Well, how's this. All the people at work call my 3 hard bag equipped ST
a croch rocket. So according to them, you already have a sport bike!

Better yet, race tech the front, ohlins the rear, loose the luggage, go
back to somewhere around 1985-1990, and you would likely be the class
leader of the litre bikes.

Anyway, my next issues are going to come in the form of the leaked '03
SV1000 and hopefully SV1000S :-)

I have always wanted to own a twin. 

BTW, Did the valves yesterday, definately a doable do it yourself job!
