hey all. got my first bike a few years ago, a 2005 SV650, and decided something a bit bigger and comfier without too much dad bike vibes would be great for longer trips. went looking and scored this poor neglected '99 for a song which i'm currently in the process of bringing back to life. really happy i found this site, nothing scratches the same itch as the forums of yesteryear.
