[QUOTE="Aasland, post: 745042, member: 14773"] I figure I'll share too: This is my wife's 2001 SV650. Since this photo was taken we have added an Ohlin's shock and had GP suspension put the internals of GSXR750 into the forks and machined the caps to allow for preload and rebound adjusters. [IMG]https://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt134/Norskie_photos/FJR%20Forum%20Photos/SV650_1.jpg[/IMG] And here I am learning how to use the new suspenion at [URL="https://web.me.com/jessicaz310/Site_2/_.html"]Zalusky Advanced Riding School[/URL]. [IMG]https://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt134/Norskie_photos/FJR%20Forum%20Photos/21017801-DSC_6334.jpg[/IMG] Incidentally, since we're talking about Magna's .. wifey had a 1995 VF750 prior to the SV650 which she regrets selling: [IMG]https://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt134/Norskie_photos/FJR%20Forum%20Photos/Magna.jpg[/IMG] It's blue because I crashed it once and had to repaint it. Cobra slipons with a K&N and the DRP jet-kit - this bike really hauled ass. Suspension left a lot to be desired, and when she was ready to move improve her skills the bike was holding her back, so we got her the SV. She does great on the track, and the instructors have pulled me aside to tell me to "ride like her" because she's doing things (body position, head swivel, etc) right. Turns out her main mental block with street riding is sand/gravel in the corners so she doesn't use the SV as intended. Whenever a Magna pops up on Craigslist ... she harbors dreams of finding another. Hmmm... Imagine if Honda put out a new VF1200C as their answer to the VMax ?? Hmm... nah, will never happen as most of the profits for Honda are in selling 150cc bikes in China, India and Indonesia. [/QUOTE]
