My name is Danny and I'm happy to say that I, as of 2 hours ago, am the proud owner of an '03 Silver Naked. Out here on the East Coast we're expecting a bit (5-8")of snow so I won't be taking it home for a couple of days.....he just wouldn't throw in snow tires with the deal. Anyhow, I want to say thanks to all of you here for providing a ton of great info and helping me make this choice. The darn bike has 1952 miles, is bone stock except for an exhaustectomy, frame and rear axle sliders and has one little rub mark on the front fender. I Got it off CL and paid $3700......the seller was firm and I rightfully could not blame him. No way was I going to leave without this gem. I presently have a wonderful '08 Tiger ABS which I love but I yearned for a light and flickable bike. As a matter of fact I'm a shortish fella (5'8") and was never truly at home with the tall and kinda heavy Tiger. I might keep both but if I feel the SV is all I need I'll be selling the Tiger......6500 miles and more farkles than I can remember without thinking hard.
Thanks again to all. This is quite a wonderful place.
