An SV or 650R is more then enough bike and can get anyone in trouble.

I feel sorry for people who only have one SS bike and haven't ridden anything else. They are missing out on the fun of a smaller bike. The 650 brings more smiles to my face daily then the 6r. The only time I like the 6r more is out at the track where I have 4.8 miles per lap of smooth pavement to really open it up.

My bikes share the garage with my modded evo 9 MR and before the bikes I had a Talon that ran low 11s@130+ (at 5400ft elevation) which is faster then either of my bikes.
I love my 650 and, yes, it is plenty enough bike to start on.
