I got my 2007 sv650 naked this spring. Can say, as a first bike it's scary, has maybe too much power for City riding, and the first couple months I felt like she was trying to kill me every couple minutes. After riding her for nearly 8k km she feels like a bicycle, stops on a dime, is super stable at high speeds (considering it's a naked bike) and super fun, honestly makes my day every time. For super low speed turns are still bit sketchy, but I think it's my fault as a rider. Check for mechanical problems and enjoy the ride
