Hi, (first post!)

I'm looking at the SV650 as a new commuter/funner after getting rid of my tired gpz500. The 0% deal is very tempting, esp with discount too. I'm not that fond of the blue and wondered what the red is like.

They have a bandit at my local dealer in red which looks similar to the website pic of the SV. It's a metallic red which I quite like. However theres another new bandito with flat red paintwork. Does anyone know if the red SV this year is metallic or flat?

Also, the belly looks VERY exposed, are the downpipes stainless? Are there any weak points?

Thanks
