Yep, even with 40k riding miles behind me, most all of them being on more agressive bikes, I still jump on my friends SV650 when I get the chance. Really the best bike you can get in any range for the money.

Actually, no mod list. Just a few interior pieces I'd like to replace (tear in the dash pad on the passenger side). Other than that....some touch up paint! I got rid of the car mod bug awhile back, not going to burn any money this time. Anything to get rid of those cheezy fake CF trim inserts inside?

Yes remote entry is standard, should come with two key frogs.

I like the white, really sharp. My P5 is silver, good for hiding light dirt. I had a white '67 Camaro and a white '69 Chevelle SS way back in my old hotrod days.

Check your rear w/w arm bolt (lift the plastic cover). Some are loose...

Welcome aboard!

I'll go check that now, thanks. Does anyone else car whistle above 65mph? I'm trying to figure out if the windshield was replaced (any marks to look for on the OEM glass?) and there is a leak, or if it's the wipers or roof rack. So far the "Vol" **** on the radio works for covering it up, but I wish I could find the source of the noise.

My car starts whistling at that speed too, just figured it was the car. I just use the radio to cover it up.

Due to a large rain storm today, I found the whistle/leak. Looked up and my headliner was wet. Took it back to the Dealer and they are resealing the windshield for me right now, gave me a Kia Loaner car....whee.
