Post Thinkin about gettin a small sport bike

Thinkin about gettin a Suzuki SV650S (http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product...e5-b0f934382fe9)

Just wonderin how much this bike would cost for an 02 or 03 model and a ballpark figure for insurance... im a 19 year old male btw. Also, any good websites for good quality equipment like jackets and the what not. This will be my first bike so any advice is greatly appreciated.


Thanks
Shambler

Many major insurance companies have websites online that will give you quotes instantly. Just make sure you answer the questions honestly to get an accurate quote.

I think that bike was rated as the best beginner bike last year. An 02 or 03 would probably run you like 6 grand im not sure but there not as expensive as a regular sport bike. My bike brand new was 8000 plus tax so im guessing that bike would be at least 1000 cheaper and if its a leftovewr you might be able to get it for 6 - 6500.

Oooohhhh I almost got one. My cousin rides an SV1000. Great bikes, they're V twins so expect the power band to be real peaky. Hard to get used to if you're used to I-4's. Just be super careful with it. It's not a smooth power band....

But check out this site...
