I would love it if I could find a second gen sv650s for around my budget of 5,000, but they seem to hold their value so well it’s hard to find one below 6,000 in the toronto area.
I recently found out about the ninja 650r.. which I believe is comparable to the SV in performance and insurance prices. The 650r, tho harder to find, goes for about 5k for an 06 which is not bad plus it looks great :p. From what I understand the 650r is a Vtwin similar to the SV, with even slightly less bhp, is there a reason why this bike isn’t mentioned on this site as a recommended first bike?
