hey man cool video i was thinking about buying a sv 650 ( i race motocross ) i was wondereing if this would be a good bike understanding that i like powerful bikes is this bike affordable and powerful? for a 17 year old

@dryandrouge - Yeah, depends on the motorcross bike you rode. Some of those are only 1 cyclinder and have lots of torque. If thats the case with you, I'd say it's similar enough that you wouldn't be unfamiliar with the powerband and the torque that sv provides.

As far as cost for an SV. ~3200 is right

I had a 2003 FZ1 and it was a great bike, but I sold it because I want the SV 650N. Depends on what you're looking for really. Theres a big difference between those two engines, as you may know.

@ImDamagedBadAtBest ya i knoe cc haha and any were i should start looking?

@dryandrouge - for an SV? I'd go with something 2004 or newer. I like the frame more on those + they're fuel injected and more HP. If you want a sporty SV, go with the 650S, but I like the way a 650N rides. It has a more comfortable riding position.

I'd also say to please ride a FZ6 and SV to see which you like more as the powerbands are completely different. My opinion changes on which Id rather have, but at this point I'd rather have the FZ6. The FZ1 was too much bike...for me anyways.

@ImDamagedBadAtBest well im just looking for something chep and affordably inshurance haha

@dryandrouge - If thats the case, I'd look at the Ninja 500 or 250. I love my 250 and will never get rid of it. However, I wish I had the 500. It has the best of both worlds. Low insurance and plenty of pickup! 0-60 in the high 3 second range. :) more than enough!

Thanks for the info about wrecked bikes. It's good to know that they will get way less if there bikes is totaled out again. Did you film this in west Knoxville by any chance, It looks like I have been there to me. At the stop light in the first part of the video if you go across the road is there DR offices in there, If you turn left like you did and go under the overpass and take the next RT you would be headed back to I-40East. Forget the name of the road you first turned onto. Ride safe, yl

Dude, you're making WAY too much of a little thing, only getting $2K back on a $4K bike is not a big deal, you only need theft insurance anyway because unless you had a crazy low deductible it would be cheaper to repair minor things yourself, than to pay deductible AND have your insurance rate go up, versus lower insurance payment for nothing but theft insurance on bike.

What you should have done in light of the vehicle's situation is wait a few days then offer less money for it.

@ImDamagedBadAtBest ok so a kawi 250 or 500? how much are they? you have a specific model i should look at?
