I wouldn't float that sort of wedge on something I'll throw at the scenery.
That's a statement to live by that. Currently doing some long term work on the SV and same thing ran through my head. Had a chance to buy late plate Daytona 675, but it was...too clean. I'd hesitate to wring it's neck just in case. SV brings me joy, but I know much about it now to know when it begins to be unhappy so don't mind tearing it apart.
Yeah spot on mate...doubly so for anything off road. Not only am I considerably more shite as a rider, falling off is an inevitable part of the fun. I choke every time I get a chance to buy something shiny - it's been YEARS now...
Yeah I can dig it. There's something to be said about having something you're not afraid to wrangle without fearing for scratching it.
Reckon the sweet spot for bikes now is early to mid 2000's
