TOAD's Motorcycle Wish

Toad has been wanting a motorcycle for a while. Some say it's a deathwish, while others are encouraging him to buy the biggest, baddest sportbikes in the market. However, Toad is not so easily influenced when it comes to this decision. He's set his mind on a bike that's both friendly to the new rider, and yet offers enough performance to please even the seasoned motorcyclist.

Enter the Suzuki SV650.

This is a photo of a 2003-06 SV650 with a few small modifications - most noticeable are the dual headlights (the standard SV has a single light), clip-on handlebars, belly pan, a Devil high mount exhaust and rear seat cover.
It's not a super-bike compared to literbikes such as Yamaha's R1 or Kawasaki ZX10. But the SV offers loads of value and performance at an affordable price.
The 90 degree V-Twin also means plenty of torque and an exhaust note to please even the most skeptic!
All the reviews speak high praises of the SV650 since it's introduction in 1999. Toad can't wait to get one!
