Not to derail the thread, but I see a lot of sv650's for sale in my area for comparatively cheap prices. How are they, comparable to a Ninja 250? I mean, I know it's going to have more power, but is it a lot more torque, heavier, etc?
I'm a bit worried about the torque. I don't consider myself a noob, but also not a master race specialist. If I hit a pot hole or something happens that makes my wrist twist slightly, am I going to find myself wrapped around a tree?
