Several months ago I pitched the "commuter bike" idea to the wife. Well, that went over like a fart in church.
The other day she had been talking to a friend in the car/bike business, and he told her how inexpensive it all can be with ins. and all.
So she says to me as I just sat down from work "So, you should consider a bike. Mark says you could get on one pretty cheap".
I got up, walked outside for a second, and re-entered. She asked what I was doing, and I told her I was making sure I was in the right house.
Anyway, anyone have any knowlege of the SV650? Just plan on riding to work and back, and running around town.

See a lot of them road racing...a lot
So they must handle well also
Since Suzuki calls it a "Standard" motorcycle, one wouldn't expect to pay "Crotch rocket" insurance prices would they?
The Shop
You can roost, jump RR tracks, and wheelie over curbs, and then ride it to work
you might consider a kawasaki versys.
Great bike, handles great! Buy one!
Get the Gel seat for it, thank me later.
The sv kicks ass SMF. pretty smooth ride, lowend torque and not peaky like a conventional crotchrocket. since you said SV and not SVS i'll go ahead and tell you it's a more comfortable/upright riding position so it saves your wrist and neck compared to the S or another sportbike. Great on track days too. Suspension kinda soft for track but like EI says they are a popular choice on track days. with slight mods they rule on the track.
let me know when you pick one up. i'll trade you for a slightly used/bent up kxf 450....
