sv650 - just for the shorties?

must have been a k3 i had a seat on. couldnt reach the ground at all

I'm 6'4" and 12 stone or so. It does feel fairly cramped on my curvy, but I don't find it a problem. In fact I find it useful that I can easily get both feet on the floor, and I can get on the bike from the "wrong" side without a problem.

ex fazer rider here !

6ft and 12st.

I had the new 04 fazer (r6 engined), it was a more relaxed riding position (more weight on bum than wrists) which was good in town, but the sv is better on the open road.
Used to get numb bum on the fazer on a longer ride - don't on the sv.

sv engine much easier to use and get the best out of - fazer was ridiculous - how many revs to make it go?

suspension on the fazer was way better - sz can be a bit pogo on bumpy roads..

if you look at the pre 04 fazer or an sv, you won't go far wrong with either - but avoid the 04 onwards fazers - silly engine.

my work is done
