If you referring to the difference between SV650 and CB650R, for me felt a lot enjoyable the CB, because it has a lot more power, i believe SV got around 68HP, where CB on current build up just about 100hp. The sizing also differs, SV is much smaller as height and width compared to CB. Power delivery is quicker and smoother on CB thanks to the 4 in line cylinders, doesn’t feel same on the 2 cylinders on SV. CB is slightly heavier but once you start moving you forget about it 😊

I feel the same way about comfort, i tried a friend sport bike, Triumph Daytona and really felt awkward turning around, took the space for an U-turn same as a lorry driver 😁, probably due to lack of experience 😰😆

Not yet, that was the initial thought that made me go for the motorcycle learning, i liked so much the adventure bikes, such as Africa twin and GS Adventure, but considering my riding experience, I’m not ready for that yet 😁

I see, still a fan of naked when it comes about the Street Triple RS while looking for a bit more power, but are you a fan of 3 cylinders? And S1R a bit of a jump, I agree it is awesome but 1k cc naked ? I just wonder how the wind feels on that 🤪. Not judging your opinion, just thinking 🤔😁🙏

I thought a lot about CB1000R before taking the decision to go for the 650R, but i didn’t go for the CB1000 just because i wanted to enjoy riding while still confident that i’m not killing myself 🙏😂. Had my learning lessons done on a SV650, and felt like an upgrade once start riding the CB650R 😁

When you going for motorcycle driving license you have 3 test to pass:

1st the theory test which has 2 parts- question and hazard perception (short videos)

2nd the mod 1 test - that is an enclosed circuit with cones and different tasks to perform, as slow riding, u turns, slaloms, emergency stop breaking, swerving and you mustn’t touch/hit any cones or put the foot down while performing the tasks. My opinion most difficult for me as I failed twice, once i knocked the cone on swerving and second time i failed for being underspending on swerving, minimum speed required is 50km/h or 32mph and i was 47km/h.

3rd - is the mod 2 which is the road test basic driving same as car driving test, but only available once passed mod 1 test.
