New bike to go with the 8

Traded in the Silver SV650S for this bad boy. It is a 2003 Suzuki SV1000S. Man what a difference. I already put Yoshi Pipes, and stainless steel brake lines and put some sticky Dunlops on with a 190 in the rear, and the rear fender eliminater. What you think?

I've been thinking about getting one for the past 2 years, but I think I might finally break down this summer and get one. Motorcycle school is backed up like 3 months though.

I like the Sv's but they don't have a very good top end. I float past them on my 636. The low end torque is crazy though, but it is like that on all v twins, it just runs out of energy on the top end.

I am happy doing 150, that is fast enough for me, and I really don't have any problem getting up there. Thanks though, I like the SV's more then the GSXR's though, almost went with a 06 CBR1000RR but this one really caught my eye.

You thinking about doing a single pipe, or are you gonna stick to the duals?

Actually was just looking for the kit, cause a single pipe is exactly what I want. They look so damn good with a single.
