My bros first bike: sv650

Well he ended up not getting the 250 and got this:

2007 SV650 for $3500, not bad for a 17 year olds first bike.

Yes the tyres bald as fook and I road it 40 miles like that but still and that plate is a temp one real ones are half the size.

I have to admit, I love it.

I really didn't want to like it and my only previous experience of one was a quick bimble up and down the road.

But after spending an hour on this I really like it.

Its not as fast or as strong as my 1000 or 600 but the way the power is always there is just nice.

His mods planned:

Remove rim tape
Nicer bars
Stubby can Mr. Green

Nice (apart from the rim tape, but that's coming off and the valve caps. Sick

).

Much better choice than the 250, he won't have to play catch up now. Thumbs Up

Are bikes generally cheaper in the states? Or did you/he just get a good deal.

Looks a nice bike, might want to have a go at the downpipe before it corrodes any more though Thumbs Up

Good choice as a first big bike at 17.

I really like the look of the naked one, think it looks a lot nicer than the faired new shape Thumbs Up

I reckon it need an undertray though

Having a choice of a 250 Ninja or an SV is like being asked "would sir prefer aids or hepititis?" Laughing

Only kidding, should be good bike for a young lad - certainly a bit better looking withough the ugly useless fairing.

Nice bike, but, what the hell is the plate doing there? Does that not interfere with cornering? Seems mighty low.

No L plates, you don't have to take an actual test in most states either.

Instead if you have a licence you can take a Motorcycle Saefty Foundation Course or the H-D Riders Edge which looks a lot like a CBT but with larger bikes and have M entitlement added to your licence.
