In their words, the chain is f*****! After 2,000 miles. The sales guy at Riders Bridgwater who sold me the bike either got mine confused with someone else's, or they were pulling a fast one knowing I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Considering that I paid about £500 over market value for the bike, this strikes me as being pretty stingy to say the least. I won't be going back for my new bike next year - VJs will get my business.

As for sticking the speed limit - I think after a few months on it um you will show judicious judgement on that score:-D Don't worry about the mid-life crisis thing - if that was your schtick it would be a hardley dabbleson, not a bike that's regularly called a "girl's bike". Be smooth on the throttle, progressive on the clutch and gentle on the front brakes - best of luck. The SV is a brilliant little bike - endlessly entertaining.
