Where did you get it at that price?!

Yes it does look as good!

 

[chomorro]

Yea the thief's stopped mid way apparently and didnt get in. They just broke a bunch or door parts and dented my front hood and fender for no reason...... So its costing me a lot just to repair it .


Cliff i just got lucky, someone on svrider bought it and totaled their bike and it didnt fit their new bike. I know people say they cant tell the difference with one but i definitely can. im glad i got one

AHaha i actually tried to record it because it sounds soooooo nice. But it doesnt come out well with a hand held camera because most of the sound is deep rumbling bass. I will try it again with a camcorder and see if that works.

It sounds like a Harley Street bike on steroids lol. Very original sound. Initial start up is like firing up a big block v8, i actually have to start it and run down the alley in nuetral so not to piss off all my neighbors.

 

[Motogiro]

Doesn't sound like a Harley..sounds like a Duc!!!!

YEA thats what i meant lol. Couldn't think of a comparison.......

This is what it sounds like sort of. Mine is deeper and has a crisp sound to it. Sounds gooooood when accelerating

I didnt want logos on mine though, i like the clean look better.

I should be available next Sat.

You'll enjoy Catalina if you haven't gone yet. Take a boat from Dana Point?

That's what Lisa and I did.

Sweet bike!

Its a much more hunched over position but not terribly uncomfortable. The oem clipons put too much pressure on the outer palms of my hands but i fixed that with Helibars (oem is angled down, helibars are more straight out). I may try the oem ones again once i have put a lot of seat time on the bike.

Compared to the fz6 with an fz1 bar its slightly more hunched over but foot pegs feel the same.

Just go here Motorcycle Ergonomics and enter your info and both bikes and you can see the exact difference

Kind of makes me miss my SV650 and the wonderful noise the Delkevic exhaust produced, hate the FZ6 stock and can't afford pipes yet, your SV1K looks great though!
