Hey SVsquad,
Are there any women or know of any women who've ridden the SV650?
I am 110lbs, 5'3 and I went halves on a old, broken down, SV650 with my ex. We fixed it up and I started learning to ride on it. Then of course he sold it.
I've always ridden on the back of my dads cruisers, friends bikes and I ride dirtbikes.. everyone tells me to get the ninja 400 but I feel like I would get bored of that bike quick. I remember the SV was super reliable, easy to work on and was comfortable to ride. I'm smaller but I know how to ride generally but not too much solo/driving street experience.
Wanted the groups input. I don't want to bite off too much for my first, very own street bike but I have good throttle control so I know I'd be able to have self awareness and discipline over the bike. I just want to have power there when I need it and not get caught in a bad situation from lack of power.
Should I suck it up and get a small cc for my first street bike or do you guys think I would be ok on a 650 if I start out slow through neighborhoods and stuff?
Also, do you guys ever adjust suspension to your weight like we do on dirtbikes?
Thank you!😊
