Why did you decide to upgrade? That sv is the brand new one isn't it and the sv650 is just a great bike too. I love the styling of the sv you have.

I am still keeping both. I just want another bike was looking at the Triumph Speed Triple or MV Agusta (just love the look) . I bought the SV650 2017 used last year around 6000 km fairly new.

Welcome to the MV world. Is it the 675 or 800?

675

Keep the SV for heavy traffic riding.

Definitely , Toronto is crazy at rush hour. i do ride down once a week (Friday traffic is a little better). 40min from Jarvis/Adelaide to get on the QEW I can walk faster than this.

love the bike. just getting use to it now. Only hate the insurance, it is almost double my sv650 and some didn't even want to insure it.

Not sure how much are you paying for insurance, but I pay for my MV 800 Dragster RR $2,040 annually.
Make sure not to break anything on the bike, it takes forever to get spare parts and they cost a lot. Anyhow, I love my MV - it’s unique! Cheers

$1920 for MV -intact and $1160 rider plus for sv650

I pay roughly half that, so you still have something to look forward to.

An owner who actually admits this? Call the papers.

That is the problem with MV bikes. They don't have enough dealership in North American and all the parts are from Italy.

Thank goodness for the internet it really doesn't matter much if parts and bikes come from the east or the west. The existence of lots of dealerships doesn't really buy you much, it's not like any of them stock parts, give deals or stay in business long. What's the oldest motorcycle dealership you know of? Harley shop likely.

I get my parts from Star Twin
Usually 2-3 weeks. Shipping is expensive though.

For my 2019 KTM 690 SMCR - $600- TD

Done installing extra running lights for day and night. It looks a lot better in real life than photos. Not sure if it helps just a little for left turner to see me or not. I was hit by a left turner while driving a car in Hawaii last year. She said she didn't see me. Imagine driver can't see a car how can they see a motorcycle. I was only driving at 35mph, the T-bone wasn't too bad.

As someone who has been hit by a left turner, kudos for making yourself more visible.

Thankfully i was also only doing around 30, getting launched into outer space does not appeal to me.
