I plan on taking the MSF course by the end of the summer, VA Western is at the end of the block where they have them all the time! 8)
And hmm.... I like that SV, not a bad sugestion at all! I like the looks, weighs the same, double the power, higher seat would probably fit me better, I'll have to take your word on the tires issue-- if it's a more common size, that can only be a good thing. Chain drive is probably a good thing too. And it might just make it into my price range if I bought off season as I plan to. Would I be looking for the "S" or regular? Just a looks thing or is there any performance difference?
The only thing I see on the list that I'm not a huge fan of is the water cooling. That was one thing I liked about the Blast and all years of the SV's have it. Again, just a simplicity thing, it's yet another system that needs maintainence and care. Tell me.... is that silly? Is the cooling system on a bike just so simple that it's really a non-issue, and if anything means you have less to worry about on a hot day?
