An ST1300 or a K1200GT should do nicely. It still kills me to see my old SV in another's garage. The ST1300 does make a nice replacement though. ;) It isn't as much pure fun to ride, but it opens a lot of long distance options I couldn't consider before. 400 miles along the Blue Ridge killed me on the SV, but the ST does that and another couple hundred. Everyone should have one, maybe not as a daily rider, but as a community bike you can ride when you need it. ------------------------------------------------- For all your SV needs: http://www.svrider.com To change your list settings or leave SV650-L, please visit http://www.hawkgt.com/sv650/lists.asp
