Selling the SV?
The SV 650 is up for sale. Looking for a new bike, but due to my living situation this has to go before I get something else. It's a great bike and I will miss it if it goes. I'll probably kick myself for getting rid of it in the first place but only time will tell.

Same rust, and torque curve is 4500 rpm, I average 65-68 non highway, 58 highway (65-80) ((6k rpm = 58 mpg )) safe ride, but also ride however comfortable just my thought.

    1:16 Why don't you put your left foot on the foot peg first and then swing over the other leg? That way you can stand on the bike and lift the other leg over it more easily. I've always done this with a slightly higher bike because I'm short too :) You can even get on your bike this way from the other side. Just start with your right foot on the right foot peg first.

    Have been riding since 1978 summer and winter, rain or snow. Commuting, weekend visits to family, Christmas, New Years Eve, holidays in France, Italy, Schweiz and Austria. Strange to hear a newbie complaining about riding in the rain in a T-shirt and jeans - afterwards saying it's not a problem. Don't do it. Use proper rain gear. It's cheap! If you got more than a two cent brain you will find that the SV650 is an excellent bike. Edit: 68 MPG is what I get. Experience counts.

      It's a cheap version of cruise control, it's enough to give your hand a break. It's not good enough to hold an accurate speed but does the job. There are a few versions of this.

    Most vehicles I have ever had whether cars or bikes - the speedo reads faster than actual speed usually by 5-8% . . . less risk of getting a speeding ticket. If you want true speed have GPS connected. I have a Garmin XT on my FJR1300 so it gives me the true speed but I tend to ride very sedately most of time so I'm never usually the fastest vehicle on the highway.

    Washing as you do is fine. I do it frequently and religiously. Those who say it's not neccessary or the cause of corrosion or whatever are incorrect. But, buy yourself an inexpensive electric leaf blower. I use for spot free drying after wash and blows every drop of water out of every nook and cranny. I never hand dry and as noted spot free dry. I often use spray wax / detailer after. Not much area to do on the SV. Tank and plastic around seat. Ride safe.

    Per rust, surface rust like I would guess (can't see it) clean and polish is necessary. Long time biker, collected car guy and detailer. Rust is normal per exposure to the elements. Gotta do the maintenance regularly. Glass cleaner, Windex or Pledge wipes work well. A little cream polish with microfiber if needed. I take the wipes to the fork often.

If you haven't changed it out you might consider what I put in. It's a Cyclops brand H4 LED replacement bulb. Fairly easy to put in and cheaper than the whole replacement light. Big difference! Now the dummies can see you coming. Best upgrade for the $, about $89 US.
