SV vs CBR600F for starter rider

Good advice. Just remember loads of us have gone to an SV650 as their very first bike, never mind first big bike. And the vast majority don't have any problem with them.
I'm very happy that I chose the SV, I might be equally happy with another similar bike, but I don't think I could be much happier.

Also the throttle isn't jerky, there might be the odd time at low revs in second gear for instance when it surprises you initially, but it's not a jerk, and you get used to it, and it happens less and less.

What do you mean why do you need full stops it's perfectly readable any fool could read it I don't know why you're complaining is it because you're short of breath I don't understand you need to explain it.

I find engine braking great when you get the hang of it (when I'm following mates on other bikes, their brake lights are flashing on the twisties and I'm not touching mine - takes some getting used to). Long straights I get hammered on, but I dont care one little bit - the SV is top for me and I'm glad I bought it, it gives me many smiles
