Looks great! The bike really lends itself to a variety of different looks. Here's the electric SV with some chintzy body panels thrown on:

2. Slow, with ~26hp, ~65mph top speed due to gearing (5000rpm motor vs. the 10,500rpm SV motor)
It's great around town! Off the line torque in 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd is pretty good
Or I can even leave it in taller gears and never shift. ~38 lb-ft at 0rpm makes no-clutch takeoffs no problemo.

That's so cool! What kind of range can you get out of that?

HONDA SHADOW SPIRIT 750, Year 2005 . . pretty quick/agile for a cruiser. . . but really no fun in traffic. . . . hated it so much
I sold it in early 2009. 
K5 SUZUKI SV650-N - my daily rider and streetfighter. . .loads and loads of low-end torque. . . never get tired of this bike. Had for a few years now but selling.
and the 1989 HONDA CB-1 side by side in the stable with the SV650. . sorry don't have a better pic. . . redlines at 14,000 and its a 400CC In-line 4 cylinder with gear driven cams. This bike is so flickable and a cult classic. . . kinda reminds me of the S2000 . . not the most power out there but small and extrememly agile/quick and a screaming high redline and nice strong powerband kicks in at 6500 to 9000 rpms. . . also selling now.
made a deal with my significant other. ..sell bikes, get a sports car
. . .that car is my S2K. . . not the ideal trade in my book, but keeps peace in the family. . . plus the car is a lotta fun and I love this forum too. . . that's part of the value, I guess.. . plus I still get to keep this as part of the deal: 
1978 CESSNA 152 . . .love this airplane . .
