yes. i planned on waiting about 6 months to a year of continuous riding before she gets anywhere near the bike. I live in SoCal where we have riding season all year round. Anyways my main concern is that i’m a quick learner, responsible, and on a budget. i can’t afford to buy something i would get bored of in less than a year. Maybe, it would be worth the tougher learning process on the SV650 so that i have a bike that would develop me for the years to come.

thanks a bunch for your reveiw. i just got my class M permit yesturday and will be taking the MSF course in about 3 weeks. The GS 500 is the main bike i am looking at buying after my MSF course. quick question for you….. In weigh about 200 lbs. and would like to know if i toss my gf (135 lbs) on the back would i still be able to keep up in traffic? Also, was this enough power to start on? i am also looking at the SV650 as another starter bike. What do you suggest?

Thanks Joseph

I don’t mind a harder learning process as long as it’s with the right bike. I understand it will be harder but I think it will pay off in the long run. Thanks for the advice.

i was unaware of the fact that the resale value was so good. Thanks for the advice i REALLY love that sv650 though, we’ll see. And i wouldn’t have riding seasons. I live in southern cali where we are blessed to have riding season year round. This would be my everyday bike year round. on another note, I was hoping to be able to go two up after like 6 months of continuos riding….. Is this a bad idea?

I have rode some dirtbikea but nothing bigger than a 250. No racing experience or anything like that, just having fun with buddies ndo u u think the sv650 is too much? U hope it’s not because I love that bike and know that it is something I would like to keep for a period of time. Also would like enough power for a passenger on the highway. I appreciate the help on getting informed before making this desicion.
