I chat on a few BBSs. One in regards to a Porsche I am trying to restore, one regarding of course my SV, and one regarding modding my daily driver Miata. I have noticed that many guys on the Miata BBS have pointed out the high high numbers of guys on the Miata site who also have SVs. I have never seen it mentioned here. Their debate over on the miata site is that this is a popular combination b/c nowhere else can you get as much sport bike bang for your buck as with a SV and nowhere can you get as much sports car bang for the buck as with the Miata. With about $3500 in bolt on mods I now have a Miata that is a Mustang, Camero, 350Z, etc...eating machine (in the first 3 gears anyway). Vise versa with less than half that amount in mods I have a SV that I think handles and rides better than many much more expensive bikes out there. Does anyone on here also have a MX-5 much like many on the Miata sites have SVs. I chat as coolbeverage there incase any of the guys from the Miata sight have made it over here as I have encouraged them to. PS....the folks on this site are far more cool, less arrogant, concerned and fun to chat with than either of the other two sites I go to. SVRider rules.....
