Get him lower and buy it. Get the parts and host a garage day( pizza and beerz ) and get a few of us over to put her back together. I'd be down for that. I've have an 06 SV650S myself so I know them abit. I doubt we could get Mr. Awesome down but you never know.
Get the SV if the price is right. You'll love it. If not it'll sell fairly easy. Don't worry about power. Itll be more than enough. Dubguy. Ima let you slide on your comments today.
I feel what you're saying. Everytime one of these schemes came out I knew I wouldn't qualify. Oh wells. I guess being responsible and already doing the right thing is reward enough.
