Cool Is it good?

Would the SV650s be a good beginner bike?

Take into account i am 17 (have to have it restricted)
Been riding for one year
6'2 tall
15 stone (95 kg)

What do you think?
Any comments appreciated

Yup!!!!! You wont do much better at 17. I had an RS125 from 17-18 then got the SV.

my dad thinks a 400 super sports would be better what do you think?

For my age and experience

But will my height and weight make it uncomfortable?
