Hi, all! I've been putting about $9,000 miles per year on my SV650 and it's been the perfect bike for my mixed highway/city commute... but it's getting old and I'm thinking an M696 might fill its shoes nicely and then some! So I'm here doing some research. Thanks for having me! [beer]
Welcome Rusty.
It's a great international community here, by the people, for the people.
Lots of sections to explore with tons of info and good bike shops as sponsors.
Cheers.
I miss my 03 sv650 and have been riding a Vstrom 650 for the past two years. Im currently searching for a 696 as well. Anything done to your sv?
My SV is pretty much stock other than the rear shock which was totally shot at only 15K miles. Rediculous how crappy that shock was, it's not like I'm heavy or had ridden 2 up before that.
