why is everyone hating on the SV's looks? sure it's not the latest and greatest ss bike, but the SV and SVS both have a good style and there are tons of cool parts out there to turn them into whatever you want.
the SV650 gets my vote almost every time. after throwing a leg over an ex250/500 and gs500 they really leave someone our size wanting more. i'm 6' 200lbs and the SV is just right when you learn to ride it hard, but still nice and tame and usable on the street. not to mention they are affordable and stone cold reliable.
as for helmets and gear, more expensive does not always mean better. but don't cheap out just to have something either. don't waste your money on a mesh jacket, go with a nice fitting perforated leather. get real leather gloves as well, no mesh or nylon "summer" gloves. the one time i crashed i was damn lucky to have good gloves or i wouldn't have palms left on my hands.
