Such as? I haven't really heard too many negatives.



As you mentioned, low-speed FI and springs.  I've also heard a narrow clutch engagement is a problem for noobs.

I voted 650R, but you've left out a very competitive bike....

I absolutely love it.

Twins are great.  For "other" I suggested a 2-valve Ducati.  Inlove

I didn't poll.  Even though I own an SV, any of the above bikes would be excellent "starter" bikes.  

With the SV (1st. gen) I cruise about 5300RPM at 70 MPH.  This is stock gearing, and the only "power adder" is a K&N filter.  As far as the SV being able to do 125 MPH top speed.  Only going off of a steep mountain.   Rolleyes

You might want to check out the Street Triple also... Inlove

I really liked how the 650R looked but after I sat on it it didn't feel as good as the fz6r, the other that was in the running was the gsx650f. I like the I4, very very smooth.

Picked other so I will be suggesting a Honda 919 simply because I was looking at one the other day.
