 Sonny1's recommendation | |
Ease of use. This bike is just pure fun to ride. Easy and forgiving as you learn with plenty of acceleration when needed/wanted. Looks good too. Lots of add-ons available to personalize it.
Rear mud guard - change it for a tail tidy immediately - easy to fit even for a mechanical ignorant like me.
Pillions - comfortable enough but longer journeys mean a bit of work up and down the gear box due to power limitations.
Rear brake - can be a bit soft.
This is my first bike and I cannot recommend it highly enough for that. Great value for money. My best mate immediately traded in his bandit for one when he'd ridden mine for the day. He's owned everything from muscle bikes to R6's and he says its the easiest fast bike he's ever ridden. Great for fast twisties and Sunday blasts (which is what mine's for). Lots of bits to add if you want - my bikes gone from standard to the proud owner of tail tidy, belly pan, double bubble black screen, hugger and crash bungs in 3 months which have changed its appearance for the better (personal thing).
If you're new to Sportbikes get one of these on a test drive and you'll love it.
I am going to upgrade to the SV1000s as soon as I can for the extra power (only needed for pillions really though). Love it.
