Re: Sv650s too much or not enough bike?
Not too much. For the rest I'd be checking insurance.
Try both (Or I'd try more) & go with whatever you like best. |

Re: Sv650s too much or not enough bike?
you will love it ... i went from a 125cc to the SV650 ... i did have my eye on the Ninja250 but so glad the price shot which made me get a second hand sv650 and i wouldn't look back at something like a ninja250 now.
go for it you wont be disappointed.

You have good experiance on a ninja 250, it won't feel like a whole new world, rather a new country. The faces are all the same, but the sensations a a bit differant and the langauge is new. But you adjust after about...ooo...3 miles. |

Re: Sv650s too much or not enough bike?
haha , awesome. Thanks for the great replies guys. I am still floating between the sv650s and the Ninja 650r( ERn-650.) I like the way they both look, especailly the Sv's full fairing look.. But unfortunately 09 only comes in gray and blue =/

Re: Sv650s too much or not enough bike?
Anyone here from USA that can give me more info on the colors on the 09 SV650s? I heard that overall, the sv is a better bike then the 650r.. To me, i think that the SV looks more sporty and nicer.. But that's just me. Im really hoping for different colors =/

Re: Sv650s too much or not enough bike?
I think the colour schemes are blue and black as they are in the Europe market
I think the pre-09 colours were blue red and black

Re: Sv650s too much or not enough bike?
I moved from a GN125 to an Sv650s .... scary at first, but you soon get used to it, and cracking bikes ....
I then went to an ER6 for the comfort ... but maywell change to a Gladius at some stage ... I love the ER6, and the 650 engines are meant to be comparible ... but I find the ER6 slightly lacking in smoothness and character compared to the SV's V-twin ... The SV is definately punching way above its weight (for the money) Get one ... you won't be disappointed .... Last edited by LK-SV; 21-04-10 at 09:20 AM. |

Re: Sv650s too much or not enough bike?
Other than a 125cc for a few days during training to get my licence, I've never riden anything before I bought my SV - so like the others have said, it is a very good bike to learn or begin on.
