The '01 and '02 were the only years of the first generation SVS (no S in '00,
isn't that right?).  The first gen bikes are already cult favorites, and the S
version is rarer.  The differences between '01 and '02 are slight, so I wouldn't
say the '01 year is unique, exactly.

I'll bet the '01 and '02 SVS will be highly sought-after bikes in ten years.
Too bad yours isn't blue, though.  :->
