SV Model differences?

I agree- the earlier frame is really quite nice, I prefer the rounded
look rather than the angularity of the new frame. And if the web page
I looked at is to be believed, the new frame is 'honeycombed' on the
inside, and is not covered over, which I imagine would collect all
sorts of shite.

DUDE! What's it SAY?!

 

is it only me that's being completely *whoooshed* by this thread?

if you say so.

 

I'm quite amused by the people who have got it.

 

well, what's it from then? I'm sort of guessing South Park, or some
other shite...

 

No. My guess is that it *may* be quotes from Dude, Where's My Car[1].

[1] I've never seen it, but I remember seeing the trailer it on
Sky last year and thought it looked like it would be absolutely
shite.

 

I thought of that too, but I credited people with more taste.

Stupid, really.

 

No, /you/ are.

 

yes, that's what I said.

 

Well, I've just been outside and given mine a feel [1] and can say that
although it is sectioned as per the photo, it has collected next to no
grime at all [2]. Must be well protected by other components, engine etc.

[1] don't, just don't.

[2] 5,000 miles, all weathers not even a dirty finger to show for the
effort.

I still think the new frame and the whole "Sporty, sharp-edged styling"
looks naff as ****, like a cheap plastic kiddie toy.

But I would *love* to have the new fuel injection and engine management
system, not that I have any problems with the carbs now, after switching
the pilot jets from #15 to #17.5.

Of course if some doddery rich dimwit decided to give me a new SV, I'd
certainly not turn it down...

 

I got it. I loved that bit.

 

I actually prefer the look of the new one, but there's not much point in
arguing preferences... Funnily enough, I didn't really think of it as
'sportier styling' just more angular.
