I know very little about bikes. But i understand how a bike that is too powerful can get you in trouble.
I don't want a bike that I'm gonna accidentally pull a wheelie in because i've never pulled teh throttle.
If and when i get a bike I'll prolly start out in town and eventually after a few months get on the highway. Hell I can get everywhere I need to without using the highway
I'm looking at this SV650
This looks like a modified one....
