Suzuki SV650-s 2001

This is my first bike - I got my license last year and I've put over 6000 miles on this bike so far. I ride every chance I get and I love it! This bike is the predecessor to the V-Strom but the sport version is kind-of like a baby Gixxer. :-) Thinking about a GSXR for the next one, though, although I really like the look of the new BMW F800. The size is perfect for a woman's first bike but it has enough power to have a little fun, too. And it's pretty easy to wrench, too, although replacing the spark plug on the front cylinder was a bit of a challenge!
