Oh man, congratulations. That looks like a proper banger. Totally love these and I've wanted one for ages, but opposite to you, I just didn't get along with the riding position.
So many mods available too. Definitely get a new pipe. The original really mutes the lovely pop these can make.
Congrats again, now the proper fun begins, and don't forget life savers.

It does make a cracking sound but agree on the can muffling it. Little twists of the throttle when we were parked up had it making a sweet purr but out on the road I couldn’t hear much from him which isn’t ideal from a safety perspective. That or I just can’t hear anything else coz inline 4 under me.

Picked up my first bike on Sunday!
Went down to Winchester to have a look at a SV650S. Had a look around and it seemed okay. It had definitely been dropped at some point. Sat on it and immediately didn’t want it. I’m sure I would have gotten used to it but it was a no from me.
Decided to go to a cafe after and search autotrader, eBay etc for nearby or near home bikes. Found one not too far from south London so went and had a look.
This is where I’d like to thank @PhilDAS for carting me around all day on the back of his bike.
Went and saw a Kawasaki ER6F in Bexleyheath. It was clean, had a few scratches but all round a good example. Sat on it and rode it down the road. I wanted it! Gave the bloke some money and I was on my way. Absolutely love it!
