Hi,
Like you I only passed my test 12 months ago. After loads of research,(and I mean loads) the SV650 is a PERFECT 1st bike in terms of weight, Insurance (Gp 10) looks, afordabilty, availablity and performance. Like the above comments, DONT RUSH. There's loads of well cared for bikes out there but there's also loads of rubbish.
I bought the 'S' (faired) model (2001 - 51 reg) in yellow with 6K on the clock - 1 previous owners with FSH, as new condition etc etc for £2800 & never regretted it. Take your time there's great deals around this time of year. Dont just look at the bike - look at the area, the owner, his house, the state of his garage, how he presents himself....I think you know where I'm coming from...Good luck but dont rush.
