New bike?

Hi, I want to change from my current trail bike, DRZ400s, back to a road bike and an SV650S has been recommended.
I want to commute, general transport to shops etc and for day/fun runs.
I'm 5'10" and 12 stone. Will the SV be ok and will it be comfortable for longer runs on fast B roads and smaller A roads?
Thanks for your help.

Re: New bike?

Welcome to the madhouse!

Funny you should ask really, considering that I'm keeping an eye open for a DRZ400 as a cheap hack to run around on while the SV is under going work.

You won't have a problem with the SV IMO, and it'll have more power than the DRZ that you have now.

My SV has been used mostly for commuting, but also a fair amount of fun days. Covered 35k in the last 2 years (approx).
