Re: 650 v 1000
thanks for your reply Mark, at 52 yrs young I purchased my 650 sv for fun and reliability. I love my classic 2 strokes and own 7 of them. I feel my 650 will do the job that I want it to, but I am considering going for the 10 for longer 2 up journeys. and I must add I will be keeping my 650 for the grin factor.

Re: 650 v 1000
I've ridden a bone stock SV1000, and one that was highly modified, had lots of power, and excellent suspension.
I like my 650 better than either. |

I had both as well, in the faired variety. The 650 was a great bike, but I always felt a lot more confident on the thou - the suspension combined with the extra weight just made it feel more planted in the corners. If I had to choose between the two, I would take the thou every time
