Or is it a case that anything that looks good has to be a girls bike because a man's bike can only be something that is held together by black tape and looks like its never been cleaned?
Oh god I have got a 400 too … … but it is covered in Black gaffa tape … so what do we make of that then hey Anna Freud*?!!

The lack of a centre stand is both highly annoying and I've *heard* is because they didn't think girls could put it up on one!? So that bit is girly. (If true)

But then again, I find the height and position much more suited to men (I'm 6 foot 1) than say a gsxf-750 that I tried that had me hunched up and my knees knocking on the fairings. So in that respect it seems suited to men.

My next door neighbour is a girl and she has one. She is very short, and has dropped it a few times cos she can't get her feet properly down as comfortably as I can, but she looks good on it!

I think its a man's bike to be honest cos of the seat height, but I wish they'd included a centre stand.

Some people might have liked the sv650 so much that they've changed their gender to match...................

In which case every sports bike out there is a girl's bike

Generally they are removed to save weight and for ground clearance. Me? I don't have one but fail to see them as girly bikes or men's bikes. It's a decent bike that does a hell of a lot of things for a hell of a lot of people, if you paint it pink, well then it's hard to call it manly, but if you want to see how girly it is, go see the times being posted by the minitwins racers... waaaaay out of my league!
