first thing i noticed was how good the brakes are compared to my bandit, and you sit in it not on it,And can't you sling a lighter bike around easier than a heavy one , But obviously its got no where near the grunt of my big 12

I think they are more for the ladies market personally, when i sat on one i felt is was to light, thought i could pick it up like a 125 having said that its a stunning looking machine

When I first saw one of these i thought it was a modern Bandit.

It was made for women in mind but also to replace the SV650 but it wasnt as good a seller as the SV so they started to build them again.
I was tempted to get one a year ago but decided to get a used SV instead and not regreted it for a moment

Sorry just not my cup of tea, I am very unsure of the looks.

It was acutally aimed at the European market with France in particular. Lots of little blokes in France not to mention the Med. Its not particularly aimed at women riders more for those with a shorter inside leg..
