    Picked up this 2007 ninja 650r once I get it insured what is a good road to get familiar with the new bike on? I live in the east bay, and this is my first non-supermoto bike, but definitely not my first time on a standard or sportbike. Caught myself wanting to foot out on some low speed...

    SV650?

    Looking for a sv650 thought I would see what is out there. I have cash in hand but not in a hurry to spend it at all, but if the deal is right it will get pounded out. Prefer FI but may consider carb. DOES not need to be shiny brand new, as it will get painted and modified to my liking...
