Least thats what I hear) And since it's not all crazy insurance is cheaper. Figured it's something good to learn on until I'm confident enough to move up to a 600 sports bike. =)
SV650 is a great choice. Awesome corner carver & nice low end grunt being that its a v-twin!

One thing I will say that almost anyone who rides will tell you....You're going to get bored w/it pretty quick.
My first bike was an 00 Gixxer 600...I had the bike 6 months before I got rid of it. A guy I work with bought an 06 SV650 brand new about 2 months ago, he hates himself everyday cuz he's stuck w/a payment on bike he got bored w/after a week.
Just take the MSF course before you get on the bike. It'll be just about the best $250 you can spend.

More beer FTW!
99BackNBlackZ28- If the clutch is on a late madel f-car $200. You buy parts of course and I can have it done in 3 hrs or so. I think book time on a clutch in one of these cars is 4.7 or so.
