Is it possible to restrict a sv1000?

Re: Sv650
 

Don't know & IMHO wouldn't be worth the hassle.

Its physically heavier than the 650 and an altogether different bike.

One of my team bought a 1200 Bandit straight after passing his test, just to Top Trump everyone else in the 'I've got more CC's than you'. But he wants to move to a smaller bike as the Blandit can only do one thing really.

The SV1000 is much better than the Blandit, but serve you biking apprenticeship on a smaller bike before moving up to the bigger bike

You'll have more fun on the 650

go for the 650.
i got mine at 17 and 3 years later i still love it, even though ive just moved on to a zx6
