I bought a bike yesterday, silver Sv650s K2 model, with a viper race can rides soooo nice. So far ive driven back from plymouth to exeter, exeter to tiverton and then back to exeter from tiverton (getting soaked on the last tiverton journey).

Finally a pair of wheels for myself.

Great bike Mate. My lad hopes to take his test in the next couple of months and buy a restricted SVS. Thanks Skez for the offer of the 1/2 price ECU restrictor.

i have a restrictor kit for a k1/2 sv, you can have that one for cheap if you want.

restrictor kits are a funny business, as making them "official" (ie legal) usually means they have to be fitted and inspected by an approved place, furthermore, I don't think you can transfer the restriction between bikes, so looks ike for it to be legal, you would have to buy one new, which I think is a major ripoff!!!!

Anyway it's something worth looking into, problem is it's going to be diffcult to get an honest answer on it, as everyone these days is out to make £'s

Some people say if you get it restricted then do a Dynorun to prove it's <33BHP thats enough....

FI International, Will charge you £130-150 for the restriction kits (Normally 4 washers) then it HAS to be fitted by an aproved garage (Who will charge an extra £100 if they can get away with it). They also give you a form which is faxed to the FI International HQ for their records... It's not transferrable to another bike but can be to other owners (At a £25 admin charge I think)

It's like Dynojet kits, After the initial R&D is done it costs them pennies to make the kits but still charge SOOOOO much for it.

Ace bike m8...Enjoy
