Which bike would you get if you can't have the SV650? And why?

I never wanted to own another sportbike but everything I've read about Aprilla sounds like it could change my mind..

Get a test ride, your mind will be made up right then, I predict.
Worked for me and a V twin Tuono.

I wish they had put that motor into something more useful, maybe someday they will.

You mean like the brand new, released at the same time, VStrom 800? 🤔

@golden chicken … brand new off the dealer lot, there shouldn’t even be a SEEP. Matter of time before it gets bigger.

Yeah....I read about the RS when it first came out but have been looking into the Touno and it sounds like something I'd really like. Maybe by the time they start showing up in the used market I'll be ready for a new ride!

I put over 80,000 miles on one of those. Only problem was the rectumfryer went bad. Good bikes.

I had a rectifier go out on my 929 around 40k going up 104 towards 395. We had just passed Pine Crest and I coasted back down to town and a dude was right along 104 w/ a big ass sign in his yard "Motorcycle Repair". Christ was I happy. We ended up having mutual friends in the bay and he hooked me up for the rest of the ride. Blessed and all that
