Sorry Taka but the C90 is one of the coolest bikes ever made.

Every biker should ride one at some point in their life. We own one and it has pride of place in our workshop.

Disagree with the comments about not restricting a bike, some restrict very badly (Honda Hornet is diabolical restricted frinstance) but a restricted SV or kawasaki ER6 or similiar works well, still better engine characteristics than most small engined bikes as you still get the low down torque, just not the top end power.

Frinstance, someone mentioned the Bros 400 but the SV’s lighter, and in restricted form still makes more torque (and delivers it lower down to boot) so gives you really nice usability.

SV650, nope it’s a suzuki, I had one it rusted and corroded really quickly.”

That’s what makes them such great second hand buys A wee bit of cosmetic roughness takes loads off the price without actually making any difference to the ride. People’ll pay more for a tidy looking bike that’s mechanically shagged than they will for a mechanically perfect bike that looks a bit second hand. The cosmetic build quality is rotten though, no denying it, mine is 60000 miles old and the engine cases look like it’s been stored in the sea.
