I found a 2007 SV650 for what I think is a killer deal, only $3000, it only has 500 miles on it. Okay, to start this off, I'm 19, and looking for my first bike. I'm around 6'4" and 200lbs. Also one thing to consider is that I have big feet, size 15 to 16. I've talked to a few people I know that ride and they have said this may be a problem with certain bikes. So, I don't have my motorcycle permit yet, but I am planning on taking a MSF course this month.
Now, from the reading I have done, The SV650 is recommended as a great beginner bike. Another thing to consider is that since I am only 19, insurance rapes me. So I'm looking for something I can pay cash for. And no I have not sat on one to see how I feel on it. But I think I will go around to a few shops tomorrow and do that.
Would this be a good starter bike for me?
