SV650 is what Suzuki came up to gain market share against Ducati Monster.
They are rock solid bikes, cheap to purchase used, plenty of aftermarket parts for performance, carbs & exhaust are easily tuned to your riding preference, stock parts are also cheap.
I've purchased at least 6 of them since 2010, all first gen (99-02 models), I prefer 1st gen SV650 over 2nd or 3rd gen FI models.
All bought at cheap prices, sold with profits. Including this pair:
The first gen models are lightly lighter in weight, chassis is not teeth chattering stiff, suspension are easily sorted with RaceTech valves at below $150 US. They are my favorite track bike next to CBR F4i.
