Still, Suzuki says the parts department is looking into a bikini-style fairing. A few months and a couple of thousand miles later the Suzuki Press Rep called to wonder what was happening with the story. Well, that is a difficult question. The deal with the enthusiast press is that the manufacturers give us brand new super-cool motorcycles to ride and impress folks with and in return we're supposed to write reviews. The MO Editor understood this part of the bargain, yet some stories are easier to write than others.
Some bikes are so full of new high-tech materials and alloys that the story writes itself.
Other bikes don't inspire tremendous passion, and these reviews are written quickly just so we can turn them in for something cooler. Then there are the bikes that don't easily lend themselves to prose, they just like to be ridden. The SV650 is one of these. Um, yeah, eventually, when we get enough miles on the bike. But I'll try to think of something more to write.
