Hey all
Been lurking a while now, this board seems like a perfect place for me to settle into if I do indeed get a SV650.
In the process of DAS, have little bike experience behind me as a teen.
Regardless, the SV will be my "first big bike". Was considering a Bandit like most do, except I'm a shorty and I heard/read the SV is also a good starter bike and much lighter
I'm 5'4 weighing in a 8 stone
So...on with the questions...
1. Pointy/Curvy - explain please <.< Obviously to do with looks but some I look at dont look particularly pointy or curvy, lol.
I like the look of the naked more at this point, but I dont think the faired version is that bad either. I'll be doing some motorway riding probably, but not huge distances (prob 50 miles at a time tops).
2. MPG/Tank size - From what I read 100-150 is the average range of the bike, which seems like nothing. I get 400 miles per tank from my car now and I feel like I'm forever stopping to fill up. Is this the norm for this class of bike?
3. I've set myself a strict £1500-£1800 budget. What can I realistcally expect for this price? I want as new and as stock as possible.
I think they were my main concerns, thanks all
