Default Am I the wrong shape for a SV650?

Well day 1 of the DAC went well, had fun, got to ry filtering about 2 days early (road closure forced us westwards between Westminster Brigde and Horseferry Bridge, instructor thought "fsck it" and gave us all the option of following him, everyone took him up on it and did fine, tho he was prepared to sit and wait had any one of us been unsure

Over lunch, we got taking about bikes, and he expressed a concern over whether I would fit an SV650 very well due to being "quite broad across the shoulders" and that maybe a Bandit would be a better fit.

So now I am left wondering which way to go - I guess I will just need to blag a test-drive on a Sv to see how comfortable it feels.

Other thing thats making me wonder on my choice is that a friends dad went to his usual Bike dealer/garage for tyres and had a look at what they had in, and there is a CB500 (or 600 I cant remember) with only 15 miles on it (some guy bought it, didnt like it, brought it back) with a few extras on it going for over £1000 under list for new, with the possibility of getting even more off it......

Anyways, off to day 2

Still seriously wanting an SV, ended up parking the CG125 I was to borrow next to a very nice black one outside Metropolis at Vauxhall yesterday at 4 ish
