Now everyone knows my dislike for Hondas, and I'm sorry Mr Honda ya may have put some Aussies up there in the racing scene, but, basiclly ya bikes suck, ya electronic's are totally and utterly unable to weather a small shunt, and the prices of new electronic's well lets just say its nearly cheaper to leave the bike and go buy a new one. example after example after example I have witnessed, yes crashed, but far from rightofffs, but time and time again not long later fried efi computer, fried H.I.S. system fried charging system. It does not end there, cause a new H.I.S. System reguires all new keys and locks, (Petrol tank helmet lock etc.) new battery to go along with the new charging system alternator, reg. Efi computer now this is the killer, and a couple of sencors that it always manages to knock out, in its fry up. And not once have I ever heard of the insurance company coming to the party and putting it under accident damage. So if she goes get one, and god forbid she has a off of someone knocks her down take the writeoff option. I've seen bikes with just minor body damage, yet within a month all of the above, and again stressing not just once. yet I'm happy to ride repaired writeoff suzuki's and kawasaki's, even yamaha's. ut I do like the sv's in fact I love the early sv650's now they where fun.
