Corrected for you

Is Supermofo a salad dodger ?

Dunno, but I am these days, I weigh 40% more than I did when I was racing, it's why I need a 750 to haul my fat arse around.

I'll keep my gob shut

Cracking bikes, i'd have another in a heartbeat.

You sold the one you had, you said it was too fast for you.

Yeah that wasn't necessarily my best move

There's no point me denying it, I've also got really cautious riding a bike on the road, I'm old, fat and my bottle has gone, but I'm happy, so who gives a crap.

I'm struggling a little with it aesthtically, at the back end mostly as you'd expect. But it has the QS/Blipper which is a benefit and bonus in my book.



But mostly i think i could like with that.

I also notice they've got rid of the back headers, which means you're instantly better off as they were garbage quality of coating.

I'm in two minds about the looks, it screams crashed early EXUP streetfighter, the black one looks better.
It'd look better with a half fairing similar to an early FZ750

No. I meant that I'm 3 stones heavier than my racing weight.

The GSXR copes very well

Loser, I'm 4 stones heavier, and I only weighed 10 stone 30 years ago

I'm not sure i'd left junior school before being past that.

Dunno I'm not too bad I don't think, I was 12.5 st when I was 28 and playing football/exercising regularly and I'm 13.3 st this morning at 45 yrs old. I could probably do with losing half a stone and losing a bit of me gut but not too worried.

Like LFG though my riding is much more cautious these days but also like him I'm happy about it

I was more like 9 stone when I left school in 1983, I had the fastest restricted moped in mid Suffolk, I think I now know why, I was a racing snake.

Having gained weight through regular feeding after getting married, at one point I could claim that 1/3 of me didn't actually attend the ceremony and could therefore do what it liked. Wife said 'Fine, as long as it leaves the other 2/3 at home'.

That is quite hard on the eyes. It looks like no effort was made at styling and they used whatever was handy. Crashed EXUP nails the look,plus that seat....

If you imagine a tail tidy on it, it don't get much better coz of that seat. First one looked best.

It'd look better with a cowl over the rear section of the seat, I reckon.

Twat

This is what I wanted

I'm pretty sure someone will be selling a really sorted SV650 at some point in the not too distance future.

Cool little box on the headstock. Anyone know what it's for?
