650F?

Enjoy dude!

Just read through the thread, I like what you have done with your Yamaha. You got a more up to date picture of it all put together with the clipons etc?

[mopman94]

Bought this today to go with the new bike next month.

Yessir I do! And thanks most people gloss over my bike because it isn't a fast SS. It's an awesome bike for commuting and when you add the clip ons, it's still practical but corners like no other. I'll nab some more pictures for you after I add a few more goodies to her. I have to do some tire and rim work before I get those posted though.

Also guys my insurance rates got cut by about 33% this year :D

It's an awesome helmet, I spent ages in the store looking at all of the different designs but went for that one in the end even though it was £10 ($15) more expensive. I have the black tint visor but also the clear visor because tinted visors are illegal in the UK, the police just don't tend to mind as long as you don't use them at night, but they can, of course fine you if they want for it.

I bought the helmet to use at weekends because my current helmet that I use all year round had gotten pretty beat up from stone chips etc in the winter. My other helmet is the Shark Speed R:

My insurance on the new Honda will cost £1300 ($1980) for the year, I am paying £500 ($761) on my current 200cc KTM. Insurance in the UK is expensive and that is despite me having a full license for two years and doing further advanced training. Simply because I am only 20 years old its expensive.

I look forward to seeing the pictures of the bike. They aren't slow bikes by any means, the problem with adding something like an exhaust in the UK is that because it adds a couple more HP you have to tell your insurance company who will count it as a modification and charge you more.

Ouch. I'd be really hesitant to pay that much for insurance unless it was on a liter bike.

Reporting exhaust mods is BS. The performance difference is so negligible IMO. I just love the sound and look of a new can. I mean how can anyone resist the beauty of an Akrapovic or Yoshimura can?

[DLM_012]

The weight savings of a full system like I have is also nice

[GhostWindGamer]

damn I feel left out because I don't have a picture of my helmet

[RWT98]

Not Sure if this counts but heres my 2015 KTM 250

[DLM_012]

So imma have my bike paid off in about 2 more months. Much excite. Not gonna buy for probably at least another year as I'll be working on paying down student loans but I'm eyeballing a S1000R, Tuono V4R, or a FZ09 really hard. Being realistic, the FZ09 is the more probable option

Here is my 2012 Yamaha yzf-r6 World GP 50th Anniversary edition from when I got it till now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was not the best rider when I got it but I improved. 7 years riding and no crashes.

[Kyle86GT]

I'll add to this.

Currently on a 2013 CBR500R.  Only thing done to it is a Leo Vince full carbon fiber exhaust and I painted the heat shields/black fairings white. 

 

 

 

Debating on upgrading to a super sport or a sport touring. I really like the new VFR 800 and the BNG's on the 2015 GSX-R... Just not sure if I wan't the stigma with owning a Gixxa Brah. 

[redhalo626]

My bike and I.

@redhalo626 I don't expect you to have lost that in the parking lot

Was the battery on a charger in storage? It's probably gone flat.

nar its not battery its on a maintenance charger, its either the spark plugs (its been outside all winter) or fuel pump as when it fails to turn over I cant smell any fuel from the exhaust, or its just not igniting

What year is your SV?

[ShadowCaptain]

Ooo a first gen! So you have carbs correct?

uhh..maybe? I think so

 

(I know nothing at all about cars or bikes other than how to use them ...at great speeds)

Im 99% sure that 03 was the first year of the second generation models and 04 was the first year of fuel injection.

 

I would bet you have a gummed up carb (or both) from sitting around all winter. What is your winterization procedure?
