Good Bye Miss Blue, SV650SF

NDspd · January 24th, 2013, 09:55 PM

Hey guys, been a long time since I've been active on here. Just so you all know I went down early this month. To put it simply I low sided avoiding another motor vehicle accident. Of course the roads were wet...

I won't go through the whole detail, but I'm pretty baffled on why I went down. I didn't snap on the brakes, I didn't lean hardly at all, and I had Pirelli Angel tires. The only thing I can think of as the cause is possibly a pocket of water or the painted lines on the road.

Either way, I got a heavily bruised hip and mild case of whip lash from landing. The bike was totaled as you can see by the photos below. I am actually getting a near identical twin this weekend, so I'm stoked to get back out on the open road...I hate boring family cars.

Your bike is missing its brains!

huuuuuuge pictures lol, but then I don't know, I'm zoomed in already.

That's a major bummer man. Glad to hear you're relatively okay and are getting another bike!

That sucks man, glad you are okay and can find another SV650.

csmith12 · January 25th, 2013, 07:06 AM

Crappy luck, glad your good. Good luck with the new bike.

Alex · January 25th, 2013, 06:28 PM

Sorry about the bike! Glad you came through OK.

CynicalC · January 27th, 2013, 10:05 AM

Ouch. Are you keeping the old bike for parts?

Jesse8931 · January 27th, 2013, 10:38 AM

If your frame is ok why not put the gsxr front end on it ?

+1 and better adjustements

MistahT · January 28th, 2013, 06:00 PM

From the pics it looks like mechanically it's in alright shape. If forks are trashed, dump some new ones in there, tear off what's left of the fairings to run it naked, and put on a GS500 or SV650 round headlight.

Does it still run?

NDspd · January 28th, 2013, 08:08 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys.

The bike hit hard enough on the side and front there were just too many parts bent or broken to even bother. The repair cost was well above the value of the bike, so they totalled it and took her away.

But the good news is that I am getting a new bike tomorrow. It's a 2002 Triumph Speed Triple 955i. I'll post pics in a different thread.
