Listen to TEEDUB. One of the better arguements for the SV is that if you get the regular SV (not the "S" model) and you drop it, (and you almost certainly will) it won't cost you an arm and a leg to have the plastics fixed. As TeeDub said, it's the way a twin makes power that makes it a more favorable (smarter) choice. By the way, I teach trackdays at Willow Springs Raceway on an 03 GSXR1000 and there are people on SVs that rail around there. Lesson: If you learn to ride well, the SV will be plenty fast enough.

My thought... get yourself a used SV, the proper gear, (helmet, gloves, boots, and AT LEAST a leather jacket) quality instruction, and take your time.

Cheers!

Also, if you're in the SoCal area, give me a call after you've gotten your bike and I'll hook you up with a first time riders track day discount.

 

Hey kausi

You should contact this guy Jeremy2792 he just bought a CBR 600rr, his FIRST bike and loves it, maybe he can give you a few ideas to point you in the right direction.

 

Welp I went with a older cbr 600 that way if I do wreck it won't cost me a arm and a leg to replace the bike. I bought a 94 Honda Cbr 600 F2. I have yet to ride it because the msf in my area is backed up, and won't have a opening until a few weeks. But I will be sure to post on how I like it wants I get to ride it

 

congrats! many of us have had f bikes and i can tell you that mine was bulletproof. enjoy, be careful, and have fun.

 

i started out with the bike i own now i thought it was a great starter bike if you can learn to control yourself and not get caught up in the power and speed of course you could always go with a bigger bike one that you would be afraid of but I think i speak for alot of people when you arent afraid of the bike anymore it is time to get rid of that bike.

 

I started on an f2. I thought it was an awesome bike for learning. Just be careful and take your time. Get comfortable with the bike on closed streets or parking lots or whatever, before you ever take it on the road.
