Default Good Evening

Hi All,

Noobie here.... Great to find an excellent site dedicated to an awesome bike!

I'm on the lookout for an SV650 as my first bike and am after peoples advice for which one to go for - do they differentiate much? i.e. K1-K3?

Hope to be sticking around.

Best Regards

Andy

Ahoy...

I'll bet that most people will reckon their own is the best!! I know mine is!!


Get the newest you can afford is probably the best option....

sx - K2 are the curvey shape. Carb'd bike, 69hp, seem to hold thier price!
K3> Pointy shape. Different frame etc, fuel injected, 76hp.

The choice is yours on the shape, everyone has thier opinion on shape, colour etc. Fantastic bikes whatever one you have.

Welcome to the site

Best to go for, well the difference in shape - beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Otherwise, go for the lowest miles, best serviced most cared for you can afford and you'll do OK. Simple as that really.

If you intend riding all year round you'll probably want to go for a K3-K6. Fuel injection means no carb icing
