You could even put handlebars on the S for a more upright riding position. Another alternative would be a kawasaki 650r, though I've never rode one I hear they're just as good as an SV. |
Yeah, I am interested in the SV-S. It is about 110 lbs lighter than my Bandit. Even the 650R is about 90lbs lighter. I think either bike would be a good alternative, although I would prefer an I4.
