well now that Ive had my 02 SV650s for a couple of month's i can say. this thing is absolutely awesome it dose equally well on both surface streets and hwy & is very agile at all speeds it has good torque plenty of HP & is hyper responsive both in rolling on & rolling off the throttle in any gear & has great breaks.
over all a great bike!
now the down side.
1st the rear end is real light so riders under 180 will want to adjust the rear shock so your rear end doesn't hop around on you when you hit rough pavement.
2nd it gets speed wobbles at around 140 and so needs a steering damper.
3rd the hyper responsive throttle takes a little getting used to.
