    I collected my brand new shiny black SV today. The dealer swapped all the
    shortarse stuff from my old bike onto the new one for me, so it was the
    right height for me to ride away - yay! (and he made fun of the collection
    of levers I had stashed under the seat of the old bike ;-)

    Geezus girl, You've had more bikes in the last three years than I've had in
    thirty.
    OTOH why would anyone really need a new Guzzi more often than every ten
    years or so?

    Black is so eighties. The whole Goth thing is dead, get over it. :)

    lol Theo. I was going to wait and see what colour was coming next year, but
    then Suzuki had this November 'free ORC' special and I figured I couldn't
    wait. Knowing my luck, I'd hang around hoping for a nice deep metallic
    orange or red, and they'd bring out something yellow, or poo brown - or
    black again, ha ha ha.

    Congrats Betty :)

    You must really like SV's (not knocking SV's I think they are one of the
    better mid range bikes around). It's not very often that you see
    someone replace their bike with the same model AND the same color!

    So... were you able to 'leveredge' a discount? :)

    Oh hardy har har :p

    You must be colourblind G-S! The last one was metallic grey (a lovely
    colour.... preferable to shiny black, methinks. I have a feeling the black
    will show every speck of dust...)

    Congratulations. I suppose it saves washing them.

    Will the spare levers fit the new one?

    Black is timeless. If it ain't black, paint it black.

    Perhaps a little extreme.

    Black is the default colour for a motorcycle.

    You get a black bike when none of the ther colours really screams..."Buy
    Me!"

    Black goes so well with gold bling, too!

    Have you tried out the "shorty" gold anodised brake and clutch levers,
    or is gravity still picking on you, betty?

    Anyhow, I wish you much joy of the new bike.

    regards,
    CrazyCam

    Thanks CC - will look into the gold thingies. My new shortarse bike and
    'feet flat' stance will hopefully minimise the evil pull of gravity (as long
    as I stay away from gravel, that is...)
