Bought this bike straight away after passing my test4 weeks ago from the user named Mototech on here. Iv realised the bike is too big for me to start off on on so im going to get a smaller bike to learn on first of all. i paid 2595 for this bike so i would like as close to this figure as possible. the bike is an absoloute minter and it has been well looked after, iv only been on it a few times ( because of the weather ) but the amount of admiring glances you get when riding this bike is unbelievable. Anyways a bit about the bike...

Its all down to how you feel at the end of the day isnt it only you know if it feels right or not. Maybe something with a more upright seating position and abit smaller would fit the bill. Hope you find what your looking for mate.

Yeah I thought mine was too big to start with. I would give it a bit longer and see if you can get used to it as you know that in a few months a smaller engine will seem too small. I feel that my bike is very light now (aluminium frame and engine) and other bikes seem very heavy in the corners. Good luck selling it. Looks great.

At least your willing to admit your struggling with it.

However, you know Rome wasnt built in a day, dont expect too much of yourself too soon.

I passed my test a year ago...and its only recently that I feel more settled and confident on my bike. I still dont corner very fast or tear around, but I am riding faster and smoother than a year ago and am noticing improvements in my riding now.... its been a slow process, and a huge learning curve....but its all beginning to click into place. I've still got a huge amount to learn.

Why dont you stick with it for a bit. Maybe do a Bikesafe day, or ask your instructor for some tuition on the areas that you feel you are weak in.

Problem you've got is that there isn't much else that is smaller or lighter.

The uk market goes straight from 125 to 600 with diddly squat in between.

Unless you want nekkid, like a cb500, but you'll get bored of something like that in no time and they don't look too sexy.

We looked for the Mrs cos a 400 would've been ideal - they just dont exist.

I'd also advise to stick with it for a while, go out on your own and get familiar with it down a stretch of road you know when it's quiet.
That way you're not worrying about the road, just you and the bike.
Looks too good a bike to sell so soon

Marc a few well made points there, 99% of 400cc bikes on the road have been thrashed to death and not many of them looked after plus the majority have been raced. If your abit concerned about maybe to much power you could always get a restricted ecu which would bring the power down to a the learner limit of 33bhp.
What is it that makes you feel unsteady on the sv? if you can point it out maybe people can give you ways to help.
