SV650
The SV650's 645cc V-twin is the most recommended engine for new riders who want real performance character without intimidating power — low-end torque, a 30.9-inch seat, and a 430-lb curb weight make it approachable at any skill level. Used examples between $4,000 and $6,000 represent the best power-per-dollar ratio in the naked segment.
