Nice bike, I got mine last week and I think is one of the most iconic bikes around , the sound of the engine and exhaust gives you goosebumps 😁 keep up !!!
I'm assuming Sth. Africa not that it's relevant. The best SV1000 vid. I have watched. It gives a true sense of what the bike is about. Thank you. I wonder what it's like plonking about town? I'd be interested to know.
It gets a bit hot plonking around town in the summer, but none the less it's a very civilised bike in an urban setting. The power it has in low revs gives it the ability to move quickly when asked, and it's also narrow, leans well, and has good brakes. The only criticism is wrist pain with the oem clip on bars. I had mine raised, but this isn't the cheapest mod. Mileage is reasonable if you don't race between lights. Still, the engine is a work of art. I've tried all the latest 4s, but even though they have more power at higher revs, the riding experience does not compete. The SV is a great bike. Get a good one with the stator magnets done, and if possible with the clutch chudder mod.
I thought this bike was illegal in France with 100+BHP at the back wheel, no ABS, traction control, power modes, electrical witchcraft? I'll assume the rules have changed for locals and take my bike out again in a few weeks just to check :-), (k7 with more than a few mods, thankfully nothing electric!)
Just watched your video again. Love it. Takes me out of this wet, depressing British day. Thank you.
Although I have this very bike, I am sitting at work right now, so I will play this video and dream until after work comes!
Always thought the SV was one of the nicest sounding machines out there. Got an 07 with dual Yoshis. Thing sounds like pure sex.
You're doing something wrong then: "Pure Sex." Hmm.

@@warrenhalpin Thank you. That's most informative and good to hear inview of the fact that I'd contemplated raised, straight bars and no fairing.
WoW man what a sound.
Those are tall gears!

Salut ! Qu'à tu utiliser pour enregistrer le son ? C'est juste la GoPro ?
What exhaust are you running?
