Yesterday I put a "Reserve" down payment on a 2009 SV650 SF. I will probably be buying the bike by months end, have to do some shopping around for loans and insurance. The dealers loan service wants 17 % in interest
despite my good credit and big down payment. I might just buy the bike outright, I could if I needed too.
Anyways, a little background of me. I am a 2nd summer rider. Had a Ninja 250that I am getting rid of. Looking for some pointers to help me do as good as a did with the Ninja (no accident, spills, mechanical problems). Im looking for any helpful websites about maintenence, breaking in the bike, basic upgrades, etc. Any other helpful information I would appreciate.
These bikes are pretty popular. Are they high in theft? Should I get some antitheft.
How are the tires in those first 100 miles. Am I likely to spill the bike? What should I do.
Are the lights on the bike bright enough, do a lot of night riding. Any suggested upgrades?
Any info about carrying passengers?
Insurance in NJ. I was paying $500-$600 with the Ninja. Any idea of how much an increase I am looking at?
Thank you in advance!
