SV Dimensions
Is the SV considered a little bike? I know it is quite low because I have jacked mine up and got a raised seat. (I am 5ft 11")
In terms of length and width is it considered a baby against bigger bikes? |

Re: SV Dimensions
some would class it as a 'starter bike' but i personally think its much more. they are a big bike to me but i'm only 5' feck all. its narrow due to being a v twin so its inherently thin. but if you look at the figures it weighs about the same as a GSXR 750/1000. the seat hight is 800mm so a bit shorter than most these days. so i supose it is a 'baby' compared to 'bigger bikes'.

Re: SV Dimensions
Yeah the line between starter and little is a little blurred. My last bike was an RSV R so I know power, but I still love the SV. It is far from a starter bike for me, but I just love the bike.
I like everything about the SV, I am just worried it is a bit "small" for touring? |

Re: SV Dimensions
Not really. Did a few 150 mile day trips on my old K6 with the wife on the back. Just after some opinions of people that have toured on an SV.

Re: SV Dimensions
the SV is lumped into the starter bike class, like the ER-6's and CB600's.
Like bib said they are inheritantly narrow like all V-Twins, and weigh the same as a supersports. The only bikes that is slimmer is a Triumph Triple
