Comment
The SV series of V-twins have been
around for a few years. However this version is specifically
for new riders and is a de-tuned version of the regular and full
power version. It's easy to get the big bike sound from after
market pipes and easy enough to upgrade to full power once the
learner restrictions have expired however it may cost more because
this is a specific model. Check with a reputable dealer.

Comment
The GSXxxxF series frame has been
around for over a decade in 600cc form. In turn it's based on
the 750cc version that's even older and the Bandit series which is
even older still! With the latest supersports GSXR
styling clues it's hard to tell what it is at least from front on.
Like the SV series it's easy enough to
convert to the full power version or modify. However it may
cost more to de-restrict because like the SV it is a specific model.
Check with a reputable dealer.

This is a dirt bike that you can
ride on the road too! A step up from the popular 250cc and
400cc dedicated but often NOT road registrable dirt bikes.
The DR650 has been around for over a decade
in its current design and well proven. Although the engine
does not produce much power it is the torque figure that makes this
bike durable, fun and 'powerful'. If fitted with extended range fuel
tanks and a few performance mods it would challenge bikes twice the
price. EG. BMW and Honda.
Very suitable if you have long legs or
taller than average. Also consider the Kawasaki KLR
alternative!

This is a traditional supermotard,
a combination of dirt and road motorcycle. This is the real
thing with sports motorcycle parts like suspension and tyres all
customised for you to enjoy.
The only downside of being dirt bike based
is the small petrol tank! That said if used for the intended
purpose namely
