So both the gixxer and the tiller I was looking at ended up selling really fast (they were so cheap..) and I missed out. I did end up getting a great deal on a 2003 sv650s though, so I am happy!!!

I'm not crazy about the colour... I want to paint it and get lowers for it. Either the factory sv lowers or some nice race glass and paint it all up.. I'm thinking silver with pink flames







The other two bikes are my boyfriend's 2003 Honda CBR RR street bike (the black bike) and his 2002 Honda F4i race bike (silver bike).

And just so we are clear, that is NOT my riding gear, those are my pajamas.. I wear sidi vert 2 riding boots, not white fuzzy slippers :nana:  

... also, please ignore my horrible helmet hair!!!

A beautifull girl in a roomfull of nice shiny bikes in her pajama's...


Does life get any better than that?

I kid,

congrats!

that last pic would make an awesome background if it were a higher resolution... *cough... cough...*

I like your new bike.   Even the color.  Looking a bit stock though. . . You'll have to do something about that.

I drove through Vancouver twice in the past 7 days.  Once at night.  Once during the day.  Beautiful city.   Just amazing.  

Went to Whistler/Blackcomb.   :x  
But night life in the village?    
Lonestar, Dublin's Gate, et al.

looks great... congrats  

Give us the rundown after you got in some miles... I can see myself on the SV one day

Yeah it's all stock aside from the pipe.. which is actually really nice! Makes the bike sound sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Previous owner bought this bike new from the dealership, it's still under warranty and everything. He gave me all the receipts and he paid like $1,200 for that pipe! The only other thing he did to it was chop the fender off and install these funny little turn signals which don't even fit now that the pipe is on because it's a high mount.



See you can see that the signal on the right side just like hangs down now that the pipe is there!  

Meighan....nice choice in bikes....Congrats on your new toy. The color is not bad at all. It is pretty unique and I think it even looks good with you on the bike.

Don't worry about the riding gear....I wear the same fuzzy boots and wind flapping pants every day when I ride. Makes me even more comfy.

I hope you will still visit from time to time and let us know how things are going with the new bike.  

JMV (www.eurobikes.com) makes some nice lowers for the SV...otherwise there are the factory lowers, but they kinda look funny, some other companies make lowers too, but I forget who

........by the way what's wrong with having the faster copper color (see my avatar)....hope to be seeing you around the SV forums.....

Yes those eurobike fairings are very fancy... but they are also like double the price of the factory lowers, and i don't think the factory lowers look all that bad!!!

Anyway, right now I can't afford to do a whole lot to it.. I'm already in debt on my line of credit for the bike it's self, and I'm having a hell of a time trying to get insurance sorted out... you can read about that whole fiasco on my local sportbike forum...

I've already joined svrider, people there seem nice!

lol I will try to get a sound clip of it!!!

I won't forget about you guys

hey don't forget about my higher res desktop pic!

Yes, the rear end does need adjusting doesn't it. Cleaning up the fender may require removal to gain access to all that you need. A file or sanding block would do wonders for the ratty pieces left from the cut.

Right on about those turn signals. The SV is too nice a bike to have that left that way. I know you will make it right.  

Goood choice! I may get a new SV after wearing a lot of the rookie off with the GS. That is after I get kids out of college!

You can slap on a Hotbodies Undertail for less than $200 (click HERE!!!!)....I did, and it really cleans up the ass end of the bike....just be glad you didn't get fully stock bike with the MASSIVELY ugly rear fender.....it's 10 times more of an eyesore then the GS rear fender is.....

BTW....nice pipe.....you'll really enjoy that....now all you gotta do is perform a snorkelectomy......maybe slap in a PCIII.....change the fork fluid and springs.....get some new brake lines....upgrade the rear shock (GSXR 1K)....and you'll be ready to roll.....

that undertail kit??? looks good... 'cept they don't have the copper?

and what the hell is a snorkelectomy  

Oh lol I didn't see that ebay link. Blonde hair strikes again....

yes....you can get it in copper....see my SV gallery HERE!!!


a snorkelectomy is where you take out that elephant trunk looking piece  (snorkel) from the front of your airbox.....then you drill in some additional holes to allow for more air to get in....then you shim up the gas tank via Chewy's Tank Spacers....you can actually get these and some longer bolts at your local hardware store....

How bright are the turn signals?? I want to make sure people see them...

Quote from: MeighanOh lol I didn't see that ebay link. Blonde hair strikes again....

yeah....lots cheaper on ebay.....you can also go to www.hotbodiesracing.com

well....I think they're bright enough....my wife disagrees......but either way you're gonna have some problems with the high-mount blocking the right signal.....
....the other thing you can get is the clear alternatives integrated brake light kit.....around $100....then you just get any undertail (targa, comp. werkes, hotbodies etc.).....just take your time....there's no real rush....
