Was bikeless for a while and because of an awesome supportive wife :hug: who is my best friend as well as the big universe, I was able to find something I could afford and that would fit the bill for me and get me riding again.
I found a brand new Suzuki K7 SV1000 for a really great price. So far this bike is really fun.
It's a V-twin very flickable, weighing in at 410 dry. Surprisingly nice, fully tunable suspension. There is one thing I hate on it and it the pillion seat! It looks like someone took a foam cushion off a couch and carved it into a seat. The front seat is a little better but both will be attended to.
