I don't want to buy anything with that kind of setup. I want to buy a thing with a function, not a subscription.
Which bike would you get if you can't have the SV650? And why?

In the automotive world, an actual droplet needs to be forming for it to be covered under warranty. A seep is not enough.
Like, this is a leak:
This is what some people are complaining about:
I put over 80,000 miles on one of those. Only problem was the rectumfryer went bad. Good bikes.
Why did you sell (or do you still have it)? If you sold, was it just to experience other bikes (like the Duc you had)?I put over 80,000 miles on one of those. Only problem was the rectumfryer went bad. Good bikes.
A bit off topic from the thread but I did the thermostat, all the coolant and vacuum hoses, de-paired, de-Cali-emission'd it last Saturday. It was a brutal 12 hour day but well worth it, runs better than ever now.
Oh lord. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have a look!
Edit: Oh god! This was you! Jesus... will have a look this weekend
Lost rear sprocket whle riding.
How does this even happen? I was riding along, everything was going fine today, and then it wasn't. Felt like the bike jumped out of gear. I fiddled the shift lever and clutch, and only got rattles.

The 1980 XT500 is my around town/as far as the gas tank will take me bike and I absolutely love to throw it around in the twisties. When I first got the SV I had a horrible time until I figured out the blip and adjusted to the weight. My prior bike was and RD350 and you could pretty much throw that around as much as the XT. But once I figured out how to ride it I grew to love it almost as much as my XT.
So I've got the two bikes I NEED now imo but if someone was going to toss a new bike of my choice at me I'd probably go for the 660 as well. I never wanted to own another sportbike but everything I've read about Aprilla sounds like it could change my mind..
