| Yes MSF is a great step. Street smarts are a must. Learning from friends would put you in a high risk class. Rowdy has links to some reading material and videos. There are other classes available to you as you gain experience, including track time. In some cases an entire weekend of schooling on local tracks. Most of us never ride beyond 50-60% of our bikes capability. Very few use 90-95%. We have several SV riders here. |

It's the SV650s... They come stock without fairings (like you see when you google)... but the dealerships have a fairing package that goes with the bike... runs around 300 bucks. | |

| Check with Louis, you will see that he is saving bucks to buy the lower fairing. Buying the bike is one thing, then comes BLING. The add ons sometimes equal more than the cost of the bike. Lower fairings $400-600 pipes $500-600 Aftermarket seat $600-700 Bars $150-200 Rims $1,000-2,000 Tires $600-1,000 Brakes $300-600 Custom paint job $1,000-10,000 Then there is the small stuff Grips $50-150 Steel braided brake lines $150-250 Turn signals $70-200 LED's $50-200 Tank Bra $75 Bags- $50-500 Do not ever sit down and add up the cost of the Bling, it will blow your mind. The bling on my friends bike was $10,000 which is more than I paid for my bike. The limit is your self restriant |
