[QUOTE="Aasland, post: 714100, member: 14773"] I'd say find an SV650 and with the moolah you save update the suspension. Sure .. doesn't have a lot of ponies, but it doesn't weigh much either, especially if you get a 1st gen. IIRC 363 lbs dry. In my experience, the lower horsepower forced me to really learn how to corner, as I can't just twist the grip to exit at the speed I want, like on the VFR. That means I need to enter the corner faster, and carry the speed through the corner. Full disclosure: Wife's bike (i.e. FJR's stablemate) is a 2001 SV650. This winter I added an Ohlin's shock and waiting for GP Suspension to finish up putting the GSXR guts into the stock forks. [/QUOTE]
