RE: 01' F4i vs. 05 SV650S
I also started on a Ninja 500EX and moved to an 01 F4i. A friend of mine has an 03 SVT650 and it's nice, but looks and sounds more like a dirtbike than a streetbike. Ive never had or heard or anyone having major mechanical probs with an f4i as long as the reg. maintenance (oil, etc) is taken care of. Like the other said, its a great all around bike. I love it

the sv is an ok entry streetbike, but since youve been riding, you will be much happier with an f4i, svs are slow...f4i are fast and more nimble in my opinion. my buddy has an svS, and he wants a better bike, and its an o6.

I'm fairly new to my f4i (3 months 2k miles) it's an 03 with 6k miles and I absolutely love it. Im 18 commuting to college and insurance for me was $285 for a full 12 months! 500$ deductible I'm in Ohio so they factor in that riding weather is generally only 8 months a yr which I think is why it's cheaper they said. I personally chose the f4i because: like you said it looks amazing ( I wanted the 01-03 for split seats), the Honda reliability, plenty of power, great on gas, and it's just so much fun. Plus like others have said its so versatile, being able to take to the track, twistys, or everyday road riding. Just my input. Choose which fits your style. And good luck!
