my late SV1000S.  I would love to get another big twin some day, but dang this fireblade is most definitely the best handling bike I've owned yet!  Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to remove the shovel and some reflectors :-p

very sweet, I think the 03-06 cbr600rr is pretty much the best looking bike ever made, but I'd be more than happy to have one of these as well...

Honda makes the best looking street bikes now days.

Hmmm...debatable but the CBR 1000 in this year is a nice looking bike especially in yellow.

It is a very nice bike.  I actually really like the SV looks.
Why are you getting rid of reflectors?  They would help you at night.

Seriously?

I would remove them to clean up the look of the bike.  Now, I'm not one of these guys that removes his mirrors and puts armor-all on his tires(lol I've seen it done, not smart), but I will remove the reflectors since, I'm pretty sure my LOUD exhaust, lights, and bright riding gear will get me noticed  :thumb:
