Default A quick question about naked SVs

First post so hello all.

A quick question. Are the naked SV's roomier than the faired ones? My wife used to have a curvey faired one and I always found it too cramped. I'm looking for a second bike for wet/winter commuting and always enjoyed the SV but couldn't live with a faired one.

Cheers.

Well, with the handlebars instead of clip-ons, the rider generally is at a slightly more upright posture. The foot pegs are at a different height and the swingarm is slightly longer I think. I do find the nakeds a lot more comfier for a rider like me, but if you like the sporty look of the faired version, there are Helibars
