Default New guy. First bike

Hey just signed up here on the forum. I bought my 2004 sv650s this past Wednesday for $2000!!!
The bike needs a little bit if cosmetic work which I'm already working on
It needed to be washed and waxed, new mirrors, new brake severvior, front turn signals, wind screen, and the speedo needs the correct part to read properly. Other than that this bike is in great running condition!!
It has 24k miles, has been serviced every 3k miles at the cycle shop a friend of mine works at. I think this is the perfect bike for me to start out on!!

I've riden dirt bikes, 4 wheelers, and toyed around on my dads Harley fatboy....
Well on to pics. I'm sure Yall love them here.

Thanks Robb
