You get used to the weight, just be a little careful where you stop. Just walking around with the bike and paddling it about will have your legs built up in no time.

Just never ride with a full tank of petrol and don't worry about it. Sv's are suprisingly light bikes. Have you been out on the sv yet? Practice on a friends

I have ridden it in a straight line but was too scared to turn the handle bars incase i toppled over!!
I struggled to walk the 500 round!! il just have to butch up or buy a lighter bike!!

I doubt it's really even a case of butching up, just taking your time and practising. I poo'd it first time I rode the SV but 2 hours later I was doing interesting speeds down the motorway to nottingham.
