Alright mate. I'm already a member on the org, great site with lots of top members. Am I right in thinking your username is Daimo over there? I can remember you posting vids of your Tornado up and also saw them on the org. 
Agree about the fender extender, I had problems with the front plug and have since bought one and now it's fine. (The pictures are 2/3 months old, need to take some more now as I've just cleaned and polished her up!)

Theres a post in classifieds with all the details mate. Away to collect it from having the carbs rebuilt this afternoon. £300 lighter but should be putting out good power now.
£2250 is what I'm ideally after but open to offers.

Any pics of your CBR mate? I'm keeping the SV for another 16 months and then getting a new CBR hopefully. Always loved them.

I loved my SV, cracking little first bike. It really isn't as good as a sports bike, but I still maintain as a sensible entry into biking, its hard to beat.

I've only been riding 3 months and I must say that I love my SV. I test rode a Hornet before the SV and I much prefer the engine on the SV. So much usuable torque at low/mid revs. It's also plenty fast enough for me at the moment as I can get a bit carried away
Nice looking Bandit btw. Looks in great nick to say it's your daily hack.

Thats after a wash, shes done over 26k now. Build qualitys fairly poor, but the main thing is to look after them.
Winter - Rinse it down if salt has been laid (COLD water!!!!). Give it a wash every weekend etc. If its outside, get a bike cover, even if its in a garage at home, when at work, put it under a cover (n leave it at work).
You got to look after them if you want it to last. Service intervals maintained etc. Shes not looking so healthy now I must admit, the exhaust shiney gaurd decided to part ways with the bike, and i've lots a bolt out the centre stand somehow, so can't use it atm, just small things though. Mechanically its spot on still (bar the fact I need a new gearbox rod rubber as my ones perishing hence leaving a floppy gear selection).
Cracking bike though for what it is and how much it cost.
