Well, I got me a motorbike.
She's a 2006 SV650S with the lower fairing (thus the "(F)" part). 11,445 miles (100 of those are the delivery ride), a few mods (listed below), and that oh-so-gorgeous 2006 blue!

Edit: Some of the mods I tentatively plan on doing, all in somewhat distant future:
The first first shots:
The reparked shot:

Mods:
- full Yoshimura RS-3 exhaust
- Power Commander (smoother power delivery and idle, along with a few extra hp)
- GSX-R mirrors with integrated signals
- fender eliminator
- frame sliders
- double bubble windscreen
- Nelson Rigg tailbags (not pictured)
- magnetic tank bag (not pictured)
- shorty levers
- tank grip
- integrated battery tender wiring
- UCSB parking sticker, will be removed
Edit: Some of the mods I tentatively plan on doing, all in somewhat distant future:
- paint the plastics white some day: only maybe, since the paint is really gorgeous and in great condition
- suspension: both front and rear, after enough riding to have some ideas on how much improving it really needs, if any
- HIDs: maybe, still not sure
- seats: Corbin, Sargeant, or something else, for both the rider and passenger
