I’ve been looking for a clean first-gen SV650 for a long time. Already got a GS500 and a YZF600R so don’t NEED another bike, but everybody’s been talking how great a SV is so I’d like to own one just to see. What are the design flaws/electrical problems you mentioned, other than the burned rectifier issue you wrote about?
Have you considered getting a low mileage, first-gen FZ1 as a replacement for your SV?
