Sorry for the late response but congrats on the find! My buddy picked up an SV650 for his starter bike, it was also an 01. Same deal, really fun bike, really easy to ride, great sound, etc. If you plan to keep it, I'd look for the full fairing kit (i vaguely recall there being something like that for this model).

Also, I was gonna suggest an SV650 to start with. I think a 250 for most ppl is a waste of time/money. Lemme know when you are ready for some DC rush hour commuting... I'll teach you how to split lanes with courtesy. :)

Thats a sweet deal! What kind of mileage are you getting so far?

Not sure about he mileage just yet. I only got to ride it home, we left the day after i got it to go out of town so i didn't even hit the dmv to register it yet :( i will let you know though.



Also i was not too sure about the blue muffler, but it sounds good and looks better than i thought in person.

I just came across this on the NE chapter of BFc, know you got a bike but someone else might be interested in it

Triumph ST955i $2600

Looks very nice, seems like you got a great deal!

SV650 ftw, no problems with that decision!

[DerRoteBaron]

looks awesome. the blue muffler is different.

Nice bikes! I rode a friends back when I was still riding.

Keep your eye out for a wrecked Gixxer 600 to cannibalize the rear shock/front forks and brakes and you'll REALLY have a sweet handling bike.

Just got a bike last night. Picked up a 2001 sv650s for $2500 with only 3900 miles. Its been dropped once by the previous owner and they busted the turn signal but it runs really smooth and fits me. I am happy with it, I was trying to keep the budget below $3000 so I have room to spare.

i'm saving for HD nightster. maybe in 2 years. i just got my license 6 months ago.

Vintage Honda's is where its at. This is my 77 cb550f. It was ready for the junk when I got it, took a lot of new and used parts, but i'm only into it about $800 and I ride it everywhere.

Any other good bike ideas? I thought I made a deal for a sv650 naked bike yesterday and it fell through :(

[5spoke]

dude, did you do it at Quantico Marine Base? I just got my license as well there, and learned on those Hyosung (sp)

looking for a bike myself.

first i thought of going with a K75s BMW bike to keep it in the family but then i said hello to a 09 Monster 696 and I is in love!

Nope I actually did it in richmond, so my brother-in-law who is 18 could do it with me.



I am planning on going to someplace in the next few days to sit on some bikes and get an idea of what will fit me.
