Hey there, new member here riding out of Caledon. I ride a lot.
Currently a vtx 1300, looking at a sv650 or mt07 hmmmmmmmmm
The newer ones with the handlebars? They should be pretty comfy and upright, though being naked bikes, there probably isnt much wind protectionYa I looked, there are a couple nice minty sv650 for good really good prices, I’m just wondering how comfy they’ll be for longer rides compared to my current bike

Ya, the bars would be nice but them being naked and the wind is what I’m more worried about, how do you like yours?The newer ones with the handlebars? They should be pretty comfy and upright, though being naked bikes, there probably isnt much wind protection
But obviously tons more sport potential than a cruiser
I had an older one previously, it was a fantastic bike, more power than I could ever use, handled well, nice engine with loads of usable grunt, reliable good on gas and insurance, but it had clip ons and wasnt very comfortable for long ridesYa, the bars would be nice but them being naked and the wind is what I’m more worried about, how do you like yours?
600-1000k per week, did 800k in 3 days Friday-Sunday last week, I ride all year.Welcome!
What’s your definition of a lot?
Nice, that’s the exact reason im questioning it, I ride all year and the cold wind is what would be an issue. Hmmm ya adventure bike would probably be a good choice. Those nice used sv650 at $3500 $4000 are tempting thoughI had an older one previously, it was a fantastic bike, more power than I could ever use, handled well, nice engine with loads of usable grunt, reliable good on gas and insurance, but it had clip ons and wasnt very comfortable for long rides
I currently ride another naked
and I find wind to only be an issue at the beginning or end of the riding season when it gets cold, if wind and more comfort is important to you, but you dont want a land boat(aka cruiser) perhaps consider a v strom or versys?
@V-Tom has put many hundreds of thousands of km on V-stroms. For your use, I would prefer a V-strom to an SV.600-1000k per week, did 800k in 3 days Friday-Sunday last week, I ride all year.
is this real life?more power than I could ever use, handled well
now I cant function on less than 180 hpis this real life?
lol bruh.
Welcome aboard. There a a bunch of riders on here who ride a fair bit too. At your price point, I also agree that an older V-Strom is a great bike for longer distances, as long as you don't look at it.Hey there, new member here riding out of Caledon. I ride a lot.
Haha not a fan of the look either, the versys looks alot nicerWelcome aboard. There a a bunch of riders on here who ride a fair bit too. At your price point, I also agree that an older V-Strom is a great bike for longer distances, as long as you don't look at it.
