SV1000 for first big bike?
My bro is thinking off getting a SV1000 for his first bike, he is 34 and has only only got his bike licence last year. he has been driving daily since 17 and owns two carsdriving about 1500 miles a week so not oblivious to road danger. He intends to use his bike purely for pleasure at weekends as doesn't get much spare time during the week. he is open to recommendations.

Depends how much self control he has in his right wrist
 He had any insurance quotes for one? What's up with a six fiddy? |

Re: SV1000 for first big bike?
he has test ridden a naked sv1000 and loved it. Alos tried a fazer 600 and didn't go much on that. The new R6 he tried was out of this world but he thinks if he buys one he will kill himself 4 first bike.

Re: SV1000 for first big bike?
Hi Guys
I have jumped on my Bro posts and I am the one looking to buy. Do you think the 650 will be enough? I am very open to suggestions. Quite like the Duke 2? |
