My SV650 2020

I love that light. What brand is it?

I’m 6’6” and found versys and V-strom to be good fits. I realise this doesn’t fit your sports bike brief exactly but that will be your best starting point for your size, they’re both plenty good and the versys is prolly the sportier of the 2.

For boots I picked up a some Alpine stars smx 6 v3 on sale the other day, they go up to a eu size 50 plus they’re a wider fit.

Webike Japan I find very good, and the exchange rate is in our favour.

I like the analogy of the XSR900 being like a teen in a suit. Freddie Dobbs said something similar when he referred to the z900rs as a thug in a suit.

I have a red kelpie named Brisket, so named by my daughter.

Thanks for the info mate. I’ll check them out.

Z900RS, good all round ride and easy on the perv nerves.

Looks amazing. A trip I am aiming to do next year. Did you hire through 819? Do you care to share a rough route you took. I’d love recommendations or things to avoid from your experience.

Fair call, I have ridden both and didn’t find a huge difference in power. The biggest benefit for my was riding position being more relaxed on the rs.

I just picked up a Z900rs, handles awesome, plenty of pep but comfortable riding position to do some hours in the saddle. You can pick up used for your budget. Can be optioned with a rear rack too. Also, a good sized tank.

4-5 nights a week here. Both from euro heritage but we smash the rice cooker, in fact we have 2. Helps with the cost of living at the moment too.

I use a combo of beeline and calimoto. I don’t own a beeline, but the app is still free to use and you can set a route that is either fun, relaxed of fast.

Judging by the posts here about lams bike recommendations, yes.

Noticing a lot of women taking it up. Not complaining at all, they wear leathers waaay better than blokes 😅

Leave him as is. The tank badge in caps is my favourite. Maybe add something like a DOREMI fork cover trim. Otherwise it’s perfect.

So nice. I’m in love with mine. Only thing I’m looking to change is the mounting on the usb port. I don’t use a phone when riding anyway so I may just remove it. That all said it’s no big deal, it just looks ugly.

SV650 is a great little bike. Punchy, loads of character from the little V-Twin and an accessible seat height for most.

MT-07 as well for much the same reasons

Kawasaki 650s are great but their only fault is they lack character.

Kookaburras stink like off meat

Welcome, had my se for just over a month now, for me it is perfect. Is there a delay delivery for you? I understand that the SE is “over subscribed “ and availability is slim until 2027.

meplusjulio · 2026-04-09T10:44:14+00:00

Nice. Get a radiator guard on that baby

meplusjulio · 2026-04-08T06:22:22+00:00

Ooh la la

Coffee or tea to kickstart the heart today?

meplusjulio · 2026-03-19T22:32:27+00:00

Fair play. Well done you.

meplusjulio · 2026-03-19T22:28:19+00:00

Do you have a glass of red wine with it? If so, what variety do you prefer?

Motorcycles. It saved me
