Gotta agree with vegas and JB here, guys.
Look at it this way....If you wanted to buy a modern reliable mid-size bike that handles well, is reasonably priced, and has pretty good power for it's size, you'd buy a Suzuki SV650.
BUT if you did, you wouldn't find yourself in the garage every few days just ogling the machine, and thinking about how often someone comes up to you, smiles, and says something like..."Now that is how a motorcycle is SUPPOSED to LOOK!"
That's why we put up with the cheap-a$$ rear shocks, the poor front Nissin brake, the uncomfortable stock saddle, and the "sewing-machine" sounds that those stock exhausts emit.
WE KNOW that a truly CLASSIC and classy bike's heart beats under all those little niggles.
You could spend thousands on making that SV650 an even better bike too, but you'd only end up with just another non-descript machine(but a nice one, none the less...YAWN!)
