I am back on a Suzuki...

I put 15,000 miles on a 2002 Gz250. Good bike.

Then I did 7500 miles on a Yamaha Virago 250. Good power, not as comfortable as the GZ.

Next was a Vulcan 500 for 6500 miles. All around good bike, just not for my style of riding.

I had a Silverwing 600 scooter and still have the PC800.
I was looking for something light with good peg position.

This brings us to a SV650, all I can say is WOW. 72 hp and 400 lbs.

233 miles of twisty roads today.
As you can see there was no two of the same brand.

Four good brands. All the bases are covered. The SV is a very popular bike for good reason. Have fun and do more ride reports with the SV.

What a fine motor as you well know.
A brand new set of Pilot Powers and this thing is glued to the road.

I will do a few ride reports this fall.
