Changing sv650a for a very low mileage 2017 Kawasaki vn900 classic.
Riding suzuki was hurting my knees (not really the bike's fault,it's my knees !) and I couldn't be bothered with adjusting footpegs and controls etc or whatever,so hoping a more feet forward riding position (which I wouldn't normally prefer ) will allow me to continue riding without discomfort.
I had a vn900 classic around 2014 so I have some idea what they are like. Single front disc brake was a bit weak I remember but maybe braided stainless steel brake lines could improve the braking.
