brilliant mate there quite a tall bike,also consider a suzuki bandit 600 there quite good but both will be quite expensive to insure for a new rider also look at suzuki gs 500 they are very cheap to insure

Really easy to ride and quite comfortable on a journey,it shares a lot of parts with the R6

Not into sv's at all. Think you will get bored quite quickly.

Just get your budget in mind and see what you can afford!
