Hey guys haven't been on here in awhile I'm in search of my next bike. The 250 is super fun but I a:realize the importance of having a bit more kick on the highways to get out of trouble b:want a more naked looking bike (which correct me if I'm wrong I can just take the fairings off my 250?)
I have been oogling the sv650 but the more i read up on it the more m not sure if its the bike for me? im not a speed demon i dont need huge amounts of torque.
i am starting to really enjoy the feel of leaning into the on ramps, but dont think ill ever be a racer.
i enjoy the look of the street fighter look of the sv650s with the vintage light and nakedness. I dont want to be super hunched over and i dont want to be super upright either. I also weigh like 110 lbs lmao so something not overly heavy.
The main issue im reading about is its stability and cornering, im reading that its not super great on either.
I need help hoosing my second bike, any suggestions?
i live in the city with a love for the country roads, i normally go for longer rides but have taken it on short ones around the block and on the highways.
Thans guys!

 

SV would be perfect for what you're describing. My friend's SV was butter smooth, not racey, but comfortable and planted.

He did put a CBR F3 rim on it in order to run a 180 on the rear, which would help with stability.

 

Buy what fits you comfortably, fits your budget, suits your needs, and calls to you. You have enough experience and maturity to step the power up to a reasonable level. Just expect to take your time learning your new bike.
