Hi,

my wife and I are relatively new to motorcycling, I passed my DAS in november last year and she passed her test on a 125 last month. She currently rides a honda xr125 and is looking for her first bigger bike which will have to be restricted to 33 bhp for two years. The SV650 seems to fit the bill as a first bike. She has tried one at a dealer and it seems to fit her well and not being too heavy gave her confidence. We do not want to buy new and are looking for some advice on which model/price to go for. Although the s models look good she is looking for a more upright position, can you change the set up on these to the non s model arrangement? Hope you can give us some advice, T&C
