Hello!
Just popping in to say hello
I'm Using a Drift HD 1080 for recording and Adobe premiere pro for editing (steep learning curve for me!)
I currently ride a YBR 125 custom in black, but looking to upgrade to an SV 650 next year after doing my full test!

Yeah, also less likely to drop it in the event you lose your footing/balance.
Really cant wait! hehe

I've only had the one and mine is a 2002 with out any fairing on the front and street fighter build.

i love mine tho. ive noticed with sv's there are two type of people. first gen or second gen lovers.
99-2002 are carbureted not fuel injected. the power isnt to agressive but its still there. i had an r6 befor my sv650 and the r6 and the acceleration is way less scary, its not as touchy and violent. but the sv650 will still lift up a wheel while accelerating if u hammer it. and they sound beastly.

not to familliar with the 2nd gen accept for the fact they are prettier and pretty sure they are fuel injcted and go a little faster.

test rides are key tho. find the bike that fits your needs best.
