Yes. It rules.

What do you want to know?

Love mine.

+ Pulls out of the corner in any gear, handeling, stylin', great brakes, not a honyamkowzuki, etc.

- Higher maint, less support from aftermarket, higher cost, etc.

Got any specific questions?

Not much, really. I was looking into this bike or the sv650s. Is this one of those bikes that will jump up and bite u in the ass if u make a lil mistake?

It's rather underpowered for a 803cc bike. So, not really.

I wouldn't recommend it as a first bike (it's my first sportbike... I'd have gone with a Monster as first, then this as a second, maybe). I'm in the middle of doing some mods to make it more "user-friendly" - Sargent seat, rearsets, heli bars, steering damper.

Only problem I have with mine is limited aftermarket. The SS bikes are less than popular for some reason. Just would like to go up 2 teeth on the sprocket otherwise I love it.
