I did quite a bit of research before getting my SV650 and everywhere I looked said that it was a great first bike. I've been on mine (with one small exception when a moped drove out in front of me) for about six weeks and it's working well. Plenty of get up and go with no nasty vices.

Keith.

Yep its a curvy... not a bad choice at all, but not a pointy.

**runs and hides before the abuse rains down**


Just be careful to start with - the engine braking on the 650 can surprise you. Doesn't take long to adjust to it mind.

i did research as well and everyone was telling me to gtet an sv as my first big bike so fingers crossed i will have one next week. I personally prefer the curvy ones.
it'll certainly get some use ive owned my r 125 since new which is 87 months and ive done 9200 miles

hey how you doing, you getting a curvy you have made an excellent choice. just so you know there is lots of banter between people who have ponities and people who have curvies. Basically curvies are 99-02 models and pointies are 02 - onwards. but we all get along

enjoy the org

excellent choice
