jkv357: An SV650 was on my list of choices, but I just don't like the looks of it as well and I got an awesome deal on the bike. It has a salvage title, so I spent quite a bit of time looking it over and riding it trying to find problems with it. Nothing wrong other than a few scratches. Because of the salvage title and the owner needing cash (cracked the case on the tranny in his daily driver) I got it for about half of what the other 650s were going for. I'll post numbers in that thread when I get a few tanks of gas ran through it so it's not based off just the one number.
alvaro84: yeah, this would be an ER6f to the rest of the world. It's got a little heft to it, but it really isn't bad. I can tell it's heavier than my old ZX6R, but not much. I'm real happy with how it rides, especially for the price. I don't think I could have bought a better bike for the money.
