Suzuki 650. Can be had for a song, used.
A twin, handles like a dream. Taste great, less filling !!!
Torquey twins are really fun on back roads. I4 sportbikes are too much for a beginning rider to learn the basics of cornering and stuff like that on. The rush they provide on the straights is fun and all, but in my worthless opinion, not enough to base a purchase on. But, to each their own |
I'm not exactly a beginner, but i'm not a super experienced rider. I've only got 5 years of riding under me. I didn't ride, but I sat on a I think it was a Honda 919 that seemed to have the same stance as a SV650 and it still wasn't for me. I do always hear people talking about how great the SV650 is though.
I am hoping to get out to a track with my next bike though. I never had leather pants so I was never able to take my previous one out so I'm going to pick up some so I can finally get that experience. I don't care about winning, or even being competitive, just going out there and being able to do the things I can't on the city streets!
