Hello All

I'm hoping to look at an SV650 on Saturday and I'm after a bit of advice. I've been on a Fazer 600 for about 5 years and it's been a great bike. It's up around 45000 miles now and I want to swap it in for something with less miles. There seem to be plenty of SVs around fairly cheap. It'd be used for commuting about 25 miles a day.

Is it a good choice for this kind of riding (all year round)?

The model I'm looking at is a 2001 SV650S, it only has 3000 miles on it and looks mint. Seems a good price to me. Is there anything I need to look out for? Was there something dodgy about that year's model?

Anyway, got to ride it to see what I think. Any advice gratefully accepted and maybe I'll be around a bit more.

Cheers
