'nevertheless' is the same reasoning I'm using to rationalise a motorcycle.
I'm not a heavy rider, nor particularly interested in power, but more balanced and nippy bikes, hence the SV. It was initially a VFR, but their scarcity and delicacy kinda scared me off.
I'm also looking for a bit of a project, as I know I won't leave the bike untouched for long. Thing is, I have NO idea what I should be looking at if I go check out a used one as I know it's totally dependent on each bike. Cue hmm'ing and ahh'ing

It's a very naughty piece of kit. Too naughty for me really but nevertheless....
My sis had a second generation SV650 for ages and absolutely loved it. I wasn't the biggest fan (not as torquey as I'd expected and perhaps a bit bland as stock.) That said they have a huge following, an almost inexhaustible array of handling and performance options and can be turned into real fun weapons. The old ones with the roundy styling and frames are less desirable. I think Suzuki are in the process of releasing a new version that looks pretty cool..
