Well, to paraphrase Joe Pesci in "Goodfellas" here Grzegorz..."Whadaya mean it was a 'funny' ride? What?! Like it amused you or somethin'?"



Yep, actually I once took a friend's older SV650 out for spin a few years back, and yep, I thought it was a very fun bike, and would be a great first motorcycle for any newbie, and one that many newbies might never "outgrow"!


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

So Dwight what you are really saying here is this is an "entry level" bike Oh and you left out several F-bombs
Is that the Gladius?


It's not speeding till you get pulled over.

A 2001 SV650 was my first bike and I still miss it. I wish I had my SV and my America.

Ya know Don, keep talkin' like Steve here, and the next thing you'll be catchin' yourself doin' is posting stuff with all those little animated smiley dudes that bigbill turned him onto a while back!!!

(...to say nothin' about startin' to spell words using that dumb superfluous u!!!)
