Good, reliable bike?

RacingRice, I don't mean to step on your toes, but I really think the SV650 is a great starter bike. Everyone that I know that has started on one has loved it and recomends it to all their friends. I have ridden them and think the same. I agree that a 250 and 500cc Ninja are great starter bikes as well, but people get bored with them quickly.

Its cool, I know exactly what your saying. It really boils down to the person and what they are capable of and comfortable on. For some people the SV650 still makes more power then they can handle, its torquey and can wheelie unexpectedly. I dont see why a person that has passed an MSF course couldnt ride one though. Thats the only reason I say its a borderline beginner bike.
