Thanks!. Its been almost 5 years since I had my last motorcycle. Will be using this mainly for work - home commute, and it hardly exceeds 60mph, but I can get about about 55mpg with this one. Don not intend to use it on a freeway.
Nice. My buddy back in NY that I used to ride with had an SV, but it was a lil
newer. I miss my bike too.

My buddy LOVES his sv650 spent some crazy money for an exhaust from london, but I must say, You may need to have it looked at. a 650 should comfortably top out closer to 120 mph MAYBE 100 if they increased the size of the rear sprocket, but surely not 60mph. Slightly more horsepower and half the weight of my air cooled 600 and I can sit comfy at 140. I say 120 because its naked.
If you're saying you just will never go faster then that, give it a few weeks lol. I said that about my Ducati lol

I think the way I phrased my sentence was misleading. The bike can do 120 mpg easy. I was saying that, my work commute is on the road where i would not be exceeding 60mph. I have already done much faster than that . But I am gonna try to ride it sensibly and not her at stupid speeds. I dont think it is worth the risk.
