Good luck finding that SV

After a few lessons on a bigger bike for your DAS you'll be fine and ready to think about getting your SV. Just take it easy at first, there are plenty of people on here that will go out on rideouts with you to help get some experience and confidence.

Again, good luck with it all!

i'd never ridden a bike before until about this time last year. took my CBT, 3 days later started my DAS and 4 days after that i passed.

my first bike was/is my SVS, its an absolute belter of a bike. sure, i know no different, but for a first bike i'm going to struggle to see how anybody could do better in terms of all roundedness!! i just did my first track day on it, and the bike can hold its own in some good company

as amandam said, the throttle works both ways!

Ive only been riding a few months myself.
Id never ridden a bike in my life till i did my DAS. Had 2 days training on a gs500, passed my test, and jumped on my SV. Just take it easy at first and you'll be fine.
Although the sv is a big powerful first bike its also light for its size, handles well and is very forgiving. All in all its great for a first bike IMO.

Sv as a first bike.....why not!? Just take your time, build your confidence at the same speed as your experience and ability and you should be OK.

Ive ridden all-sorts from fizzies to GSXR1100's for 20 years and believe me, the SV is a really lovely, competent and useable machine.

It is, without doubt, the best all-round machine I've ever owned!

Have fun.

if thats what you want get it
i passed my test 4 years ago and brought a sv a week later and had it for 2 years and loved every minite of it thats why i have a k5 now

just remember take your time when you first have it and try and do a couple of thousand miles on your own before you go out with your mates
