I know there may be some bias here obviously. I am 5'7" 165lbs. My current bike is a Ninja 250. I use it as my only transportation rain or shine in S Florida.
I'm looking at upgrading and this seemed to be the most active forum I could find out of the 3 I'm debating about now.
I was told the sv650 might be a little tall for me. I'm not sure if the GS500 is similar to the sv650 or not. It is a 500 and the Ninja 500 is also there.
Do any of you guys/gals have opinions on these 3? I've outgrown racing. How much more power would the sv650 have over the other two 500s? Would the 500s be enough power to ride 2 up?
I'm not a power freak, but we all know having extra power is never a bad thing. I'm also looking for fuel efficiency and useful features and reliability.
My current ninja 250 annoys me slightly. There is no fuel gauge and no low fuel light. However it has been very reliable.
I'm also not sure how long the GS500 or the Ninja 500 has been around compared to the sv650. I'd like something reliable that I can find parts for ideally.
I'm sorry to annoy you with questions like this. Since I have no garage it would be a faired bike as it will be driven in the rain and kept outside.
