Motorbike: SV650s - SOLD
Default Looking to change my bike

I have a 00 sv650s, red, full fairings, great bike, love it. But I'm thinking of possibly upgrading to something a few years younger (02, 03). The problem is that I'm under 25 so there's not a huge number of options out there. I can't get insured on zx6r, r6, gixxer 600, etc. Looking for some ideas. I'm not mad into never shape sv650s as they don't have the lower fairings. I kinda like the hornet 600 but I prefer sports to street style bikes. Any ideas would be great

Uh... yeah, they do. Dunno why you'd want to hide a v-twin, but the pointy SVs do have full fairing options.

Why you think it's not worth it? Is curvy better than pointy?

CBR is nice but insurance won't cover me as I'm under 25.

Wouldn't be a fan of them. I think a fully faired pointy Sv650s is the best choice for me. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
