Nice vid. I bought one too. It's a great all round package which is more than the sum of it's parts. It defies it's spec sheet for sure. I also put on the Suzuki adjustable levers, Powerbronze tail tidy, Evotech radiator guard & an Akropovic full system on mine too. I'm still running it in with about 800 miles on it so far & very pleased with it to date.

How’s the Akra sound?

My SV650 also got stolen a while back, and I'm looking at the GSX-8R now. Nice to hear your perspective as a fellow former SV650 rider!

Do it, it's an incredible bike. Super comfortable and it's got more power than you can really use on public roads.

Oh shit I ride these same roads. Capital power sports almost sold me on an mt07 but I bought the silver gsx-8r instead over at team power sports by the airport.

Love this i bought the same exact one color, and all i need is some accessories

Thanks! More coming soon

I would put one of those thick ass kryptonite chains on it and anchor it down personally. Yes they can cut through it (with time), but they would be there a while, it might not be worth it to them.

Thanks for the perspective/video! Have family just outside Raleigh, the town of Angier. Wanted to know if you've experienced any vibrations - foot pegs, handlebars in particular that might have caught your attention? Thanks!

Definitely some handlebar vibrations! After this ride my hands were numb and tingly. I think it might have been just nerves riding the new bike for the first time and gripping too tight. Haven’t had the issue again even prolonged rides.

@@americanerrant1332 Thank you for that feedback. Was trying to compare with a Ninja 650 (somewhat "vibey" experience)

I like the dash

The dash is a HUGE improvement over the SV650. You can actually toggle between light and dark mode too. Great view of RPMs, Speed, Gear selection.

Check the one I used to have out. Had to get rid of it I didn’t like it at all

What did you not like about it?

Can someone confirm if 10k sounds like the otd price I'm looking at this bike here in cali and the advertised prices are 7.5k does that even out to 10k otd?

That’s about what I had. Don’t pay more than $1500 in fees on top of advertised price.

Yea. The price came down. About 8300-8800 out the door incl gees now.

Get yourself a tst integrated tail light!

Idk man, I'm liking the Yoshimura. My only issue with the TST is they make you buy like four different products for it. There's the Fender Eliminator, the Tail light, the license plate light, and then the relay to make sure the blinkers aren't stupid fast.

@@americanerrant1332 I cant argue with you there lol you do have to fully commit and buy multiple things to go the tst route. It’s worth it imo, but I can see why you would go with yoshi instead

Sounds like a sewing machine.
