SV650s are not comfortable at all. They pretty much have a semi aggressive riding stance. the sv650n on the other hand is comfortable.

I own a sv650s and am a beginner.
What about rasing the handle bars?

Here is a good example.



2004 YAMAHA YZFR6, MINT condition, limited edition in Liquid silver with black flames. It is a one owner, adult owned with only 2800 miles. It has never been down and there's not a scuff, scratch, chip, ding or dent to be found anywhere on it. The only flaw is where my sneaker touched the exhaust a little, and it's barely noticeable. It looks and runs like brand new and has been kept in my garage, under a cover since new.Please contact me through e-mail for details. $3800, 703-468-1405
Hell of a deal! You know I had the very first R1 back in 98. It was a heck of a bike for it's time and still is today. I never would have thought it have grown to what it is today.

You should also try adjusting your bars first rotate the grips, sometimes that helps comfort.

I have bar risers on the VFR, makes a big difference.

That is a pita, you need a front stand to do that too.

I have one if you need to borrow it.
