Title: I got a new bike...
Post by: Xevamir on December 15, 2014, 02:13:34 PM
I was able to stay within the same family as the GS (sorta).

2006 SV650 with 16K miles, GSXR 1000 forks, license plate relocated, and an ugly headlight/blinkers (I will fix that).

I love naked 2nd gen SV.  Had a fully clothed '07 that I was going to covert before I sold it.  Congrats it will be a nice transition from the GS.  Very similar ride - I find the GS smoother while the SV is more beastly.  Took me a while to get used to the low tank on the GS after riding with my nipples resting on the SV tank lol.

There is a guy in england making a triple clamp set that will bolt on to GSXR forks and the SV gauges
Look on svrider.com
Cool.

Thanks for the replies everyone. The GS is still parked in the back yard with the SV for now.  ;)

Thanks for the recommendation, Buddha! I will definitely have to check that out.

I had a silver 2002 "S" model. It's honestly the bike I miss the most.
