Here's my '06 SV650S. She has 60,000 miles, 40,000 of which I did myself. She runs strong and has never let me down.

Picked it up off craigslist here in LA for a mere $3,000 back in 2012.

 

My HD48 will be 10 years old next year. I've only had it 1.5 years and it will be paid off next Spring. I have no interest in a bigger bike so I think I might overhaul the suspension with these upgrades:

Would also like to repaint tank metal flake red, bob the rear fender, bolt on a new S&S intake, and manage it with the V&H Fuelpack.

Dreaming is free.

 

Mine is denim red. The Fuelpak is nice. I still need to try the autotune

 

I'm not sure where my Himalayan falls into this, not quick, not fast, but it is fun.

 

What's the top speed on one of those

 

54 with my fat ass on it

 

I bought my cbr1000rr brand new back In 2004. Still in my garage rode it one time last summer and crashed on it. The first day i took it out low sided it. But was 100% my brothers fault dummy put wd40 on the chain which splattered all over the back tire first turn ass end came out before I knew what happened. No damage to me. Bike suffered minimal damage.
Now I need to pull the forks for new seals. But been procrastinating on that.

 

Me and you aren't that too far off I'm 6"2 and 250lbs

 

I have seen 57 with a tailwind.

 

60mph, full tuck, downhill, with tailwind. Boom, bitches

 

Nice! The SV is a great bike. I need to ride mine more...I’ve had my ‘08 going on 4 years and it still only has 3800 miles on it

Fun is what this is all about !

 

Popped the new Mustang Revere Solo seat on and WOW what a difference! Shifted my butt back just enough to ease up the pinch in my left hip. Much more comfortable. The rear lip keeps my butt planted and I don’t feel like I’m going to fly off when I accelerate.

 

You selling it to me when I move out there?

 

We shall have a drag race when I move out there

 

@uurx pick this up, and then race @w.adventures

Finally got the cb750 back on its wheels after doing the fork seals, new tires, new exhaust, and the whole front brake system. Need to fill and bleed the brakes still and a few other small things.

 

Wait a second, that would mean I would have to leave the grom with you.

 

I love the older bikes. A friend is selling an '83 Ascot 500, sadly I jut cant make it happen.
